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 (8) protects
against objectionable
or loud noi~;es,
2. Provide a first·aid kit for use in case of
emergencies.
3. Keep afire extinguisher on the machine. Be
sure the extinguisher is properly
maintained and be familiar with its proper
use.
4. Keep young children away from machinery
at all times,
5. Be aware that accidents often haplpen when

7. Keep hands, feet, clothing and hanr away
from moving parts. Never attempt to clear
obstructions or objects from a machine
while the engine is running.
8. Keep all shields in place. Never alter or
remove safety equipment. Makl~ sure
driveline guards can rotate independently
of the shaft and can telescope freely.
9. Use only service and repair parts made or
approved by the equipment manufacturer.
Substituted parts may not meet strength,
design, or safety requirements.
10. 00 not modify the machine. Unautihorized
modifications may impair the fllJnction
andlor safety and affect machine life.
11.
Stop engine and remove key from Hgnition
before leaving operator's seat for any
reason. A
child or even a pet could engage
an
idling machine.
12. Keep
the area used for servicing machinery
clean and dry. Wet
or oily floors are
slippery. Wetspots can be dangerours when
working with electrical equipment. IBe sure
all electrical outlets and
tools are plroperly
grounded.
13. Use adequate
lightfor the job at hand.
14. Keep machinery clean. Straw and c;
haff on
a
hot engine are a fire hazard. Do nlJt allow
oil or grease to accumulate on service

FOLLOW SAFETY RULES

OPERATION
PREPARING THE TRACTOR
1. Select proper tractor size . The min i mum
power required is : 12 ft . - 60 hp (4~5 kw)
14 ft . - 75 hp (56 kw)
16 ft. - 90 hp (613 kw)
Also, minimum hydraulics required a.re 1750
psi (12000 kPa) pressure with doublE~ acting.
dua l remote capabi lity .
2. Adjust tractor drawbar to meet ASAE
Standard specifications as listed below. An
improperly located drawbar may affect header
flotation
and guard ang l e.
(Al 14 in . (356 mm) for 540 rpm .
16 in. (406 mm) for 1000 rpm .
(8) 6 to 12 in. (152 to 305 mm) with 8 in .
(203 mm) recommended.
(e) 13
to 17 in . (330 to 432 mm) from ground
with
16 in. (406 mm) recommended.
3. Secure the drawbar so the hitch pi n hole is
directly be low the driveline.
NOTE: If the tractor has a three point hitch,
raise the lower links
as high as po.ssible, to
prevent damage.
4. Attach the drawbar extension (0) to the
tractor drawbar.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the
pump and hose assembly, do not ope!rate the
machine without the drawbar extensi:
on. Use
washers (E) as required depencling on
drawbar thickness.
Tighten 5/8 nut (F)
to 160 ft.lbs. (215 N 'm)
torque.
Tighten 1 inch stotted nut
(G) to 630 tUbs.
(850 N'm) torque. Further tighten nut (G)
to
align slot with hole and install cotter pin.
Back off nuts (J)
and tum in four bolts (K)
until snug against tractor drawbar. Tighten
nuts (J) to secure the position.
5. U
se proper PTO speed (540 0;(' 1000)
depending on windrower options.
6. Tractor must
be equipped with ~I seven
terminal outlet (H) to supply power to the
wind rower's warning lights.

1. Check the ti res and in flate if Inecessary .
Recommended pressure is 30 psi (207 kPa) .
CAUTION: When inflatin!:lt tires, use
a clip~n chuck and extension hose
long enough to allow yOIU to stand

4. Lubricate the machine completely and check
the oil l evel of the sickle driv e box . See
Maintenance/Serv ice section .
5. Check hydraulic oil level at dipsticl~ . Add o il if
requir
ed . See Maint enance/ServiCE~ secti on .
6. Install quick coupler tips (ma tching the tractor
to be used) on the remote hydraulic hoses.

before working around hit<:h .
CAUTION: Never attach windrower
to tractor rear axle or thme-point
hitch arms.
1. Usin g the jack, ra ise windrower tonguH to clear
the hitch pin in drawbar extension. Position
tractor to align balljeint on tongue with hitch pin
and lower tongue . Secure with lock pin (A) .
2. Route hitch chain from wind rower through
chain support (6), around drawbar support and
lock hook (C) on chain.
IMPORTANT: Adjust chain length to remove all
slack except what is needed for turns"
3. Remove weight
from jack. Pull pin securi ng
jack and m ove to sto rage position (D) I:ln top of

4. NOTE: Pump attachment is easier if hitch is
angled to tr actor, not straig ht on .
Slide the hydraulic pump assembly o nto the
PTO shaft of the t rac tor .Adjust the torque arm
(E) so t ha t it rests on the right si dl3 of the
drawbar.
IMPORTANT:
• Pump outlets
mu st remain vertical. l.oop th e
torque arm
cha in ( F) around the drawbar and
lock the chain in keyhole slot in torque arm
mounting pl ate .
• To prevent hose damage , route hoses thru
guide (G) to prov i de proper hose arc a$ shown .
• Full engagement of PTO shaft into pump is
required to prevent damage to pump spline.
Pump should slide 2 %" (64 mm) ontci shaft.
• Th e pump must never be keyed or fastened to
the PTO shaft. If the drawbar pin should
become disengaged, the pump must be free to
slip off.

5. Connect remote hydraulic hoses as follows :
a. Connect the two tongue swing hoses (H) so
that when the tractor contro l is moved
forward, the swing cylinder wil;1 extend,
moving the wind · rower to the right. When the
tractor control handle is moved back , the
swing cylinder will retract, moving the
windrower to the left.
b. Connect the two lift cyl i nder hoses (J) so that
when the tractor control is moved back, the
lift cylinder will extend, raising the header.
When the tractor control is moved forward,
the lift cylinder will retract, lowering the
header.
6. Connect the windrower wiring harness plug
(K) to outlet on tractor.
DETACHING WINDROWER FROM TRACTOR
A CAUTION: To prevent clccidental
movement of tractor, shut off
engine, engage parking blrake, and
remove key.
To maintain stability, always hlwer the
machine completely. Blockwindrowerwheels
before detaching from tractor.
Park machine on flat level surface.
Move remotecylindercontrol valve lIever back
and forth to relieve stored hydraulic pressure.
1. Pull pin securi ng jack and move to working
positi on (A) at front of tongue.
2. Lower jack to take we ight off tractm drawbar.
3. Unlock torque arm chain from keyh ole slot in
torque arm mounting plate. Remove hydraulic
pump assembly and store at (8).
4. Di sconnect hydraulic hoses andi electrical
hamess. Store with ends off ground.
5. Remove hitch pin lock (C) and un hook cha in

after 10 hours operation and every 1(10 hours
thereafter. Torque to 200 ft.lbs. (270 N·m),
starting with the side mounting bolts.
7. Check reel drive chain (0) , auger drive chain
(E) and roll drive chain (F) after jlO hours
operation for proper tensi
on and lu bricati on .
See Maintenance
/S ervice section.
6. Change wobble box lubricant after
~50 hours
operation and every 1000 hours (or 3 years)
thereafter. See Maintenance1Service section.
