Whole Body and Hand-Arm Vibration Levels
The weighted root mean square acceleration, to which the whole body is subjected, ranges from 0.57 to 1.06 m/s2
as measured on a representative machine during typical operations and analyzed in accordance with ISO 5008.
During the same operations, the weighted root means square hand-arm vibration was less than 1.45 m/s2when
analyzed in accordance with ISO 5349. These acceleration values depend on the roughness of the ground, the
speeds at which the windrower is operated, the operator's experience, weight, and driving habits.
Noise Levels
The A-weighted sound pressure levels inside the operator's station ranged from 70.1 to 73.1 dB(A) as measured
on several representative machines in accordance with ISO 5131. The sound pressure level depends upon the
engine speed and load, field and crop conditions, and the type of platform used.

Introduction
This manual contains information on the MacDon M155 Self-Propelled Windrower which, when coupled with one
of MacDon’s auger, rotary, or draper headers, provides a package designed to cut and lay in windrows a variety of
grain, hay, and specialty crops.
The M155 Windrower is Dual Direction®, meaning that the windrower can be driven in the cab-forward or the
engine-forward modes. Right and left designations are therefore determined by the operator’s position, facing the
direction of travel. This manual uses the terms “right cab-forward”, “left cab-forward”, “right engine-forward”, and
“left engine-forward” when referencing specific locations on the machine.
Use this manual as your first source of information about the machine. 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.
If you follow the instructions given here, your M155 Windrower will work well for many years.
Use this manual in conjunction with your header operator's manual.
A manual storage case is provided in the cab. 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.
CAREFULLY READ ALL THE MATERIAL PROVIDED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE MACHINE.
NOTE: Keep your MacDon publications up-to-date. The most current version can be downloaded from our website
www.macdon.com or from our Dealer-only site (https://portal.macdon.com) (login required).
NOTE:
Chinese and Russian translations of this manual can be ordered from MacDon, downloaded from the MacDon

devices that could be necessary for the job at hand.
Don’t take chances. You may need the following:
• Hard hat
• Protective footwear with slip resistant soles
• Protective glasses or goggles
• Heavy gloves
• Wet weather gear
• Respirator or filter mask
Figure 1.2: Safety Equipment
• Be aware that exposure to loud noises can cause
hearing impairment or loss. Wear suitable hearing
protection devices such as ear muffs or ear plugs to
help protect against objectionable or loud noises.
Figure 1.3: Safety Equipment
•Provideafirst aid kit for use in case of emergencies.
• Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be sure the
fire extinguisher is properly maintained. Be familiar with
its proper use.
• Keep young children away from the machinery at
all times.
• Be aware that accidents often happen when the
Operator is tired or in a hurry. Take the time to
consider the safest way. Never ignore the warning

SAFETY
•Wearclose-fitting clothing and cover long hair. Never
wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.
• 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.
Figure 1.5: Safety Around Equipment
• 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.
•DoNOT modify the machine. Non-authorized
modifications may impair machine function and/or
safety. It may also shorten the machine’s life.
• To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup
of machine, always stop engine and remove key from
ignition before leaving operator’s seat for any reason.
Figure 1.6: Safety Around Equipment
• Keep the service area 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.
• Keep work area well lit.
• Keep machinery clean. Straw and chaff on a hot
engine is 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.
