• 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.

1.5 Welding 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.

4.1.11 Starting the Engine

DANGER

• Avoid possible injury or death from a runaway machine.

• This machine has safety devices which allow the engine to start only when the ground speed lever is in

PARK, the steering wheel is locked in the PARK position, and the HEADER ENGAGE switch is in the
OFF position. Under no circumstances are these devices to be deliberately rewired or misadjusted so
that the engine can be started with controls out of NEUTRAL.

• Do NOT start engine by shorting across starter or starter relay terminals. If normal starting circuitry is
bypassed, machine will start with drive engaged and move.

• Start engine only from operator’s seat with controls in PARK. NEVER start engine while standing on
ground. NEVER try to start engine with someone under or near machine.

• Before starting engine, be sure there is plenty of ventilation to avoid asphyxiation.

IMPORTANT:

Before starting the windrower, check the fluid level of the following, and add fluid if necessary:

• Engine oil – refer to 4.1.3 Checking and Adding Engine Oil, page 46

• Hydraulic oil – refer to 4.1.4 Checking and Adding Hydraulic Oil, page 48

• Gearbox oil – refer to 4.1.7 Checking Engine Gearbox Lubricant Level and Adding Lubricant, page 50

IMPORTANT:

Do NOT tow machine to start engine. Damage to hydrostatic drives will result.
