MacDon M100 2009 User manual

Form 169304 1Model Year - 2009
1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information on the MacDon Model M100 Self-Propelled Windrower that is designed to cut
and lay in windrows, a wide variety of grain, hay and specialty crops. Windrowing allows starting the harvest
earlier, protects the crop from wind damage, and gives you more flexibility in scheduling combine time.
The power unit (referred to in this manual as the “tractor”), when coupled with one of the specially designed
auger, or draper headers, provides a package which incorporates many features and improvements in design.
This manual must be used in conjunction with your Header Operator's Manual.
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 M100 Windrower will work well for many years. If you require more detailed service information,
check with 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. A manual storage case is provided in the cab.
NOTE: Right-Hand and Left-Hand designations are determined by the operator’s position, facing the direction of
travel.
RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBERS IN THE SPACES BELOW.

2 SAFETY
2.1 SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
This safety alert symbol indicates important
safety messages in this manual and on safety
signs on the machine.
This symbol means:
ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Carefully read and follow the safety message
accompanying this symbol.
WHY IS SAFETY IMPORTANT TO YOU?
ACCIDENTS DISABLE AND KILL
ACCIDENTS COST
ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED
2.2 SIGNAL WORDS
Note the use of the signal words DANGER,
WARNING, and CAUTION with safety
messages. The appropriate signal word for each
message 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 is also used to alert against
unsafe practices.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
that, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury. It is also used as a reminder
of good safety practices.
2.3 SAFETY SIGNS
2.3.1 Safety Sign Installation
Refer to the illustration on this and following
pages and proceed as follows:
a. Be sure the installation area is clean and dry.

the decal backing paper.
c. Remove the smaller portion of the split backing
paper.
d. Place the sign in position and slowly peel back
the remaining paper, smoothing the sign as it is
applied.
e. Small air pockets can be smoothed out or
pricked with a pin.
2.3.2 Safety Sign Locations
The safety signs (decals) appear on the
windrower tractor at the locations approximately
as shown.
a. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.
b. Replace safety signs that are missing or become
illegible.
c. If original parts on which a safety sign was
installed are replaced, be sure the repair part
also bears the current safety sign.
d. Safety signs are available from your Dealer
Parts Department.

2.4 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:
•a hard hat.
•protective shoes with slip
resistant soles.
•protective glasses or goggles.
•heavy gloves.
•wet weather gear.
•respirator or filter mask.
•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.
A
B
•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.
•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.

SAFETY
Form 169304 11 Model Year - 2009
•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.
•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. 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.
