1.1 General information
1.1.1 Introduction to this service manual
This service manual gives information from engineering tests, operating data, and the latest service
techniques at the time of publication. Read this service manual carefully before doing any service on the
machine.
The photos and illustrations used in this service manual were current at the time of publication. Production
changes can cause machines to vary from the photos and the illustrations. The manufacturer reserves the
right to redesign and change machines as necessary without notification.
WARNING:
Some pictures in this manual show the machine with shields or guards removed to
permit for a better view of the subject of the picture. All shields and guards must be in
position before operating the machine.
Machine movement when in normal use determines right-hand and left-hand.
1.1.2 Units of measurement
Measurements are given in metric units followed by the equivalent in US units. Hardware sizes are given
in millimeters for metric hardware and inches for US hardware.
1.1.3 Table of contents
This manual has a table of contents at the front. The table of contents shows the divisions. The individual
divisions also have a table of contents.
1.1.4 Page numbers
All pages have two numbers, such as 01-25. The first number shows the division. The second number
shows the page in the division.
Page numbers occur on the lower right-hand or lower left-hand corner of each page.
1.1.5 Intended use
This machine is designed solely for use in customary agricultural operations.
Do not use this machine for any application or purpose other than those described in this manual. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for damage or injury resulting from misuse of this machine.
Compliance with the conditions of operation, service and repair as specified by the manufacturer constitute
essential elements for the intended use of this machine.
This machine should be operated, serviced and repaired only by qualified persons familiar with its
characteristics and familiar with the relevant safety rules and procedures.

1.2.6 Cylinder stops
The windrower tractor does not have mechanical cylinder stops. The header down valve on the lift cylinder
keeps the header from lowering.
1.2.7 Accumulator safety
DANGER:
An authorized dealer must charge or
replace the accumulator.
The accumulator (1) is charged with dry nitrogen
gas. Use only dry nitrogen when the accumulator
is charged. Do not use air or oxygen or an
explosion will occur.
Nitrogen gas, when released can cause freezing.
Always wear protective gloves and glasses when
around nitrogen.
Do not let the accumulator fall. A charged
accumulator contains pressurized nitrogen. If the
shut off valve breaks away from the accumulator,
the nitrogen will make the accumulator move at a
high rate of speed.

1.3 Operation
1.3.1 Prepare for operation
Read and understand the operating instructions and precautions in this manual before you operate or do
servicing on the machine.
Make sure that you know and understand the positions and operations of all controls. Make sure that all
controls are in neutral and the parking brake is applied before you start the machine.
WARNING:
If the engine is running and the parking brake is not applied, the machine will turn if the
steering wheel is moved when the travel control lever is in neutral.
Make sure that all persons are a sufficient distance from your area of work before you start or operate the
machine. Do checks on the controls and learn all controls in an area clear of persons and objects before
you start work with the machine. Know the dimensions of the machine and have sufficient space available
for operation. Do not operate the machine at high speeds around persons, buildings, other equipment, etc.
Always use correct procedures when you do tasks around and operate the machine. Do not let children or
persons who do not know how to operate the machine operate the machine. Keep other persons away
from your area of work. Do not let other persons ride on the machine.
Make sure that the machine is in the good mechanical condition. Make sure that the machine has the
correct equipment as necessary by local regulations.
All equipment has a limit. Make sure you understand the speed, brakes, steering, stability, and load
characteristics of this equipment before you start.
1.3.2 General information
When parking, park the machine on a solid level
surface and lower the header to the ground. Put all
controls in neutral, and apply the parking brake.
Stop the tractor engine and take the key with you.
WARNING:
Do not leave the machine unattended
with the header raised. Lower the
header fully before leaving the
machine. A sudden loss of hydraulic
pressure can cause the header to
drop without warning.
Make sure the machine is in the proper operating
condition according to the Operator Manual.
Always operate the machine with the control
console turned on.
Do not dismount from moving machinery.
Stay off slopes too steep for operation.
Be aware of the size of the machine and have
enough space available to allow for operation.
