MacDon provides warranty for Customers who operate and maintain their equipment as described in this manual. A copy
of the MacDon Industries Limited Warranty Policy, which explains this warranty, should have been provided to you by your
Dealer. Damage resulting from any of the following conditions will void the warranty:
• Accident

• Failure to use the machine, equipment, component, or part in accordance with the manufacturer’ s instructions
The following conventions are used in this document:
• The M1240 Windrower is Dual Direction
®
, meaning the windrower can be driven in cab-forward or engine-forward
modes. Right and left designations are therefore determined from the operator’s position, facing the direction of travel.
This manual uses the terms “right cab-forward”, “left cab-forward ”, “right engine-forward”, and “left engine-forward”
when referencing specific locations on the machine.
• Unless otherwise noted, use the standard torque values provided in Chapter 8.1 Torque Specifications, page 501 of this
document.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to pass on to new Operators or Owners. A manual storage case is
located in the cab.
