Introduction
This manual contains unloading, assembly, and predelivery information for MacDon M2170NT Windrowers. When paired
with the following MacDon draper headers, this windrower ably cuts and lays a variety of grain, hay, and specialty crops in
windrows:
•D1X or D1XL Series Draper Headers
•D2 Series Draper Headers
The windrower features Dual Direction®capability, meaning that it can be driven in cab-forward or engine-forward mode.
Conventions
The following conventions are used in this document:
•The designations right and left are determined by which direction the Operator is facing. The Operator is considered to
be looking cab-forward when they are facing the drive wheels, and engine-forward when facing the engine. This
manual uses the terms right cab-forward, left cab-forward, right engine-forward, and left engine-forward to refer to
specific locations on the machine.
•Unless otherwise noted, use the standard torque values provided in this manual.
•When torque values of 30 Nm or less are listed, their equivalents will be provided in both foot-pounds (lbf·ft) and
inch-pounds (lbf·in).

1.4 Hydraulic Safety
Because hydraulic fluid is under extreme pressure, hydraulic fluid leaks can be very dangerous. Follow the proper safety
procedures when inspecting hydraulic fluid leaks and servicing hydraulic equipment.
1001205
Figure 1.8: Testing for Hydraulic Leaks
•Always place all hydraulic controls in NEUTRAL before
leaving the operator’s seat.
•Ensure that all of the components in the hydraulic system
are kept clean and in good condition.
•Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses
and steel lines.
•Do NOT attempt any makeshift repairs to hydraulic lines,
fittings, or hoses by using tapes, clamps, cements, or
welding. The hydraulic system operates under extremely
high pressure. Makeshift repairs can fail suddenly and create
hazardous conditions.
1001207
Figure 1.9: Hydraulic Pressure Hazard
•Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for
high-pressure hydraulic fluid leaks. Use a piece of cardboard
as a backstop instead of your hands to isolate and identify
a leak.
•If you are injured by a concentrated, high-pressure stream
of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately.
Serious infection or a toxic reaction can develop from
hydraulic fluid piercing the skin.
1000013

Understand the risks of handling tires before performing maintenance tasks.
1000020
Figure 1.11: Overinflated Tire
WARNING
•A tire can explode during inflation, causing serious injury
or death.
•Follow the proper procedures when mounting a tire. Failure
to do so can produce an explosion, causing serious injury
or death.
1000019
Figure 1.12: Safely Inflating Tire
WARNING
•Do NOT remove, install, or repair a tire on a rim unless you
have the proper equipment and experience to perform the
task. Take the tire and rim to a qualified tire repair shop if
necessary.
•Ensure that the tire is correctly seated on the rim before
inflating it. If the tire is not correctly positioned on the rim
or is overinflated, the tire bead can loosen on one side
causing air to escape at high speed and with great force. An
air leak of this nature can thrust the tire in any direction,
endangering anyone in the area.
•Do NOT stand over the tire when inflating it. Use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose when inflating a tire.
•Do NOT exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated
on the tire label.
•Never use force on an inflated or partially-inflated tire.
•Ensure that all air is removed from the tire before removing the tire from the rim.
•Never weld a wheel rim.
•Replace tires that have defects. Replace wheel rims that are cracked, worn, or severely rusted.

1.6 Battery Safety
Working with lead-acid vehicle batteries presents several safety risks.
1000015
Figure 1.13: Safety around Batteries
WARNING
•Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries. The
electrolyte fluid in the battery cells emits an explosive gas
which can build up over time.
•Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when charging the
battery.
1000016
Figure 1.14: Safety around Batteries
WARNING
•Wear safety glasses when working near batteries.
•To avoid the loss of electrolyte fluid, do NOT tip a battery
more than 45° off of its base.
•Battery electrolyte causes severe burns. Ensure that it does
not contact your skin, eyes, or clothing.
•Electrolyte splashed into the eyes is extremely damaging. If
you are treating this condition: force the eye open and flush
it with cool, clean water for 5 minutes. Call a doctor
immediately.
•If electrolyte is spilled or splashed on one’s clothing or their
body, neutralize it immediately with a solution of baking
soda and water, then rinse the strained area with
clean water.
1000017
Figure 1.15: Safety around Batteries
WARNING
•To avoid injury from a spark or short circuit, disconnect the
battery ground cable before servicing any part of the
electrical system.
•Do NOT operate the engine with the alternator or battery
disconnected. With the battery cables disconnected and the
engine running, a high voltage can be built up if the cable
terminals touch the machine frame. Anyone touching the
machine frame under these conditions may be electrocuted.
•When working around batteries, remember that all of the
exposed metal parts are live. Never lay a metal object
across the terminals; this will generate a powerful spark and
can electrocute the holder of the tool if they are not
properly grounded.
•Keep batteries out of reach of children.

1.7 Welding Precautions
Understand these critical precautions before attempting to weld anything on the windrower.
IMPORTANT:
If the procedures below are not followed, the windrower’s electronic components may be damaged. Some components
may only be partially damaged, which would result in some electrical components failing in an intermittent way. Such faults
are very difficult to diagnose reliably.
The windrower is equipped with several sensitive electronic components. Therefore, components to be welded should be
removed from the windrower whenever possible rather than welded in place.
When welding needs to be performed on a header, disconnect the header completely from the windrower before
beginning. These same guidelines apply to plasma cutting, or any other high-current electrical operation performed on the
machine.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the windrower is parked on a level surface, the ignition is turned off, and the key is removed before
disconnecting anything.
The following items need to be disconnected:
