field speed (0-11 mph (17.7 km/h)). CDM will
display an engine status at (C).

CAUTION
Check again to be sure all bystanders have
cleared the area.
f. Slowly move the GSL (A) forward to desired
speed which will be displayed at (F).
CAUTION
Operate both steering wheel and ground
speed lever slowly for familiarization. Avoid
the common tendency of new operators to
over-steer.
NOTE
The windrower can be equipped with an
automatic steering system for use in the
field. The Auto-Steer is available as an
option and can be installed by an Auto-
Steer dealer. The GSL has been pre-
wired at the factory with a switch. Also
see Section 9.14 AUTO-STEER.
6.3.6.2.1 Reverse
WARNING
Back up slowly. Steering is opposite to
normal when reversing. Hold steering wheel
at the bottom and turn wheel in direction you
want the rear of the machine to travel.
a. Set ground speed-range switch (B) to 1.
b. Move throttle lever (D) to a mid-range position.
NOTE
Reversing in low speed-range and at
reduced engine speed is recommended
since steering will be less sensitive than at
higher speed settings.
CAUTION
Check again to be sure all bystanders have
cleared the area.
c. Move the GSL (A) rearward to desired speed.
