OPERATION
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared the area.
3. Move the ground speed lever (GSL) (C) rearward to
desired speed.
4. Steer as shown.
Figure 4.25: Steering the Windrower
Spin Turning
Hydrostatic steering provides significantly more manoeuvrability than mechanical steering.
CAUTION
Be sure area is clear before making turns. Although windrower pivots on the spot, the ends of the header
travel faster and in a large arc.
1. Move the ground speed lever (GSL) (A) out of
N-DETENT towards the seat and hold.
2. Slowly turn the steering wheel in the desired direction
of turn. The windrower will pivot between the
drive wheels.
3. To increase the turn radius, slowly move the GSL away
from NEUTRAL. Remember that this will increase
ground speed as well.
4. To stop the turn, slowly turn the steering wheel back to
its centered position.

Stopping
WARNING
Do NOT move ground speed lever rapidly back to NEUTRAL. You may be thrown forward by sudden stop.
Always wear seat belt when operating windrower.
