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:
• 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.
o a hard hat.
o protective shoes with slip resistant
soles.
o protective glasses or goggles.
o heavy gloves.
o wet weather gear.
o respirator or filter mask.
A
B
o 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Form 169242 Revision D
(continued next page)

• 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. Do not allow oil or
grease to accumulate on service platforms,
ladders or controls. Clean machines before
storage.
• Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile
material for cleaning purposes. These
materials may be toxic and/or flammable.
• When storing machinery, cover sharp or
extending components to prevent injury
from accidental contact.
Form 169242 Revision D

RECOMMENDED TORQUES
A. GENERAL
The tables shown below give correct torque
values for various bolts and capscrews.
• Tighten all bolts to the torques specified in
chart unless otherwise noted throughout this
manual.
• Check tightness of bolts periodically, using
bolt torque chart as a guide.
• Replace hardware with the same strength
bolt.
• Torque figures are valid for non-greased or
non-oiled threads and heads unless otherwise
specified. Do not grease or oil bolts or
capscrews unless specified in this manual.
• When using locking elements, increase torque
values by 5%.

STEP 12. INSTALL FRONT
WHEELS
a. If factory stand is being used, proceed as follows,
otherwise proceed to step b:
4. Release pressure so that locks support we ight
of windrower.
b. Remove shipping supports on drive wheel hubs,
and remove wheel lug nuts.
1. Ensure that the three (one at rear, two at
front) lift locks are activated on lift mechanism.
NOTE
Lock is activated when keeper is
vertical, and latch is free to move back
and forth.
2. Pressurize air bag system (100 psi (689 kPa)
air pressure required), and raise windrower to
maximum height [approximately 7 inches (178
mm)] above stand.
3. Verify that all three locks are engaged, before
to proceeding to next step.
NOTE
c. Position wheel against hub so that that air valves
are on outside, and tire tread points forward.
For "Turf” tires (diamond tread), be sure arrow on
sidewall points in forward rotation.
d. Lift wheel on hub with lifting device. Lower lifting
device.
e. Rotate wheel to align holes with studs, and push
wheel onto studs.

STEP 13. INSTALL CASTER
WHEELS
a. Remove the two guide plates from ends of walking
beam.
b. Support shipping frame channel, and remove bolts
attaching shipping frame to walking beam and
mainframe side rail. Remove shipping frame.
NOTE
d. Remove tie bar between the two caster wheels.
e. Remove the two braces from caster wheels and
frame. Retain bolts for attaching caster to walking
beam.
Shipping frame does not need to be
removed if air bag lifting stand is used.
Ensure bolts are removed prior to
moving windrower off stand.
c. Repeat above for opposite shipping frame
channel.

f. Attach a chain to RH caster, and support caster
with lifting device.

UNLOADING AND ASSEMBLY
g. Remove five remaining bolts securing caster to
shipping frame. Retain bolts for attaching caster
to walking beam.
CAUTION
Stand clear when lifting, as caster may
swing.
k. Tighten bolts as follows:
1. Snug up the two bolts underneath beam.
2. Tighten the four back bolts to 330 ft·lbf (447
N·m).
3. Tighten bolts underneath beam to 330 ft·lbf
(447 N·m).
l. Repeat above steps g. to k. for LH ca ster.
m. Re-torque bolts at 5, and 10 hours of operation.
h. Lift caster assembly off shipping frame, and
position at end of walking beam.
i. Insert RH caster extension into walking beam, and
position for desired tread.
j. Install six ¾ in. bolts and hardened washers into
walking beam and caster beam. Use longer bolts
through anti-shimmy bracket.

STEP 14. INSTALL HYDRAULICS
A. M150, M200
a. The hydraulic hoses under the cab may require
proper placement under the existing clip. If
necessary, proceed as follows:
b. Connect hoses as follows, using coloured plastic
cable ties as a guide.
111327 GREEN
1. Locate two hoses 111327 (green ties) in
frame opening, and existing tee fitting (green
tie).
2. Remove caps on green lines and tee, and
make connections. Tighten fittings.
NOTE

2. Position hose 111323 (orange tie) and hose
111324 with tee (white tie), as shown under
the center of the clip, and loosely install two
bolts and nuts. Part numbers are located on
hoses. (If M200, place another hose 1132A
with tee under clip)
3. Position remaining hoses under clip as shown,
and tighten bolts.
Remove caps on tee last to minimize oil
