WARNING
• Service tires safely.
• A tire can explode during inflation which could cause
serious injury or death.
• Follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a
wheel or rim. Failure to do so can produce an
explosion that may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
• Do NOT stand over tire. Use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose.

• Do NOT exceed maximum inflation pressure indicated
on tire label.
• Replace tires that have defects.
• Replace wheel rims that are cracked, worn, or
severely rusted.
• Never weld a wheel rim.
• Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire.
• Make sure tire is correctly seated before inflating to
operating pressure.
• If tire is not correctly positioned on rim or is overinflated, tire bead can loosen on one side causing air
to escape at high speed and with great force. An air leak of this nature can thrust tire in any direction
endangering anyone in area.
• Make sure all air is removed from tire before removing tire from rim.

WARNING
• Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries, as a
gas given off by electrolyte is explosive.
• Ventilate when charging in enclosed space.
WARNING
• Wear safety glasses when working near batteries.
• Do NOT tip batteries more than 45° to avoid
electrolyte loss.
Figure 1.9: Safety around Batteries
• Battery electrolyte causes severe burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
• Electrolyte splashed into eyes is extremely
dangerous. Should this occur, force eye open, and
flood with cool, clean water for 5 minutes. Call a
doctor immediately.
• If electrolyte is spilled or splashed on clothing or
body, neutralize it immediately with a solution of
baking soda and water, then rinse with clear water.
WARNING
• To avoid injury from spark or short circuit, disconnect
battery ground cable before servicing any part of
electrical system.
• Do NOT operate engine with alternator or battery
disconnected. With battery cables disconnected and
engine running, a high voltage can be built up if

1.5Welding Precaution
WARNING
It is very important that correct procedures be followed when welding anything connected to the
windrower. If procedures are not followed, it could result in severe damage to sensitive, expensive
electronics. Even if complete failure of a module doesn’t happen immediately, it is impossible to know
what effect high current could have with regard to future malfunctions or shorter lifespan.
Due to the number of connectors, components to be welded should be removed from the windrower whenever
possible rather than welded in place. When work needs to be completed on a header, disconnect the header
completely from the windrower before welding. These same guidelines apply to plasma cutting, or any other high
current electrical operation performed on the machine.
The following items need to be disconnected:
•Negative battery terminals (A) (two connections)
IMPORTANT:
Always disconnect the battery terminals first, and
reconnect them last.
•Master controller (A)
Four connectors: P231, P232, P233, and P234
Location: Behind cab, near header lift/fan manifold
To disconnect the connectors, press the two outer tabs,
and pull the connector away from master controller.
IMPORTANT:
When reconnecting these connectors, double-check that
the connectors are fully seated into the master controller,
and that the two locking tabs on each end of all four
connectors have popped outward. If the tabs are not
popped outward, the connector is not fully seated.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT power up or operate the windrower until these
connectors are locked into place.
