1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information on the MacDon Model M100 Self-Propelled Windrower that is designed to cut
and lay in windrows, a wide variety of grain, hay and specialty crops. Windrowing allows starting the harvest
earlier, protects the crop from wind damage, and gives you more flexibility in scheduling combine time.
The power unit (referred to in this manual as the “windrower”), when coupled with one of the specially designed
auger, or draper headers, provides a package which incorporates many features and improvements in design.
This manual must be used in conjunction with your Header Operator's Manual.
CAREFULLY READ ALL THE MATERIAL PROVIDED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOAD, ASSEMBLE, OR
USE THE MACHINE.
Use this manual as your first source of information about the machine. If you follow the instructions given in this
manual, your M100 Windrower will work well for many years. If you require more detailed service information,
check with your dealer.
Use the Table of Contents and the Index to guide you to specific areas. Study the Table of Contents to familiarize
yourself with how the material is organized.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to pass on to new operators or owners. Call your dealer if you
need assistance, information, or additional copies of this manual. A manual storage case is provided in the cab.
NOTE: Right-Hand and Left-Hand designations are determined by the operator’s position, facing the direction of
travel.

2.4 GENERAL SAFETY
CAUTION
The following are general farm safety
precautions that should be part of your
operating procedure for all types of
machinery.
• 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.
SAFETY
•Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of
emergencies.
•Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine.
Be sure the extinguisher is properly
maintained and be familiar with its proper
use.
•Keep young children away from
machinery at all times.
•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.
•Wear close-fitting
clothing and cover
long hair. Never wear
dangling items such
as scarves or
bracelets.
•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.
A
B
16930410 Rev. C
SAFETY
•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.
•Use only service and repair parts made
or approved by the equipment
manufacturer. Substituted parts may not
meet strength, design, or safety
requirements.
•Do not modify the machine. Unauthorized
modifications may impair the function
and/or safety and affect machine life.
•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.
•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.
• Use adequate light for the job at hand.
• 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.

16930422 Rev. C
OPERATOR’S STATION
5.10.4 A/C Compressor Protection
The compressor is protected from excessively
low and high pressures by two switches that
shut down the compressor to prevent damage to
the system.
• The LOW pressure switch opens when the
pressure falls to 5.1-10.9 psi (35-75 kPa)
and shuts down the compressor. When the
pressure rises to 17.6-26.4 psi (121-182
kPa), the switch closes and allows the
compressor to run.
• The HIGH pressure switch opens and stops
the compressor when the pressure rises to
315-335 psi (2172-2310 kPa). When the
pressure falls to 220-280 psi (1517-1930
kPa), the switch closes and allows the
compressor to run.
• The Windrower Control Module (WCM)
gives a warning when it senses rapid
pressure changes that cause the
compressor to rapidly engage and
disengage.
If the air conditioning system is shut down by
either switch, locate the source of the problem
and correct it before operating the system.
The other interior light (B) is located on the
headliner switch panel and the push-on, push-off
button is located on the light.

Programming
The monitoring system requires programming
for each header and the header must be attached to the windrower. Programming the
system may be accomplished with or without the
engine running. If the engine is running, the
transmission must be in neutral. If the engine is
not running, the ignition must be on. Exit
programming mode at any time by pressing the
PROGRAM switch or by turning off the ignition.
The system only needs to be programmed once
for each header. The operator may make
changes later on to a particular setting to suit
windrowing conditions or modifications to the
machine. Most functions have been preprogrammed at the factory but can be changed
by the operator if required.
Proceed as follows to program the CDM:

WINDROWER OPERATION
6.3.6 Driving the Windrower
WARNING
Before starting engine, securely fasten your
seat belt and ensure trainer’s seat belt is
fastened if occupied. The seat belt can help
insure your safety if it is used and
maintained.
IMPORTANT
With the engine running, moving the
ground speed lever out of N-DETENT
unlocks steering. Any movement of
steering wheel will then cause the
machine to move, even if the ground
speed lever has not been moved forward
or rearward from the neutral position.
Hydrostatic steering is more sensitive than
mechanical steering.
WARNING
•Avoid driving the machine with header
removed. Removing header decreases
the weight on drive wheels, reducing
steering control.
•If necessary to drive machine with
header removed, use transmission "field
speed" range, do not exceed 1500 rpm
engine speed and avoid loose gravel and
slopes.
•Never use windrower as a towing vehicle
when header is removed, except as
instructed in Section 6.3.8.2 Towing
Header with Windrower. There is
insufficient weight on the drive wheels to
provide steering control.
•Because of windrower shape
characteristics, a roll-over protected
(ROPS) cab is not required. If operating
with header removed, be aware that the
cab structure will not withstand a rollover.
Steering is opposite to normal when
driving in reverse.
The brakes are only on when the GSL is
in N-DETENT and the steering wheel is
centered and locked.
DANGER
•Never move ground speed lever or
steering wheel until you are sure all
bystanders have cleared the area.
•Be sure area is clear before making
turns, ends of header travel in a large
arc.
•Check the operation of all controls in a
safe, clear area before starting work. Be
sure you know the capacity and
operating characteristics of this machine.
CAUTION
HYDROSTATIC STEERING
The machine is steered hydrostatically, that
is, turning the steering wheel varies the
hydraulic flow to one drive wheel relative to
the other drive wheel. The reaction of this
type of steering is different than
conventional steering mechanisms.
169304 53Rev. C
• Do not allow riders in or on the machine.

WINDROWER OPERATION
6.3.8.3 Towing the Windrower
In emergency situations, for example, towing out
of a field or into a shop, windrower may be
towed without a trailer, providing the following
precautions are followed:
WARNING
A proper towing apparatus is critical to safe
towing. Use the following guidelines:
•Do not attach directly from hitch to
walking beam. Slope of tow bar will not
provide proper transfer of braking force
to windrower, causing loss of control.
•For proper steering, towing apparatus
should be attached to both left and right
hand frame members and should attach
to tow bar at same height as towing
vehicle hitch.
•Towing apparatus should be removed for
field operation, to avoid interference with
windrow.
IMPORTANT
Failure to disengage final drives before
towing will result in serious transmission
damage.
IMPORTANT
Do not exceed 16 mph (26 km/h) when
towing windrower. Do not use this towing
method for normal transporting of
windrower. Even with final drives
disengaged, rolling speeds of more than
16 mph (26 km/h) will cause final drive
gears to run at excessive speeds, possibly
destroying the unit.
WARNING
With final drives disengaged, the windrower
may roll on a sloped surface. Before
disengaging final drives, attach windrower to
towing vehicle. After towing, engage drives
and ensure GSL is in N-DETENT before
detaching from towing vehicle.
169304 67Rev. C
6.3.8.4 Final Drives
OPERATOR’S STATION
d. Bring to full charge and store in a cool, dry place
not subject to freezing.
Disengage and engage final drives as follows:
a. Remove the two hex bolts (A) at center of drive
wheel.
b. Remove cap (B) and flip over so that dished side
faces in. The cap depresses a pin which
disengages the gearbox.
c. After towing, reverse cover (A) to re-engage final
B
A
drives. Be sure plunger at center of wheel pops
out to engage drive.
6.3.9 Storage
NOTE
For short term storage (3-4 weeks), it is
recommended to shut off the battery
disconnect switch to reduce/minimize
battery drain. See 7.10.1.5 Battery
Disconnect Switch.
At the end of each operating season:
a. Clean the windrower thoroughly.
WARNING
Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile
material for cleaning purposes. These
materials are toxic and/can be flammable.
b. Store windrower in a dry protected place.
CAUTION
Never operate engine in a closed building.
Proper ventilation is required to avoid
exhaust gas hazards.
CAUTION
Remember when working around storage
batteries that all of the exposed metal parts
are "live". Never lay a metal object across
the terminals because a spark and short
circuit will result.
e. If stored outside, always cover windrower with a
waterproof tarpaulin or other protective material.
This will protect the switches, instruments, tires,
etc. from inclement weather.
f. If no cover is available; seal air cleaner intake
and exhaust pipe with plastic bags and/or
waterproof tape.
g. If possible, block up windrower to take weight off
tires. If it is not possible to block up the machine,
increase tire pressure by 25% for storage.
Adjust to recommended operating pressure
before next use.
h. Repaint all worn or chipped painted surfaces to
prevent rust.
i. Lubricate the windrower thoroughly, leaving
excess grease on fittings to keep moisture out of
bearings. Apply grease to exposed threads and
sliding surfaces of components.
j. Check for worn components and repair. Tighten
loose hardware and replace any missing
hardware. See Specifications section for torque
charts.
k. Check for broken components and order
replacements from your dealer. Attention to
these items right away will save time and effort
at beginning of next season.
l. Add approved rust inhibitor to the engine oil in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Run engine to operating temperature to mix
inhibitor with oil, unless otherwise specified.
m. To prevent condensation, fill hydraulic oil
reservoir to filler neck with approved hydraulic
system oil. Refer to Section 7.11.1 Hydraulic Oil.
n. Test engine coolant anti-freeze concentration to
ensure it is sufficient to protect engine against
lowest expected temperature.
c. Remove the battery. Refer to Section 7.10.1.5.

169304 69Rev. C
HEADER OPERATION
6.4.2 Header Flotation
Float is intended for cutting crops that require
the cutterbar to be in contact with the ground.
Optimum float is for the cutterbar to maintain
contact with the ground with minimum bouncing
and scooping or pushing soil.
The machine will perform best with minimum
extra weight on the header.
IMPORTANT
To avoid frequent breakage of sickle
components, scooping soil, or soil build-up
at cutterbar in wet conditions, header float
should be set as light as possible without
causing excessive bouncing. When float
setting is light, it may be necessary to use
a slower ground speed to avoid excessive
bouncing and leaving a ragged cut.
IMPORTANT
The stabilizer wheels are designed to
minimize bouncing at the header ends and
not “float” the header. Refer to the D60
Harvest Header / FD70 FlexDraper
Operator’s Manual for adjustment details.
6.4.2.1 Float Operating Guidelines
6.4.2.2 Float Adjustment
The float adjustment uses drawbolts to change
the tension on the springs in the lift linkages.
a. Check header float as follows:
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared
the area.
1. Start the engine.

HEADER OPERATION
6.4.4 Header Angle
Header angle is defined as the angle between
the ground and the drapers/cutterbar and is
adjustable to accommodate crop conditions
and/or soil type.
Refer to the appropriate operator’s manual for
range of adjustment and recommended settings
for your particular header.
IMPORTANT
Changing header angle will affect flotation
slightly because it has the effect of making
the header lighter or heavier.
IMPORTANT
To prevent excessive guard breakage
when cutting on the ground and when
conditions are not suited to heavier float
(e.g. rocky or wet), do not use the tilt
control on the go. Instead, use the header
height switch.

6.5.8 Knife Speed
The ideal cutting speed of the knife should be
such that a clean cut is achieved. Crop types
and conditions usually influence the knife and
forward speeds. Refer to the header operator’s
manual for more information on knife speeds.
The knife speed is manually set by making
adjustments to the knife drive pump and has
been pre-set at the factory. For optimum
performance, adjust the knife speed according
to the header being used. See the following
table.
If the machine is equipped with the appropriate
sensor and optional module, the CDM will notify
the operator when the knife speed reaches an
overload pre-set (usually 75% of knife speed).
The pre-set can be changed on the CDM. Refer
to Section 5.18.5 CDM Programming.
NOTE
The knife speed should stay within the
range specified for each header.
RPM = speed of wobble box pulley.
SPM = strokes per minute of knife (RPM x 2).

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
7 MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
The following instructions are provided to assist
the operator in the use of the M100 Windrower.
Detailed maintenance, service, and parts
information are contained in the Service
Instruction Manual and Parts Catalog that are
available from your dealer.
7.1 PREPARATION FOR SERVICING
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, before servicing
adapter/header or opening drive covers:
•Fully lower the header. If necessary to
service in the raised position, always
engage lift cylinder stops.
• Disengage drives.
• Stop engine and remove key.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
7.1.1 Welding Precautions
IMPORTANT
High currents and voltage spikes
associated with welding can cause
damage to electronic components. Before
welding on any part of the windrower or an
attached header, disconnect all electronic
module harness connections as well as
the battery cables. These electronic
modules include;
• Engine Control Module (ECM)
• Cab Display Module (CDM)
7.2 RECOMMENDED SAFETY
PROCEDURES
•Wear close-fitting
clothing and cover
long hair. Never wear
dangling items such
as scarves or
bracelets.
•Wear protective shoes with slip-resistant
soles, a hard hat, protective glasses or
goggles and heavy gloves.
•If more than one person is servicing the
machine at the same time, be aware that
rotating a driveline or other mechanically
driven
component
by hand (for
example,
accessing a
lube fitting)
will cause drive components in other
areas (belts, pulleys, and sickle) to move.
Stay clear of driven components at all
times.
•Be prepared if an
accident should
occur. Know
where the first aid
kit and fire
extinguishers are
located and how
to use them.
•Keep the service
area 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.
• Use adequate light for the job at hand.
• Replace all shields removed or opened
for service.
•Park on a level surface when possible.
Block wheels securely.
•Use only service and repair parts made
or approved by the equipment
manufacturer. Substituted parts may not
meet strength, design or safety
requirements.
•Keep the machine clean. Never use
gasoline, naphtha or any volatile material
for cleaning purposes. These materials
may be toxic and/or flammable.
