OPERATION
Driving the Windrower (continued)
TO
DRIVE
FORWARD:
1.
After starting engine, release park brake.
If
buzzer and
warning
lights remain on, shut
engine
off
and refer
to
Trouble Shooting section
to
determine cause.
2. Diesel units only:
For
field operation, set speed-
range control
to
position
(A).
For
road speeds,
set
control
to
position
(B).
3.
Push throttle lever (C)
to
full forward (operating
speed).
IMPORTANT
:
For
field operation, always operate
windrower with speed-range control in field
position
and
throttle lever fully forward (maximum
engine RPM). Use controls
to
vary ground speed,
reel speed and conveyor speed. All systems are
designed
for
efficient operation
at
maximum
engine RPM.
A
CAUTION:
Check again
to
be sure
aD
bystanders have
deared
the
area.
4. Slowly move variable ground speed lever (D)
forward
to
desired speed.
A
CAUTION:
Operate
both
steering
wheel
and
variable speed lever slowly
for
tamaiarization.
Rememberthatsteering
is
more
sensitive
when
speed-range
control
is
in
Road
Speed
Position.
Avoid
the
common
tendency
of
new
ooerators
to
over-steer.
5. In situations where more tractive 0ugging)
power is required,
for
example, driving
up
a
ramp,
up
a hill,
or
up
out
of
a ditch:
Be sure speed-range control is in field position
and move
the
variable speed lever towards
neutral. The effect
of
this is similar
to
down-
shifting a standard transmission, increasing
torque
at
the
drive wheels.
