OPERATION PREPARING THE TRACTOR 1. Select proper tractor size. The minimum power required is: 12 ft. - 60 hp (45 kw) 14 ft. - 75 hp (56 kw) 16 ft. - 90 hp (68 kw) Also, minimum hydraulics required are 1750 psi (12000 kPa) pressure with double acting, dual remote capability. 2. Adjust tractor drawbar to meet ASAE Standard specifications as listed below. An improperly located drawbar may affect header flotation and guard angle. (A) 14 in. (356 mm) for 540 rpm. 16 in. (406 mm) for 1000 rpm.
OPERATION PREPARING THE WINDROWER 1. Check the tires and inflate if necessary. Recommended pressure is 30 psi (207 kPa). CAUTION: When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and not facing the tire. 2. Check for proper assembly and adjustment and make sure all bolts are tightened securely. STAND TO ONE SIDE WHEN INFLATING TIRES 3. Check the tension of the reel drive belt and the sickle drive belt. Adjust if required.
OPERATION ATTACHING WINDROWER TO TRACTOR CAUTION: Shut off tractor, engage parking brake and remove key before working around hitch. A CAUTION: Never attach windrower to tractor rear axle or three-point hitch arms. 1. Using the jack, raise windrower tongue to clear the hitch pin in drawbar extension. Position tractor to align ball joint on tongue with hitch pin and lower tongue. Secure with lock pin (A). C 2.
OPERATION ATTACHING (cont'd) WINDROWER TO TRACTOR 5. Connect remote hydraulic hoses as follows: a. Connect the two tongue swing hoses (H) so that when the tractor control is moved forward, the swing cylinder will extend, moving the windrower to the right. When the tractor control handle is moved back, the swing cylinder will retract, moving the windrower to the left. H J K b.
OPERATION A BREAK-IN PERIOD 1. After attaching windrower to tractor for the first time, operate the machine slowly for 5 minutes, watching and listening FROM THE TRACTOR SEAT for binding or interfering parts. E CAUTION: Before investigating an unusual sound or attempting to correct a problem, shut off tractor, engage parking brake and remove key. H 2. Check wheel bolt torque after 1 hour operation and periodically thereafter (at least every 100 hours). Torque to 120 ft.lbs. (160 N⋅m).
OPERATION PRE-STARTING CHECKS Do the following at the start of each operating season: CAUTION: 1. Review the Operator's Manual to refresh your memory on safety and operating recommendations. 2. Review all safety signs and other decals on the windrower and note hazard areas. 3. Be sure all shields and guards are properly installed and secured. Never alter or remove safety equipment. 4. Be sure you understand and have practiced safe use of all controls.
OPERATION PRE-STARTING CHECKS Do the following each day before start-up: CAUTION: 1. Clear the area of other persons, pets etc. Keep children away from machinery. Walk around the windrower to be sure no one is under, on or close to it. 2. Remove foreign objects from the machine and surrounding area. 3. Wear close fitting clothing and protective shoes with slip resistant soles.
OPERATION OPERATE CORRECTLY CAUTION: 1. Follow all safety and operational instructions given in your tractor Operator's Manual. If you do not have a tractor manual, get one from your dealer and read it thoroughly. 2. Never attempt to start the tractor engine or operate the windrower except from the tractor seat. 3. Check the operation of all controls in a safe clear area before starting work. 4. Do not allow riders on tractor or windrower. 5.
OPERATION LIFT CYLINDER STOP (RAISING AND LOWERING WINDROWER) WARNING: To avoid bodily injury or death from fall of raised machine, always engage lift cylinder stops before going under windrower for any reason. To engage cylinder stops: 1. Raise machine to maximum height by activating remote cylinder control valve in tractor. NOTE: Hoses should be connected so that moving control lever (A) back raises the header. TRACTOR CONTROL LEVER (TYPICAL) 2.
OPERATION STEERING Steering the windrower is controlled by the tractor remote hydraulic system. This steering system allows the windrower to follow directly behind the tractor, make a full cut to either side, or any position in between. NOTE: To allow hitch to swing, latch rod must be in field position (D). If rod is in transport position (A), pivot rod retainer (C) up to allow moving rod from (A) to (D).
OPERATION 180° TURN When cutting back and forth on one side of the field, approximately 50 ft. (15 m) is required at each end of the field to make a 180° turn-around. Proceed as follows: 1. Beginning at position (A), the tractor is guided away from the uncut crop while the windrower is guided straight ahead until cutting through the end. 2.
OPERATION TURNING SQUARE CORNERS The following procedure is intended only as a guide to developing a turning procedure for the tractor being used. Specific distances are not given due to the variances in tractor maneuverability. 1. As the tractor approaches the corner, guide the tractor sharply away from the crop. Steer the windrower to maintain a straight cut ahead as the tractor moves away from the crop. 2.
OPERATION LEAN BAR POSITION IMPORTANT: To prevent structural damage to the header, do not operate with lean bar removed. Use the lean bar adjustment to accommodate different crop heights. The lean bar should strike the upper portion of the crop, leaning it away from the header and exposing the stalks to the sickle. A To extend or retract lean bar, re-position hardware (A) in adjustment holes as required.
OPERATION REEL SPEED For best feeding of the crop into the auger, reel speed should be just faster than ground speed. This gently sweeps material across the sickle into the auger. The reel speed is factory set at 66 rpm. With a pulley position exchange, other reel speeds are possible. (See chart.) A slower reel speed will reduce excessive crop carry-over, while a faster reel speed will result in a more even stubble height in down and tangled crops.
OPERATION REEL POSITION (continued) NOTE: The reel must be adjusted equally on both sides, both horizontally and vertically. To adjust reel horizontal (fore-aft) position: a. Loosen nuts (A) and (B). Back off nut (C) until reel drive chain and belt are loose. b. Loosen nuts (D), three on left side, four on right side. c. Loosen jam nut on bolt (E), both sides, and turn adjuster nuts to move reel fore or aft to desired position. Tighten jam nut. d.
OPERATION CUTTING HEIGHT Control cutting height with skid plates, not with the hydraulic cylinder. Having the header "ride" on the skid plates allows the float linkage to float header over obstacles and follow ground contours, rather than supporting the header with the cylinder. NOTE: Lowering the skid plates raises the cutting height. This may be desirable in stony conditions, to reduce damage to cutting components. Also, a longer stubble length helps material dry faster.
OPERATION CUTTERBAR ANGLE Cutterbar angle can be varied from 6° to 11.5° below horizontal. Choose an angle that maximises performance for your crop and field conditions. A flatter guard angle provides better clearance in stony conditions while a steeper guard angle is required in down crops for better lifting action. To adjust cutterbar angle: a. Loosen nut (A). b. To decrease (flatten) cutterbar angle, turn nut (B) clockwise. c. To increase (steepen) cutterbar angle, turn nut (B) counter-clockwise. d.
OPERATION HEADER FLOTATION Header flotation springs are normally set so 70 lbs. force (311 N) is required to lift either end of the header just off the ground. In rough or stony conditions, it may be desirable to change setting to 35-50 lbs. (156-222 N) to protect cutting components. NOTE: When float setting is light, it may be necessary to use a slower ground speed to avoid excessive bouncing and leaving a ragged cut. To increase header flotation, which decreases the force required to lift header: a.
OPERATION ROLL GAP WARNING: To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up or fall of raised machine; stop engine, remove key and engage lift cylinder stop before going under machine to examine rolls or for any other reason. Steel rolls "condition" the crop by crimping the stem in several places. This allows moisture release for quicker drying. The degree to which the crop is conditioned as it passes through the rolls is controlled by roll gap (A), measured from bar to roll tube.
OPERATION FORMING SHIELDS WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from discharge opening. Keep everyone several hundred feet away from your operation. Never direct the discharge toward anyone. Stones or other foreign objects can be ejected with force. The position of the forming shields controls the width and placement of the windrow.
OPERATION HAYING TIPS There is one certainty when making hay - a quick cure will maintain top quality. It is critical to have the cured hay baled as quickly as possible, for two reasons: 1. Every day hay lies on the ground, 5% of the protein is lost. 2. The sooner the cut hay is off, the earlier the start for next growth. Generally, leaving the windrow as wide and thin as possible makes for the quickest curing, however there are other factors which affect curing time: 1.
OPERATION HAYING TIPS (continued) 3. WINDROW CHARACTERISTICS See "Operating Variables" in this section. Control the factors listed to produce a windrow with the following characteristics: a. High and fluffy for good air flow. The movement of air through the windrow is more important to the curing process than direct sunlight. b. Consistent formation, not bunchy. A uniform windrow permits an even flow of material into the baler, chopper etc. c.
OPERATION UNPLUGGING THE WINDROWER WARNING: Stop tractor engine and remove key before removing plugged material from windrower. A child or even a pet could engage the drive. If the sickle plugs: 1. Stop forward movement of the tractor and stop the PTO. 2. Lift the cutterbar about 12 inches (300 mm). 3. Back up about 3 feet (1 metre) while slowly engaging the PTO. 4. If the plug does not clear; raise machine, shut off engine, remove key and lock tractor brakes. 5. Engage lift cylinder stop.
OPERATION SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE CAUTION: Before leaving the tractor seat for any reason: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Stop engine and remove key from ignition. 7. Wait for all movement to stop. 8. Lock tractor anti-vandalism covers and closures when leaving the machine unattended. Park on level ground if possible. Lower the windrower fully. Place all controls in NEUTRAL or PARK. Disengage PTO. Engage the park brake.
OPERATION TRANSPORTING THE WINDROWER: FLATBED B CAUTION: Use the following procedure when shipping the windrower on a flatbed trailer. 1. Raise header with tractor hydraulics and install lift cylinder stops. 2. Position lean bar to hang vertically downward. Install only one bolt per side. (Remove divider rods, if equipped.) 3. Remove complete rear forming shield group, in whole. 4. At tongue pivot, back off two 5/8 nuts (B) approximately 3/4 inch (20 mm).
OPERATION MAINTENANCE/SERVICE STORAGE PROCEDURE SERVICE PROCEDURES Do the following at the end of each operating season: CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, before servicing windrower or opening drive covers: CAUTION: 1. Fully lower the windrower. If necessary to service in the raised position, always engage lift cylinder stops. 1. Clean the windrower thoroughly. Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile material for cleaning purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or flammable. 2.
