OPERATION


Driving the Windrower (continued)



MAKING A SPIN TURN:

Hydrostatic steering gives the operator significantly
more maneuverability than mechanical steering.

CAUTION: Be sure area is clear
before making turns. Although
tractor pivots "on the spot", ends of
header travel in a large arc.



To make a spin turn:

1. Move the variable speed lever (A) out of its

neutral detent (towards the seat, not forward or
rearward).


2. Slowly turn the steering wheel in the desired

direction of turn. The windrower will pivot
between the drive wheels.


3. To stop the turn, slowly turn the steering wheel

back to its centered position.


4. To increase the turn radius, slowly move the

ground speed lever away from neutral.
Remember that this will increase ground speed
as well.


5. To stop the turn, return all controls to neutral.
