MacDon 9250 SP - Manual (Page 3)

Form # 46584 Issue 11/06 Web Rev_01 1
INTRODUCTION
Your new Self-Propelled Windrower is designed to cut and lay in windrows, a wide variety of grain, hay and
specialty crops. Windrowing allows starting the harvest earlier, protects the crop from wind damage, and gives
you more flexibility in scheduling combine time.
The power unit (referred to in this manual as the "tractor"), when coupled with one of the specially designed
draper or auger headers, provides a package which incorporates many features and improvements in design
requested by Owner/Operators like yourself.
NOTE: This manual contains information on the windrower tractor only. It is to be used in conjunction with the
Header Operator's Manual.
CAREFULLY READ BOTH MANUALS TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL RECOMMENDED
PROCEDURES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOAD, ASSEMBLE OR USE THE WINDROWER.
Use the manual as your first source of information about the machine. If you follow the instructions given in
this manual, your Windrower will work well for many years.
The manual contains instructions for "Safety", "Operation", and "Maintenance/Service". In addition "Unloading
and Assembly" information is given towards the back of this book.
Use the Table of Contents and the Index to guide you to specific areas. Study the Table of Contents to
familiarize yourself with how the material is organized.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to pass on to new operators or owners. Call your
Windrower dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of the manuals.
NOTE: Right hand (R/H) and left hand (L/H) designations are determined from the operator's position, facing
forward.
