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.
•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.
•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.
A B

Form 169018 4 Revision C
•Do not modify the machine. Unauthorized
modifications may impair the function
and/or safety and affect machine life.
•Stop engine, and remove keyfrom 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 accumulateon serviceplatforms,
ladders or controls. Clean machines before
storage.
•Never use gasoline, naphthaor 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.

Form 169018 5Revision C
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-oiledthreads andheads unlessotherwise
specified. Do not grease or oil bolts or
capscrews unless specified in this manual.
•Whenusinglockingelements,increase torque
values by 5%.

UNLOADING AND ASSEMBLY
Form 169018 8 Revision C
STEP 1. UNLOAD WINDROWER
CAUTION
To avoid injury to bystanders from being
struck by machinery, do not allow persons to
stand in unloading area.
A. TWO FORKLIFT METHOD
CAUTION
Equipment used for unloading must meet or
exceed the requirements specified below.
Using inadequate equipment may result in
chain breakage, vehicle tipping or machine
damage.
LIFTING VEHICLE
Minimum Lifting Capacity * 5500 lb (2500 kg)
Minimum Fork Length 78 in. (1981 mm)
* At 48 inches (1220 mm) from back end of forks.
IMPORTANT
Forklifts are normally rated for a load
located 24 inches (610 mm) ahead of
back end of the forks.
To obtain the forklift capacity at 48
inches (1220 mm), check with your
forklift distributor.
a. Move trailer into position, and block trailer wheels.
b. Set forklift tines to the widest possible setting.
c. Position one forklift on either side of trailer and
position forks under windrower frame.
NOTE
Windrower center of gravity is
approximately 55 inches (1397 mm)
rearward of drive wheel center.
d. Lift with both forklifts simultaneously until
windrower is clear of trailer bed.
WARNING
Be sure forks are secure before moving trailer
away from load. Stand clear when lifting.
e. Drive the truck slowly forward until trailer bed is
clear of windrower.
f. Lower unit slowly and simultaneously with both
forkliftsto theground. Place woodenblocksunder
front shipping stands, if ground is soft.
g. Back off forklifts.
h. Check windrower for shippingdamage, andcheck
shipment for missing parts.
