Rotary Disc 16-Foot Self-Propelled Windrower Header

Published: December, 2013

Introduction

This instructional manual describes the operating and maintenance procedures for the MacDon Model R85 Rotary Disc 16-foot Self-Propelled Windrower Header.

Your new MacDon rotary header is designed to cut, condition, and lay a wide variety of grasses and hay crops in windrows.

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 header will work well for many years.

A parts catalog is also supplied with your new header. If you require more detailed service information, a technical manual is available from 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.

Store this operator’s manual and the parts catalog in the manual storage case in the windrower cab.

1.2Signal Words

Three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, are used to alert you to hazardous situations. The appropriate signal word for each situation has been selected using the following guidelines:

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death, or serious injury.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death, or serious injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor, or moderate injury. It may be used to alert against unsafe practices.

1.3General 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 footwear with slip resistant soles

–Protective glasses or goggles

–Heavy gloves

–Wet weather gear

–A respirator or filter mask

–Hearing protection

Be aware that exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wearing suitable hearing protection devices such as ear muffs or ear plugs. These will help protect against objectionable or loud noises.

•Provide a first aid kit for use in case of emergencies.

•Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be sure the fire extinguisher is properly maintained. Be familiar with its proper use.

• Keep young children away from the 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.

SAFETY

•Wear close fitting clothing and cover long hair. Never wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.

•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.

•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.

•Do NOT modify the machine. Non-authorized modifications may impair machine function and/or safety. It may also shorten the machine’s 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.

Figure 1.5

•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.

•Keep work area well lit.

•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.

•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.

1.4Maintenance Safety

To ensure your safety while maintaining the machine:

•Review the operator’s manual and all safety items before operation and/or maintenance of the machine.

•Place all controls in Neutral, stop the engine, set the park brake, remove the ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, and/or repairing.

•Follow good shop practices:

– Keep service area clean and dry.

– Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.

– Use adequate light for the job at hand.

•Relieve pressure from hydraulic circuits before servicing and/or disconnecting the machine.

•Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make sure all components are tight and that steel lines, hoses, and couplings are in good condition.

•Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from all moving and/or rotating parts.

•Clear the area of bystanders especially children when carrying out any maintenance and repairs or when making any adjustments.

•Install transport lock or place safety stands under the frame before working under the header.

•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 knife) to move. Stay clear of driven components at all times.

•Wear protective gear when working on the machine.

•Wear heavy gloves when working on knife components.

1.5Hydraulic Safety

•Always place all hydraulic controls in Neutral before dismounting.

•Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are kept in good condition and clean.

•Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses and steel lines.

•Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines, fittings, or hoses by using tapes, clamps, cements, or welding. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure. Such makeshift repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe condition.

•Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use a piece of cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak.

•If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin.

•Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make sure all components are tight and that steel lines, hoses, and couplings are in good condition.

1.6Tire Safety

•Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion that may result in serious injury or death.

Figure 1.14: Lower All Safety Stops

•Do NOT attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper training and equipment.

Figure 1.15: Safely Filling a Tire With Air

•Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perform required tire maintenance.

1.7Safety Signs

• Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.

• Replace safety signs that are missing or become illegible.

•If original parts on which a safety sign was installed are replaced, be sure the repair part also bears the current safety sign.

• Safety signs are available from your Dealer Parts Department.

1.7.1Installing Safety Decals

To install a safety decal, follow these steps:

1.Be sure the installation area is clean and dry.

2.Decide on the exact location before you remove the decal backing paper.

3.Remove the smaller portion of the split backing paper.

4.Place the sign in position and slowly peel back the remaining paper, smoothing the sign as it is applied.

5.Small air pockets can be smoothed out or pricked with a pin.

•Keep riders off the machine.

•Keep all shields in place and stay clear of moving parts.

•Disengage header drive, put transmission in neutral, and wait for all movement to stop before leaving operator’s position.

•Stop the engine and remove the key from ignition before servicing, adjusting, lubricating, cleaning, or unplugging machine.

•Engage locks to prevent lowering of header or reel before servicing in the raised position.

•Use slow moving vehicle emblem and flashing warning lights when operating on roadways unless prohibited by law.
