WINDROWER OPERATION
Form 169017 / 169087 / 169095
57
Revision C
WARNING
If starter engages with steering wheel
unlocked, ground speed lever out of neutral,
or header clutch engaged, DO NOT START
ENGINE. See your windrower dealer.
6.3.5.2 Engine Warm-Up
Allow engine to run with
throttle lever (D) at or
near low idle position
until temperature gauge
reaches approximately
100
°F (40°C).
6.3.5.3 Engine Intermediate Speed Control
(ISC)
The engine operating speed can be programmed
to enable the windrower to operate at reduced
engine rpm without significantly affecting the
ground or header speeds. See table below. This
is useful in where operating loads are reduced
such as in light crop conditions which do not
require the maximum engine rpm. Reduced
engine speed lowers fuel consumption, noise
levels, and exhaust emissions in addition to
reducing engine wear.
M150 1800, 1900, 2000, OFF (full throttle)
M200 1600, 1800, 2000, OFF (full throttle
Programming instructions are given in Section
5.18.5 Cab Display Module (CDM) Programming.
The programmed engine speed is activated when
the header is engaged.

CAUTION
Be sure windrower is safely parked on a flat,
level surface, header on the ground and the
