OPERATION

CAUTION

Operate both steering wheel and ground speed lever slowly for familiarization.

Avoid the common

tendency of new Operators to oversteer.

IMPORTANT:

The windrower can be equipped with an automatic steering system for use in the field. An
automated steering system is available as an option and can be installed by a MacDon Dealer.
The GSL has been pre-wired at the factory with a switch. Also refer to

Driving in Reverse in Cab-Forward Mode

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 (cab-forward) of the machine to travel.

1. Move speed range switch (A) to L.

2. Move throttle lever (B) 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.

3. Move the ground speed lever (GSL) rearward to

desired speed.
