SAFETY
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.
PROTECT YOURSELF
PROTECT AGAINST NOISE
BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES

SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY
6. Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long
hair. Never wear dangling items such as
scarves or bracelets.
7. Keep hands, feet, clothing and hair away
from moving parts. Never attempt to clear
obstructions or objects from a machine
while the engine is running.
8. Keep all shields in place. Never alter or
remove safety equipment. Make sure
driveline guards can rotate independently of
the shaft and can telescope freely.
9. Use only service and repair parts made or
approved by the equipment manufacturer.
Substituted parts may not meet strength,
design, or safety requirements.
10. Do not modify the machine. Unauthorized
modifications may impair the function
and/or safety and affect machine life.
11. Stop engine and remove key from ignition
before leaving operator's seat for any
reason. A child or even a pet could engage
an idling machine.
12. Keep the area used for servicing machinery
clean and dry. Wet or oily floors are
slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when
working with electrical equipment. Be sure
all electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded.
13. Use adequate light for the job at hand.
14. Keep machinery clean. Straw and chaff on a
hot engine are a fire hazard. Do not allow oil
or grease to accumulate on service
platforms, ladders or controls. Clean
machines before storage.
15. Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile
material for cleaning purposes. These
materials may be toxic and/or flammable.
16. When storing machinery, cover sharp or
extending components to prevent injury
from accidental contact.

torque.
Tighten 1 inch slotted nut (G) to 630 ft.lbs.
(850 Nm) torque. Further tighten nut (G) to
align slot with hole and install cotter pin.
Back off nuts (J) and turn in four bolts (K) until
snug against tractor drawbar. Tighten nuts (J)
to secure the position.
5. Use proper PTO speed (540 or 1000)
depending on windrower options.
6. Tractor must be equipped with a seven terminal
outlet (H) to supply power to the windrower's
warning lights.

CAUTION: When inflating tires, use
a clip-on chuck and extension hose
long enough to allow you to stand
to one side and not facing the tire.
2. Check for proper assembly and adjustment and
make sure all bolts are tightened securely.
3. Check the tension of the reel drive belt and the
sickle drive belt. Adjust if required. See
Maintenance/Service section.
4. Lubricate the machine completely and check
the oil level of the sickle drive box. See
Maintenance/Service section.
5. Check hydraulic oil level at dipstick. Add oil if
required. See Maintenance/Service section.
6. Install quick coupler tips (matching the tractor
to be used) on the remote hydraulic hoses.

OPERATION
ATTACHING WINDROWER TO TRACTOR
CAUTION: Shut off tractor, engage
parking brake and remove key before
working around hitch.
CAUTION: Never attach windrower to
tractor rear axle or three-point hitch
arms.
1. Using the jack, raise windrower tongue to clear
the hitch pin in drawbar extension. Position
tractor to align ball joint on tongue with hitch pin
and lower tongue. Secure with lock pin (A).
2. Route hitch chain from windrower through
chain support (B), around drawbar support and
lock hook (C) on chain.
IMPORTANT: Adjust chain length to remove all
slack except what is needed for turns.
3. Remove weight from jack. Pull pin securing
jack and move to storage position (D) on top of
frame tube.
4. NOTE: Pump attachment is easier if hitch is
angled to tractor, not straight on.
Slide the hydraulic pump assembly onto the
PTO shaft of the tractor. Adjust the torque arm
(E) so that it rests on the right side of the
drawbar.
IMPORTANT:
• Pump outlets must remain vertical. Loop the
torque arm chain (F) around the drawbar and
lock the chain in keyhole slot in torque arm
mounting plate.
• To prevent hose damage, route hoses through
guide (G) to provide proper hose arc as shown.
• Full engagement of PTO shaft into pump is
required to prevent damage to pump spline.
Pump should slide 2
½" (64 mm) onto shaft.
• The pump must never be keyed or fastened to
the PTO shaft. If the drawbar pin should
become disengaged, the pump must be free to
slip off.

CAUTION:
1. Clear the area of other persons, pets etc.
Keep children away from machinery. Walk
around the windrower to be sure no one is
under, on or close to it.
2. Remove foreign objects from the machine
and surrounding area.
3. Wear close fitting clothing and protective
shoes with slip resistant soles.
As well, carry with you any protective
clothing and personal safety devices that
COULD be necessary through the day. Don't

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. If cutting ditch banks, use extreme caution. If the windrower hits an obstruction, the front of the
tractor will usually swerve towards the ditch.
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

OPERATION
STEERING
Steering the windrower is controlled by the tractor
remote hydraulic system. This steering system
allows the windrower to follow directly behind the
tractor, make a full cut to either side, or any
position in between.
NOTE: To allow hitch to swing, latch rod must be
in field position (D). If rod is in transport position
(A), pivot rod retainer (C) up to allow moving rod
from (A) to (D).
NOTE: Hoses should be connected so that moving
tractor control lever (E) forward steers the machine
to the right and moving the lever back steers the
windrower left.
The control is operated momentarily for steering
and must be returned to OFF or NEUTRAL
position as soon as the windrower reaches the
MOVE LATCH ROD TO FIELD POSITION (D)
desired path of travel.
The center pivot provides the operator the
opportunity to move the windrower into field
position easily, allows right angle turns in either
direction, steering around objects on both sides
and straight line field cutting on either side of the
tractor.
NOTE: Before steering the windrower, the header
should be raised enough that the skid shoes clear
the ground.
