OPERATION

Transporting the Windrower

TOWING WINDROWER WITHOUT TRAILER

(continued)

WARNING: When towing the

windrower without a trailer:

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

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.)

4. Be sure the towing vehicle is heavier than

the windrower.

NOTE: Windrower weighs 8000 to 10000 lbs.

(3600 to 4500 kg) depending on header size.

Remember stopping distance increases

when towing, especially on hills and slopes.

5. Do not exceed 16 mph (26 km/h) when

towing windrower.

6. Remember that when towing windrower

backwards, slow moving vehicle emblem,

reflectors and warning lights are not easily

visible. It is your responsibility to

adequately mark the load when transporting

in this fashion.

7. Set light switch to FLASHER position to

activate amber lamps.

8. Do not tow the windrower on a roadway at

night, or in conditions which reduce

visibility, such as fog or rain. The width of

the load makes it unsafe to transport under

these conditions.

9. Be aware of roadside obstructions,

oncoming traffic and bridges. Take care

when travelling over rough terrain or on

slopes.

10. 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.
