GENERAL SAFETY

The following are general farm safety precautions that should be part of your operating procedure for all types of machinery.

1. Protect yourself.

When assembling, operating and servicing machinery, wear all the protective clothing and personal safety devices that COULD be necessary for the job at hand. Don't take chances.

You may need:

• a hard hat.

• protective shoes with slip resistant soles.

• protective glasses or goggles.

• heavy gloves.

• wet weather gear.

• respirator or filter mask.

• hearing protection. Be aware that prolonged

exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wearing a suitable hearing protective device such as ear muffs (A) or ear plugs (B) protects against objectionable or loud noises.

2. Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of emergencies.

3. Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be sure the extinguisher is properly maintained and be familiar with its proper use.

4. Keep young children away from machinery at all times.

5. Be aware that accidents often happen

when the operator is tired or in a hurry to get finished. Take the time to consider the safest way. Never ignore warning signs of fatigue.

are the key to safety.

OPERATION

PREPARING THE TRACTOR

1. Select proper tractor size:

For 21', 25' or 30' units required is 40 hp (30 kw) and minimum tractor weight is 5000 lbs. (2270 kg). For 36' unit hp (38 kw) and minimum tractor weight is 6000 lbs. (2720 kg). For all sizes, minimum hydraulics required are 1800 psi (12400 kPa) pressure with dual remote capability.

2. For tractors with variable PTO speed, select

540 or 1000 rpm to match windrower speed option. See "Preparing the Windrower" in this section.

3. Adjust tractor drawbar to meet ASAE Standard

specifications as listed below for the PTO speed to be used (540 or 1000 rpm). An improperly located drawbar may damage the universal joints of the implement driveline, and/or affect machine performance

Be sure the following specifications are met:

(A) 14 in. (356 mm) for 540 rpm. 16 in. (406 mm) for 1000 rpm.

(B) 6 to 12 in. (152 to 305 mm)

NOTE: An offset drawbar (D) can be turned over if required to meet specifications (B) and (C).

4. Secure the drawbar so the hitch pin hole is

directly below the driveline.

NOTE: If the tractor has a three point hitch, raise the lower links as high as possible, to prevent damage.

5. Attach support (E) for hitch chain to suitable

location on tractor drawbar, maximum 6 inches (150 mm) from hitch pin hole. For 36 ft. unit, also note item 7.

OPERATION

PREPARING THE WINDROWER

1. Be sure windrower is set up to match tractor

PTO speed. A quick way to check is to measure the outside diameter of the driven pulley (A):

9-1/2 inch (240 mm) - 540 rpm

12-1/2 inch (320 mm) - 1000 rpm If not matched, and tractor PTO speed cannot be varied, order a conversion kit from your windrower dealer. (Kit includes front yoke, decal and instructions.)

IMPORTANT: To avoid machine damage, follow instructions provided in kit for removal of main drive pulley. This procedure is also detailed under "Removal of Main Drive Pulley" in Maintenance/ Service section.

2. Use correct hitch type: For tractors with clevis type drawbar, windrower hitch is compatible without modification. For tractors with straight drawbar, an optional hitch plate (B) is available to convert windrower hitch to clevis type.

To install:

- Remove bolt (C) securing hitch chain.

- Position plate (B) under hitch and replace bolt (C) to secure hitch chain.

- Install bolt (D) from option kit and secure with locknut.

3. With tractor drawbar adjusted to recommendations listed under "Preparing the Tractor", adjust the drive frame vertically at (E) so telescoping driveline (F) is in straight line with tractor PTO.

NOTE: The telescoping driveline (F) should slide under hand pressure. Grease if required.

4. Install quick coupler tips matching the tractor to be used on the two hydraulic hoses going to the tractor.

OPERATE CORRECTLY

CAUTION:

1. Follow all safety and operational instructions given in your tractor Operator's Manual. If you do not have a tractor manual, get one from your dealer and read it thoroughly.

2. Never attempt to start the tractor engine or operate the windrower except from the tractor seat.

3. Check the operation of all controls in a safe clear area before starting work.

4. Do not allow riders on tractor or windrower.

5. Never start or move the machine until you are sure all bystanders have cleared the area.

6. Avoid travelling over loose fill, rocks, ditches or holes.

7. Drive slowly through gates and doorways.

8. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, or when travelling over rough ground.

9. When working on inclines, travel uphill or downhill when possible. Be sure to keep tractor transmission in gear when travelling downhill.

10. Never attempt to get on or off a moving tractor.

11. Do not get off the tractor while the windrower is in operation.

12. Stop tractor engine and remove key before adjusting or removing plugged material from the machine. A child or even a pet could engage the drive.

13. Check for excessive vibration and unusual noises. If there is any indication of trouble, shut down and inspect the machine. Follow proper shut-down procedure:

- engage tractor brake

- disengage PTO

- turn off engine and remove key

- wait for all movement to stop

- dismount and engage cylinder stops before inspecting raised machine.

OPERATION

IMPORTANT: Satisfactory function of the windrower in all situations requires making proper adjustments to suit various crops and conditions.

Correct operation reduces crop loss and allows cutting of more acres. As well, proper adjustments and timely maintenance will increase the length of service you receive from the machine.

ENGAGING THE PTO

DANGER: Be sure all bystanders are clear of the machine before engaging

the PTO. Never leave tractor seat with the PTO engaged. Entanglement with rotating driveline will cause serious injury or death.

• Engage the PTO slowly, just before the

windrower is moved up to the standing crop. Engage PTO only when tractor is angled less than 45° to driveline.

• Be sure tractor PTO speed and windrower drive

are matched. See "Preparing the Windrower" in this section.

• Disengage the PTO when not operating the

windrower.

CUTTING WIDTH

Unless combine capacity is a limiting factor, run the left side of the header close to the edge of the standing crop, taking a full cut. If a full width windrow will overload your combine, cut less than a full windrower width. Overloading the combine means wasted crop, high fuel consumption, and possible repair bills.

RIGHT HAND DIVIDER ROD

The divider rod (A) can be angled in or out to provide proper separation and clean entry in a variety of crops. To change angle; loosen hardware, move rod to desired position and tighten hardware.

HEADER LOCK

WARNING: To avoid bodily injury or

death from fall of raised machine,

always engage header lock (A) before going under windrower for any reason.

NOTE: Should the condition arise where the lock

pin cannot be installed with the header fully raised, install shim washers between bracket (B) and stop (C).

When not in use, store pin at (D).

CUTTING HEIGHT

IMPORTANT: Avoid raising header to full height

when in field position. Right wheel may rotate into transport position.

The windrow should normally be laid on stubble from 6 to 8 inches high (150 to 200 mm).

Benefits of a stubble of this height:

• Allows free circulation of air under the windrow

for more even drying.

• Supports the windrow without bending.

• Keeps grain heads from contacting ground.

Heads that touch the ground are difficult to pick up and will sprout in damp weather.

Cutting height is controlled from the tractor with remote cylinder control valve lever.

Minimum Header Height

The header lift cylinder has an adjustable stop to vary minimum header height. To adjust:

WARNING: To avoid bodily injury or

death, raise header fully and engage

header lock.

2. Turn stop (E) towards cylinder barrel to raise

minimum height.

HEADER LOCK - ENGAGED

OPERATION

GROUND SPEED

CAUTION: Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, or when travelling over rough

ground.

Tractor ground speed should not exceed 8 mph (13 km/h). For most crop conditions a ground speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) has been found satisfactory.

Choose a ground speed that allows the sickle to cut the crop smoothly and evenly, while giving the desired windrow formation.

NOTE: Ground speed affects the orientation of stalks in the windrow. Increasing ground speed will cause the configuration of the windrow to go from parallel formation to herringbone or dovetail. See "Windrow Characteristics" in this section.

As ground speed is increased, draper and reel speed should be increased to handle the extra material.

The chart below indicates the relationship between ground speed and area cut for each windrower size. Example (see arrows below): At ground speed of 5 mph (8 km/h), a 36 ft. windrower will cut approximately 22 acres (9 hectares) per hour.

OPERATION

REEL SPEED

Reel speed affects the smoothness and evenness of the windrow. Operating the reel too fast or too slow relative to ground speed will cause bunching in the windrow.

In standing crop, reel speed should be just faster than ground speed to sweep the crop across the sickle.

A faster reel speed may be necessary in leaning or down crop.

Excessive shattering of grain heads may be an indication that reel speed is too fast.

Reel speed is variable from 27 to 50 rpm, over two speed ranges.

To adjust speed within a range

1. To reduce speed, move shims at (A) from

outside to between pulley halves.

2. To increase speed, remove shims from

between halves and store outside pulley.

To change speed range

(B) as follows:

1. Remove nut (C), shims at (A) and outer pulley

half (B).

2. Remove pulley half (D) under main drive shield

and store the pulley half removed in Step 1.

3. Install new pulley half on drive shaft, position

shims as required, and secure with nut.

NOTE: The smaller diameter pulley half is used for the low speed range. The larger diameter pulley half is used for the high speed range.

REEL POSITION - FORE & AFT

Reel fore-aft position can be adjusted to suit various crop conditions:

For straight standing crop, the reel position is normally centered above the cutterbar.

For crops that are down, tangled, or leaning, move reel ahead of cutterbar.

Bushy crops require positioning the reel behind the cutterbar, applying downward force on the crop and drapers.

To adjust the fore-aft position of the reel

1. Position reel height so support arms (A) are

horizontal.

2. Loosen locknut (B) at left support arm.

3. Loosen jam nut and positioning screw (C)

under each support arm.

4. Slide the reel to desired position. A pry bar may

be used in hole (G).

DRAPER SPEED

Draper speed affects the orientation of stalks in the windrow. Faster draper speeds will tend to form herringbone or dovetail configurations. See "Windrow Characteristics" in this section.

Draper speed is variable from 275 to 480 feet per minute (84 to 146 m/min) by shimming. One shim will change draper speed approximately 19 feet per minute (6 m/min)

To increase speed

2. Reposition shims as required.

3. Replace pulley half, shims and bolts. Store

unused shims outside pulley.

4. Tighten hardware.

NOTE: When a slower draper speed is required even after removing all shims at draper drive roller pulley, add shims between pulley halves (C) on drive shaft. However, for maximum belt life extended use of shims at pulley (C) is not recommended. When increasing speed, always remove any shims at (C) first.

OPERATION

DELIVERY OPENING HEIGHT

Height of the frame tube can be adjusted within a 6” (150 mm) range by repositioning the caster wheel spindle on the supports. A lower frame tube height gives a flatter draper/guard angle, while higher frame tube heights are beneficial in bulky crops.

Adjust delivery opening height as follows:

1. Place jack at left or right end as shown.

BLOCK HEIGHTS:

L/H side – A 6” (150 mm) block (four 2x4’s) is

required under jack to raise to highest setting. NOTE: When going from highest to lowest position, a 6” block under jack is too high to reach lowest position. Move in stages as follows:

• Use a 6” block to move from high to

mid position.

• Lower onto wheel and remove one 2x4

to leave a 4-1/2” block.

• Jack up again and move from mid to

low setting.

R/H side – A 4-1/2” (115 mm) block (three 2x4’s) is adequate for all adjustments.

2. Remove four bolts and reposition spindle on

caster as desired. NOTE: Spindle hangs on caster on a welded stud, so weight of wheel does not need to be supported as adjustment is made. Tighten bolts to 80 ft.lbs. (110 N⋅m).

NOTE: Factory assembly of casters is in a lower clearance position, with rounded end of bracket up as at (A). For highest settings, turn spindle bracket 180°, so rounded end is down as at (B).

3. Repeat at other end. See Levelling the

Cutterbar, below.

Levelling the Cutterbar

In field position, the right end of the cutterbar should be 1 to 3 inches (25 to 75 mm) higher than the left end to accommodate the weight of the grain on the drapers when windrowing.

WINDROW CHARACTERISTICS

Factors such as ground speed, reel speed, draper speed and delivery opening will all affect the resulting windrow. You will quickly become adept at adjusting these variables to achieve the desired results.

NOTE: Crop condition is a major factor in forming a good windrow. While standing or uniformly leaning crops can generally be easily formed into an acceptable windrow, such is not the case when stalks are tangled or leaning in several directions.

There are three basic criteria by which the quality of a windrow is measured:

1. Weight Distribution - heads and stalks distributed evenly across full width of windrow.

2. Good Curing - a loose, open windrow for better drying.

3. Good Weatherability - a well formed windrow that supports heads off the ground and holds together in

extreme weather conditions.

HERRINGBONE WINDROW

The most desirable form of windrow, stalks are crossed and interwoven. Heads are distributed across full width of windrow. Windrow rating:

Weight Distribution: Good Curing Characteristics: Good Weatherability: Excellent

FANTAIL WINDROW

The stalk tips are crossed in the center and heads are in line along outside edges. Windrow rating:

Weight Distribution: Fair Curing Characteristics: Fair Weatherability: Fair

DOVETAIL WINDROW

The stalk tips are lined along outside edges of windrow and heads are crossed in center. Windrow rating:

Weight Distribution: Poor Curing Characteristics: Fair Weatherability: Poor

PARALLEL WINDROW

The stalks are parallel to windrow and heads evenly distributed across width of windrow. Windrow rating:

Weight Distribution: Good Curing Characteristics: Good Weatherability: Good

CORNERING

Because of the long turning radius of the larger windrowers (especially 36 ft.), use the cornering procedure illustrated.

This procedure will prevent swath disturbance and grain loss caused by tractor and/or windrower tires. In addition, the technique should result in a corner that can be picked up by your combine without extra turning.

STORAGE PROCEDURE

Do the following at the end of each operating season:

CAUTION:

1. Clean the windrower thoroughly. Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile material for cleaning purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or flammable.

2. Cover cutterbar and sickle guards to prevent injury from accidental contact.

Also:

3. Store in a dry, protected place if possible. If stored outside, always cover windrower with a waterproof canvas or other protective material.

4. If machine is stored outside, remove drapers and store in a dark, dry place.

NOTE: If drapers are not removed, release

tension and angle header so water/snow will not accumulate on drapers. This accumulation of weight puts excessive stress on drapers and header.

5. Lower header onto blocks to keep cutterbar off the ground.

6. Lower reel completely. If stored outside, tie reel to frame to prevent rotation caused by wind.

7. Repaint all worn or chipped painted surfaces to prevent rust.

8. Loosen all drive belts.

9. Lubricate the windrower thoroughly, leaving excess grease on fittings to keep moisture out of bearings. Apply grease to exposed threads, cylinder rods and sliding surfaces of components. Oil sickle components to prevent rust.

10. Check for worn or broken components and repair or order replacements from your dealer. Attention to these items right away will save time and effort at beginning of next season.

11. Replace or tighten any missing or loose hardware. See Specifications section for torque charts.
