OPERATION
Transporting the Windrower
TOWING THE WINDROWER ON A TRAILER (continued)
WARNING: When towing the
windrower on a trailer (continued):
8. When towing on a front or rear mount
trailer, lock casters in a straight-ahead or
straight-back position with L-pin (F). Secure
L-pin with hairpin in lock or storage
position. (See storage position, lower right
photo on page 52.)
9. Do not tow at speeds over 25 mph (40
km/h). Travel speed should be such that
complete control and stability are
maintained at all times.
10. Be aware of roadside obstructions,
oncoming traffic and bridges. Take care
when travelling over rough terrain or on
slopes.
11. Be sure the total weight of the trailed
vehicle NEVER EXCEEDS the weight of the
towing vehicle, unless the trailed vehicle is
equipped with remote brakes.
NOTE: Windrower weighs 8000 to 10000 lbs.
(3600 to 4500 kg) depending on header size.
Stopping distance increases with
increasing speed as the weight of the trailed
vehicle increases, especially on hills and
slopes.
12. IMPORTANT: Before towing, plug or cover
muffler exhaust to prevent the turbine from
turning without lubrication. This "free-wheeling"
of the turbocharger can cause damage.
