OPERATION
Engine Intermediate Speed Control (ISC)
The e ngine operating speed can be programmed to enable the w indrower to operate at reduced engine rpm (that
is, 1800, 2000, or 2200 rpm) without significantly affecting the ground or header speeds. The default setting is
2200 rpm or the last selected rpm.
NOTE:
Previous M-S
eries windrower models included an OFF (full throttle) option which is NOT available on the M155.
Engine ISC is useful when operating loads are reduced such as in light crop conditions that do not require the
maximum engine rpm. Reduced engine speed lowers fuel consumption, noise levels, and exhaust emissions in
addition to reducing engine wear.
The programmed engine speed is activated when the header is engaged.
Programm ing instructions are p ro vided in 3.19.5 Cab Display Module (CDM) Programming, page 89.
Shutting Down the Engine
CAUTION
Park on a flat, level surface, header on the ground, and the ground speed lever in N-DETENT position and
steering wheel locked.
IMPORTAN T:
Before stoppin g eng ine, run at low idle for approximately five minutes to cool hot engine parts (and allow
turbocharger to slow down while engine oil pressure is available).
1. Lower header.
2. Place ground speed lever (GSL ) (B) into N-DETENT.
3. Lock steering wheel.
4. Turn ignition key (A) counterclockwise to OFF position.

Filling the Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank daily, preferably at the end of the day’s operation to help prevent condensation in the tank.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove
the key from the ignition before leaving the operator ’s seat for any reason.
