hot engine are a fire hazard. Do not allow oil
or grease to accumulate on service platforms,
ladders or controls. Clean machines before
storage.
13. Neveruse gasoline, naptha or any volatile
material for cleaning purposes. These materi-
als may be toxic and/orflammable.
14. When storing machinery cover sharp or
extending components to prevent injury from
accidental contact.

OPERATOR'S STATION
A CAUTION: Learn and practice safe use
of controls before operating.
IMPORTANT: See your Dealer if there are any
instrument malfunctions. Operate windrower only
if all instruments work properly.
Machine Monitors
The gaugesallowthe operator to monitorvarious
machine systems, while the warning lights and
buzzers are provided to alert the operator that
continued operation- will cause serious machine
damage.
PAR KING BRAKE UGI-ff (A) · Both light and
buzzer will be activated when ignition switch Is
turned to ON as a reminder to release brake
before driving windrower. Release of brake de-
ac tivates light and buzzer.
TRANSMISSION OIL PRESSURE UGI-ff (B) •Both
light and buzzer will be activated when ignition
switch is turned ON iftransmission oil pressure is
below 60 psi (415 kPa). Do not drive the
windrower until lightand buzzer gooff. Iflightand
buzzer stay on after engine starts, or if they
activate during operation, shut engine off and
check hydraulic oil level at reservoir. If oil level is
adequate, measure relief pressure. See "Traction
Drive: Hydraulics"inMaintenance/Servicesection.
ENGI NE OIL PRESSURE UGI-ff (C) · Both light
and buzzer will be activated when ignition switch
is turned ON if engine oil pressure is below 7 psi
(50 kPa) for the gasoline engine or below 11 psi
(75 kPa) for the diesel engine. Iflight and buzzer
stay on for morethan a few seconds after engine
starts, or if they activate while engine is running,
shut engine off and check engine oil level.
TACHOMETER (D) -(OPTIONAL) • Indicates
engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) .
ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE (E) · Monitors
thetemperature of theenginecoolant.Withengine
running, temperature gauge should read in the
180• -225·F operating range {82• • 107•C).
Allow engine temperature to rise to this range
before beginning opera ti on. If gauge reaches
approximately 225•F {107•C) a warning buzzer
willsound. Stopengineimmediatelyanddetermine
cause. (See Trouble Shooting section.)
NOTE: If a buzzer sounds when engine temp-
erature Is below 225·F (107•C) and no indicator
light [(A), (B) or (C)] illuminates, check bulbs.

CAUTION : When operating on a road -
way, switch to the ROAD position.
Never use fied lamps or any lights
which might confuse other drivers.
Nways use flashing amber lamps when driving or

TURN SIGNAL SWITCH (C) -When operating
windrower
on a roadway, use turn signals as you
would in a
car or truck.
Turn signals will
work with flashers on or off.
Moving switch
