MACHINE SETUP
Attachment to Tractor
The Lewis Windrower II can be operated on any tractor equipped with a standard
3 – point hitch and with a minimum of two sets of remote hydraulic hook ups.
Figure 1
Attach the Windrower to the tractor's three-point hitch, (See Figure 1) and secure
with the proper attachment pins. Next, attach the drive shaft to the PTO shaft
on the tractor. ( See Figure 2) Slide the drive shaft onto the PTO shaft until the
lock snaps in place. Always try to pull the drive shaft from the PTO after it is in
place, if the drive shaft slides and is not locked in place, repeat the process.
ATTACHMENT POINTS

Figure 2
Connect the Windrower hydraulic lines to the selected remote hydraulic ports
located on the tractor (See figure 2). IMPORTANT: The Lewis Windrower II is
designed to handle a maximum system pressure of 2500 PSI. Excess pressure
should be avoided in order to prevent damaging system components. Tractors
that are capable of supplying higher hydraulic pressure should install a pressure
regulator kit to prevent damage to the hydraulic system.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The ground speed will always vary depending on the particular operation being
performed. The Lewis Windrower II is designed to be operated with the tractor
PTO turning within a range of 500 to 540 RPM. 540 RPM is the most desirable
PTO speed. Place the machine into operation by first engaging the PTO of the
tractor with the tractor engine at a safe idle speed.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS ENGAGE PTO CLUTCH SLOWLY AND SMOOTHLY
AT LOW RPM TO AVOID SUDDEN STARTS AND FAST CLUTCHING THAT
CAN DAMAGE THE DRIVE COMPONENTS.
Never operate the Windrower with anyone near the
machine. Never get off the tractor with the PTO Engaged. Make sure that
the area around the Windrower is clear before operation.
Storage
•Be sure to clean and lubricate the windrower after each use and maintain
all guards and decals. Should any guard or decal be damaged or need
replacing, contact your Lewis Brothers Dealer.
LUBRICATION
CAUTION: Always look for hydraulic leaks with the tractor’s engine
off. Wear hand and eye protection. Use cardboard or wood instead
of your hands to search for a leak’s source.
Grease the following points lightly each 50 hours and before
storage.
1. Cylinder Shaft Bearings
Grease all chains and bearings after each use.
ATTENTION: Be sure to keep drive chain well lubricated and free of
obstructions to insure proper operation.
