Figure 4.21: Engine-Forward – Seat Faces Engine
1. Place ground speed lever (GSL) (A) in the N-DETENT
position and lock the steering wheel. The engine can be
running.
IMPORTANT:
If the GSL is NOT in the N-DETENT position, the GSL cable
may be damaged when you swivel the operator’s station.
2. Pull up on and hold knob (B) to release latch (C) at the base
of the steering column.
3. Turn the steering wheel counterclockwise to pivot the
operator’s station clockwise 180°. When the operator’s
station has turned fully, the pin will engage the latch,
securing the operator’s station in its position.
4. If it is not already running, start the engine. For
instructions, refer to Starting Engine, page 160.

5. Set GROUND SPEED RANGE switch (A) to the H position for
road speed (0–37 km/h [23 mph]). The cab display module
(CDM) will display ROAD GEAR at location (F) and will
emit a tone.
6. Slowly push throttle (B) to the fully forward position
(operating speed). The CDM will display 2320–2350 rpm at
location (C).
DANGER
Ensure that all bystanders have cleared the area.
7. Slowly move GSL (E) forward to the desired speed. The
reported ground speed will appear at location (D).
CAUTION
Operate both the steering wheel and ground speed lever slowly while becoming familiar with the machine. Remember
that the steering is more sensitive when the speed-range control is in high road speed position. Avoid the common
tendency of new Operators to oversteer.

8. If more tractive power is required (for example, when
driving up a ramp, up a hill, or out of a ditch):
a. Move GSL (E) closer to NEUTRAL.
b. Switch speed-range control (A) to the L (low range)
position.
9. Once the windrower is on flat ground:
a. Set GSL (E) to NOT MORE THAN HALF of the maximum
forward speed.
b. Move speed-range switch (A) to H (high range).
NOTE:
The steering is more sensitive in this speed range.
