OPERATION

TRANSPORTING THE WINDROWER (continued)

10. Transport Width - Be sure transport width (X)

is as narrow as possible without compromising

machine stability. Recommended transport

widths (X) are:

21 ft. unit - 10'6" (3.2 m)

25 ft. unit - 10'10" (3.3 m)

30 ft. unit - 11'2" (3.4 m)

36 ft. unit - 12' (3.7 m)

Adjustment is made at right hand wheel, as

follows:

- To narrow transport width, loosen nut (A) and

turn nut (B) against bracket (C).

- To widen transport width, loosen nut (B) and

turn nut (A) against bracket (C).

- When optimum transport width is reached,

tighten nut to secure the position.

11. To maintain stability, transport with reel fully

lowered.

12. When transporting the windrower on a road or

highway, use the accessory lights to provide

adequate warning to operators of other

vehicles. The amber lights (A) are positioned to

mark the outline of the windrower, while the red

lights (B) mark the rear of the unit.

Do not use field light on roads or highways;

other drivers may be confused by its position.

13. Do not transport the windrower on a road or

highway at night, or in conditions which reduce

visibility, such as fog or rain.

14. Be aware of roadside obstructions, oncoming

traffic and bridges.
