OPERATION
Driving the Wind rower (continued)
TO
DRIVE
FORWARD:
1. After starting engine, release park brake. If
buzzer and
wa
rning lights remain on,
sh
ut
engine off and refer to
Tr
ouble Shooting
section
to
determine cause.
2.
Dual
Speed
Un
i
ts
:
For
field
operation, set
speed-range control to position
(A)
. For road
speeds, set control to position (8).
NOTE: Speed-range control may sometimes
be hard
to
shift
with
ground speed lever in
neutral. If so, set the speed range control just
after you start moving
(with ground speed
lever at the slow end of
its
range.)
Be
sure
lever
locks
In
over-center position
when
shifting.
3. Slowly push throttle lever
(C)
to
full forward
(operating speed).
IMPORTANT:
• Return throttle lever
(C)
to low idle position
before engaging header drives.
• For field operation, always operate windrower
with speed-range
co
ntrol in field position and
throHle lever
fuUy
forward (maximum engine
RPM)
. Use
cont
rols to vary ground speed. reel
speed and conveyor speed. All systems are
designed for efficient operat
io
n at maximum
engine
RPM.
A
CAUTION:
Check
again
to
be
sure
all
bystanders
have cleared
the
area.
4.
Slowly move variable ground speed l
eve
r
(D)
forward to desired speed,
NOTE: With speed range control
in
field
position, the numbers 2 to 9 adjacent to
ground speed lever indicate speed
in
miles
per hour.
CAUTION: Operate both
steering
A
wheel
and
variable speed
lever
..
slowlyforfamiliarization.
Remember
that
sleerlng
Is
more
sensitive
when
speed-range
control
is in Road
Speed
Position
, Avoid
the
common
tendency
of
new
operators
to
over-sleer.
5.
In
situations where more tractive (tugging)
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.
Th
e effect of this
is
similar to down·
shifting a standard transmi
ss
ion, increasing
torque at the drive wheels.
