OPERATION

Using Auto Raise Height Feature

IMPORTANT:

The windrower must be running with the header engaged at the cutting height and the RETURN
TO CUT switch (A) activated.

Use the AUTO RAISE HEIGHT feature as follows:

1. To raise the header to the AUTO RAISE HEIGHT set point, double-click (two clicks within 0.5 seconds) the

HEADER UP switch (D) on the ground speed lever (GSL).

NOTE:

With AUTO RAISE HEIGHT turned ON, the ACRE counter will be disabled when header height greater
than preset cutting height.

2. If desired, press HEADER UP switch while header is being raised to disable AUTO RAISE HEIGHT and maintain

current height.

NOTE:

With AUTO RAISE HEIGHT turned OFF, the ACRE counter will be disabled when header height value is
greater than 9.5. OFF is displayed on the cab display module (CDM).

3. To return the header to the preset cutting height, momentarily press HEADER DOWN switch (E).

Header Drop Rate

The header should lower gradually when the HEADER DOWN switch is pressed. From full height to ground should
take approximately 3–4 seconds.

Double Windrowing

The double windrow attachment (DWA) deposits two windrows of conditioned material close together to be
picked up by a forage chopper.

The system is for use with the A-Series Auger Header,
R-Series Rotary Disc Header, and D65 Draper Header with
HC10 Hay Conditioner.

The conditioned crop is deposited onto the side delivery
system draper and delivered to the side of the windrower
when required.

Raising the side delivery system shuts off the draper and
allows the crop to be deposited between the windrower
wheels as it would be without the side delivery system.

Refer to MacDon M-Series Windrower Double Windrow
Attachment Manual (Form MD #169216) for complete
operating and maintenance instructions. The manual is
shipped with the DWA kit.
