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:
oa hard hat.
oprotective shoes with slip resistant
soles.
oprotective glasses or goggles.
oheavy gloves.
owet weather gear.
orespirator or filter mask.
ohearing 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.
•Keep young children away from
machinery at all times.
•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.
•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.
•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. 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.

GENERAL
Form 169558 4Revision A
RECOMMENDED TORQUES
A. GENERAL
The tables shown below give correct torque
values for various bolts and capscrews.
•Tighten all bolts to the torques specified in
chart, unless otherwise noted throughout
this manual.
•Check tightness of bolts periodically, using
bolt torque chart as a guide.
•Replace hardware with the same strength
bolt.
•Torque figures are valid for non-greased or
non-oiled threads and heads unless
otherwise specified. Do not grease or oil
bolts or capscrews unless specified in this
manual.
•When using locking elements, increase
torque values by 5%.

surfaces and fitting threads are free of burrs,
nicks, and scratches, or any foreign material.
b. Apply lubricant (typically Petroleum Jelly) to
O-ring and threads. If O-ring is not already
installed, install O-ring. Align the tube or hose
assembly.
c. Ensure that flat face of the mating flange comes
in full contact with O-ring.
d. Thread tube or hose nut until hand-tight. The
nut should turn freely until it is bottomed out.

STEP 5. RE-POSITION CASTER
WHEELS (BOLTED
FRAME)
As an option, the rear casters can be adjusted to
a narrow tread width to allow loading and
shipping without having to remove them.
A narrow tread width also suits smaller
headers by allowing more space to the uncut
crop, and provides more maneuverability around
poles, irrigation inlets, or other obstacles.
A wider tread width is useful in heavy crops
that produce large windrows so that run-over is
reduced.
a. Raise rear of windrower slightly so that most of
the weight is off the casters, using a jack or
other lifting device under the frame where
shown.
NOTE
Lifting device should have a lifting
capacity of at least 5000 lb (2270 kg).
b. Remove six bolts (four on backside, two on
underside) and washers from left and right side
of walking beam.
c. Slide extensions outboard equal amounts, and
align holes at desired location.
NOTE
Illustration shows widest tread width.
IMPORTANT
Caster wheels must be equi-distant
from center of windrower.
d. Position bracket (A), and install bolts. The two
shorter bolts (B) are installed at the back inboard
