Transporting the Windrower

TOWING THE WINDROWER ON A TRAILER

(continued)

WARNING: When towing the

windrower on a trailer (continued):

8. For model 9352/4952/2952/8152 Tractors,

when towing on a front or rear mount

trailer, lock casters in a straight-ahead or

straight-back position with L-pin (F). Secure

L-pin with hairpin in lock or storage

position. (See storage position, lower right

photo on page 52.)

9. Do not tow at speeds over 25 mph (40

km/h). Travel speed should be such that

complete control and stability are

maintained at all times.

10. Be aware of roadside obstructions,

oncoming traffic and bridges. Take care

when travelling over rough terrain or on

slopes.

11. Be sure the total weight of the trailed

vehicle NEVER EXCEEDS the weight of the

towing vehicle, unless the trailed vehicle is

equipped with remote brakes.

NOTE: Windrower weighs 8000 to 10000 lbs.

(3600 to 4500 kg) depending on header size.

Stopping distance increases with

increasing speed as the weight of the trailed

vehicle increases, especially on hills and

slopes.

12. IMPORTANT: Before towing, plug or cover

muffler exhaust to prevent the turbine from

turning without lubrication. This "free-wheeling"

of the turbocharger can cause damage.
