Collision hazard
DANGER
To prevent injury or death from a collision between the
windrower and other vehicles when you are operating the
windrower on public roadways:
• Obey all highway traffic regulations in your area. Use pilot
vehicles in the front and the rear of the windrower (if you
are required to do so by law).
• Use a slow-moving vehicle emblem and activate the
machine's warning lights, unless these actions are prohibited
by law.
• If the attached header impedes other vehicle traffic, remove
the header and install a MacDon-approved weight box onto
the windrower. Refer to the windrower and header
operator's manuals for instructions on safely towing the
header.
• Adjust the drive wheel width and walking beam width for
road transportation as required per local regulations
(narrow transport option only available on some models).
For instructions, refer to the operator's manual for safe
procedure.

To prevent serious injury or death from loss of control:
• Ensure that the windrower's weight remains within the
limits specified in the operator's manual.
• The weight on the tail wheels should be greater than
1179 kg (2600 lb.) when the windrower is operating in the
cab-forward direction.
