10. Set the desired maximum ground speed limit. Refer to
Adjusting Ground Speed Limit, page 125.
NOTE:
Maximum ground speed can be set while the windrower is
moving. Anticipate acceleration or deceleration if changing
maximum speed while moving.
11. Slowly push throttle (A) to full forward (operating speed).
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared the area.
12. Move the GSL (B) out of PARK and slowly forward to
desired speed.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death from loss of control:
• Do NOT make abrupt changes in steering direction.
• Anticipate turns and steep slopes by slowing down well in advance. Before making an abrupt turn, pull back on the
ground speed lever (GSL) as steering is more responsive at reduced speeds.
• Do NOT rapidly accelerate or decelerate while turning.
When traveling on steep slopes:
• Move GSL closer to NEUTRAL to reduce speed.
• Lower header.
• If the ground speed is greater than or equal to 51 km/h (30 mph), the HPT will display a warning message (SLOW
DOWN) with an audible alert. Move GSL closer to NEUTRAL to reduce speed.
With header removed, steering control is reduced if weight is not added to drive wheels. If you must drive the
windrower without header or MacDon weight system:
• Do NOT exceed minimum speed setting.
• Avoid loose gravel and slopes.
• Do NOT tow a header.
• If control of machine is lost, immediately pull ground speed lever (GSL) to NEUTRAL.
