OPERATION
To stop the windrower:
1. SLOWLY return the ground speed lever (GSL) (A) to
NEUTRAL and into N-DETENT.
2. Turn steering wheel until it locks.
3. Move throttle lever (B) to low idle position.
NOTE:
Avoid unnecessary idling. Stop engine if it will be
idling for longer than 5 minutes.
NOTE:
Brakes are automatically engaged when steering
wheel is locked in NEUTRAL position.
IMPORTANT:
Before stopping engine, run at low idle for approximately
5 minutes to cool hot engine parts (and allow
turbocharger to slow down while engine oil pressure is
available).
4. Turn ignition key counterclockwise to OFF position.

4.3.7 Adjusting Caster Tread Width
The rear casters can be adjusted to a narrow tread width to allow loading and shipping without having to
remove them.
A narrow tread width also suits smaller headers by allowing more space to the uncut crop and provides more
manoeuvrability around poles, irrigation inlets, or other obstacles.
A wider tread width is useful in heavy crops that produce large windrows so that runover is reduced.
DANGER
Stop engine and remove key from ignition before leaving operator's seat for any reason. A child or even a
pet could engage an idling machine.
CAUTION
Park on a flat, level surface, header on the ground, and the ground speed lever in N-DETENT position and
steering wheel locked.
