Stopping - MacDon M2170NT Operator's Manual

1. Move ground speed lever (GSL) (A) out of PARK towards the
seat and hold.
2. Slowly turn the steering wheel in the direction in which you
want to turn. The windrower will pivot between the
drive wheels.
3. To increase the turn radius, slowly move the GSL away from
NEUTRAL.
NOTE:
Remember that this will increase ground speed as well.
4. To stop the turn, slowly turn the steering wheel back to its
centered position.

Stopping

This procedure describes how to bring a moving windrower to a complete stop and then shut off the engine.
WARNING
Do NOT move the ground speed lever (GSL) rapidly back to NEUTRAL. You may be thrown forward by a sudden stop
and the wheels may skid, reducing steering control. Always wear a seat belt when operating the windrower.
CAUTION
Park on a level surface with the ground speed lever (GSL) in the PARK position and the steering wheel in the locked
(centered) position. Wait for the HarvestTouch
brake is engaged.
1. Anticipate stopping and SLOWLY move GSL (A) to NEUTRAL
and into PARK.
2. Turn the steering wheel until it locks.
3. Move throttle lever (B) to low-idle position.
IMPORTANT:
Before stopping the engine, run at low idle for
approximately 5 minutes to cool off hot engine parts and
allow the turbocharger to slow down.
NOTE:
Avoid unnecessary idling. Stop the engine if it will be idling
for longer than 5 minutes.
NOTE:
The brakes engage automatically when the steering wheel
is locked in the PARK position.
4. Turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the OFF position.
