6.3.8.1
Driving On Road
The M150 and M200 Windrowers are designed to
be driven on the road with the engine-forward to
provide better visibility for the operator and
improved stability for the machine. Refer to
Section 6.3.6.3 Engine-Forward Operation.
The Windrowers are also capable of being driven
on the road in cab-forward, but at a reduced
speed, and under restricted conditions.
WARNING
Collision between windrower and other
vehicles may result in injury or death.
WARNING
When driving windrower on public roadways:
• Obey all highway traffic regulations in your
area. Use pilot vehicles front and rear of
windrower if required by law.
• Use slow moving vehicle emblem and
flashing warning lights unless prohibited
by law.
• If width of attached header impedes other
vehicle traffic, remove header, and install a
MacDon approved weight box.
CAUTION
Check local laws for width regulations and
lighting and marking requirements before
transporting on roads.
WARNING
Do not drive windrower on the road in the
cab-forward mode, unless the optional
lighting marking kit is installed, as
lighting/reflector visibility will not be
compliant with road regulations.
WARNING
Do not drive windrower on a road or highway
at night, or in conditions which reduce
visibility, such as fog or rain. The width of the
windrower may not be apparent under these
conditions.
CAUTION
Operate both steering wheel and ground
speed lever slowly for familiarization.
Remember that steering is more sensitive
when speed-range control is in Road Speed
Position. Avoid the common tendency of new
Operators to over-steer.
a. Ensure HEADER DRIVE switch is pushed to “off”
position.
b. Before driving windrower on a roadway:
1. Clean flashing amber lamps, red tail lamp and
head lamps, and check that they work
properly.
2. Clean all reflective surfaces and slow moving
vehicle emblems.
3. Adjust interior rear view mirror, and clean
windows.
