CAUTION

To avoid bodily injury:

• Review the safety sections of your

windrower and header Operator’s
manuals.

• Keep all shields in place.
• Engage safety pin (A) when deck is

raised fully for transport, service and
storage or before going under deck for
any reason. To engage safety pin, raise
deck, rotate pin and push in until both
roll pins (B) are inside channel.

• Keep away from moving draper and

rollers.

• Keep clear of the deck while it is being

raised or lowered.

To raise and lower deck

NOTE: Extra caution should be taken when
raising the deck for the first time. The deck
rotates as it raises and lowers and the
backsheet folds on to the deck. Make sure the
deck and backsheet are not interfering with any
windrower parts or the forming shield.

In the setup instructions, if you chose to swap
the DWA controls, use the REEL FORE/AFT
switch to raise and lower the deck. The deck
moves forward when lowering, so switch
operation will be the same as when moving the
reel forward. The deck moves rearward when
raising so switch operation will be the same as
when moving the reel rearward.

In the setup instructions, if you chose “NO” to
swap the DWA controls, use the ROCKER
switch installed in the console. Press the
ROCKER switch forward portion to lower the
DWA and press the ROCKER switch rearward
portion to raise the DWA.

NOTE: Draper shuts off automatically when
deck is raised about two thirds of the way up. If
deck does not shut off soon enough, resulting in
backsheet touching draper before it shuts off,
the switch at the linkage needs to be lowered.
Lower switch by loosening two screws (C). Do
not over tighten the screws or the switch will
not work.
