Safety Suggestions

• Do not tow windrower faster than 20 mph (32
  km/h).
• Be especially careful when operating on hillsides
  because the windrower may tip sideways if it
  strikes a hole, ditch, or other irregularity.
• Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of
  accident. Use proper antiseptics on scratches and
  cuts without delay.
• Replace badly frayed or worn belts before they
  break.
• Before dismounting from the windrower, always en-
  gage the parking brake lever, move the master
  control lever to the neutral position, and shut
  off ignition.
• Never attempt to clear obstructions from the
  cutting platform unless the windrower is stopped,
  the engine shut off, and hand brake lever
  engaged.
• Never clean, oil, or adjust the windrower when it
  is running.
• Clothing worn by windrower operator should be
  fairly tighf and belted. Loose jackets, skirts,
  shirts, or sleeves should never be worn because
  of the danger of their getting into moving parts.
• Never operate the windrower in a closed garage.
• Escapng hydrauJc oil under pressure can cause
  personal injury therefore, be sure all
  connections are tight and that lines and hoses
  are not damaged. Before disconnecting lines in
  the windrower hydraulic system, be sure to
  relieve all hydraulic pressure.
• When driving the windrower on a road or highway
  at night or during the day, use accessory lights
  and devices for adequate warning to operators of
  other vehicles. In this regard, check local
  governmental reg- ulations. Various lights and
  devices are available from your John Deere
  dealer. Among these is the SMV (Slow-Moving
  Vehicle) emblem. A bracket is included with each
  emblem so that it can be attached vertically to
  the mounting on the caster wheel pivot.

The safety of the operator was one of the prime
considerations in the minds of John Deere
engineers when this windrower was designed.
Shielding, simple adjustments, and other safety
fea- tures were built into the machine wherever
possible. You can make your farm a safer place to
live and work if you observe the safety
suggestions given. Study these suggestions
carefully and insist that they be followed by
those working with you and for you. Only the
operator should be allowed on the opera- tor's
platform when the windrower is in operation. All
machinery should be operated only by respons-
ible persons who have been delegated to do
so. No Riders" on the windrower at any time. Use
the handrail and hand grip when mounting or
dismounting windrower. Keep the engine clean of
chaff and straw to prevent the possibility of
fires. Have a fire extinguisher handy. It's a
good idea to mount one on the operator's plat-
form. Keep the operator's platform clean. Do not
use it as a place to carry loose tools, lunch
boxes, etc. Before starting, make sure bystanders
are clear of the windrower so they cannot be
struck by moving parts or caught in a drive belt
or chain. Do not leave windrower unattended with
cutting platform raised. Always lower it to the
ground. Before servicing platform, place blocks
under each end. Add engine coolant only with
engine stopped or idling. Turn radiator cap
slowly to relieve pressure before
removing. Always disconnect battery ground strap
before ad- justing engine or servicing electrical
system. This will prevent fire hazards or
accidental starting. Use caution in handling any
type of engine fuel. Never refuel the windrower
when the engine is hot or running. Do not smoke
while filling the fuel tank or servicing the fuel
system.

Operation
9

• FIELD OPERATION
• Correct operation results in saving more grain or
  hay and doing more work. The length of service
  you re- ceive trom your windrower depends upon
  thorough lubrication proper adjustment of
  belts, chains, clutches, and canvases and use
  of correct operating adjustments to meet varying
  crop conditions.
• When to Windrow
• Grain is ready to windrow when it passes from the
  milky stage into the doughy stage. It must be
  windrowed before it reaches the shattering
  stage.
• Be sure the grain or hay is cured and ready to
  pick
• Width of Cut
• Cut a swath within the capacity of your combine,
  baler, etc. If a full swath will overload your
  machine, a narrower swath must be cut.
  Overloading means wasted crop, high fuel
  consumption, and possible re- pair bills.
• Height of Cut (Grain)
• The windrow should be laid on a stubble from 6 to
  8 inches high. A stubble of this height will
  allow free circulation of air under the windrow
  since straw is usually stiff enough to support
  the windrow without bending and allowing heads to
  come in contact with the ground. Heads that touch
  the ground are difficult to pick up and will
  sprout in damp weather.
• Cutterbar Knife Sections
• Use overserrated knife sections in coarse, stiff-
  stemmed crops (sudex, straw, alfalfa, clover, and
  most all hay crops).

Underserrated knife sections are used in fine-
stemmed crops (wild hay or bermuda grass) to
prevent stuffing or plugging of material along
the cutterbar. The smooth knife sections are
used in crops that are fine stemmed and are prone
to excessive uice buildup mom the cutting
operation. The smooth section pro- vides a clean
cut, if it is sharp, but must be maintained in
better condition that other sections if
satisfactory performance is to be expected. Reel
and Platform Adjustments Adjust the cutting
height and float of platform and reel to meet
crop conditions. Adjust speed of reel to
correspond with ground travel speed. Keep belts
and chains adjusted to proper tension. Ground
Travel Speed Under most conditions, a speed of 4
to 5 miles per hour (6 to 8 km/h) will produce a
good windrow, and not cause undue wear on the
windrower. Low travel speeds are advisable when
operating in down and tangled crops. High travel
speeds are sometimes used when operating in a
light, scattered crop. Avoid excessive speed. A
steady speed accomplishes more. To make the best
windrow in all conditions, cut a straight swatch.

10 Operation
BREAKING-IN THE NEW WINDROWER Check all V-belt
and chain drives carefully for proper alignment
and tension. Keep belts tight enough to prevent
slippage. Belts can be ruined very quickly if
allowed to slip in the grooves of a sheave for
any length of time. Excessive heating of sheave
is a sign of belt slippage. New belts will
stretch slightly during the run- in period. Check
tension frequently.
CAUTION Do not fill tank while engine is
running, or when near an open flame. Do not smoke
when filling fuel tank.
3. Check hydraulic oil level. (See page 29.)
4. Check belts and chains for proper tension and
alignment. See that there are no loose bolts or
missing cotter pins.
Adjust chain tension so the chlins are just
tight enough to run without climbing or jumping
the sprock- ets.
5. Check tension of platform canvases.
6. lnspect cutterbar for damaged knife sections
and alignment of guards.
Check operation of hydraulic controls for
platform and reel.
7. Check engine crankcase and air cleaner. (See
pages 29 and 33.)
Listen for any unusual sounds and watch for
slipping belts, heated bearings, or any faulty
operation. Be alert at all times.
8. Check the radiator coolant level. (See page
38.)
9. Check the fuel sediment bowl. (See page 53.)
Be certain all shafts turn freely.
10. Listen for any unusual sounds and watch for
loose belts, heated bearings, or any faulty
operation. Be alert at all times.
Change hydraulic oil filter after first 50 hours
of operation.
Follow the lubrication instructions and charts
close-
STARTING THE ENGINE NOTE If engine has not been
operated for a period of time or the luel tank
has run dry, prime the fuel lever up or down to
push the diesel fuel into the iniector pump.
After priming tuel pump, be sure the primer lever
is in the downposilion. It the primer lever is
left in the up" position, the fuel pump is
inoperative.
Engine After the first 100 hours of service
change the en- gine oil and oil filter.
Thereafter change the filter at the normal
interval. If, during the break-in period only, it
is necessary to add engine oil, use SAE 10W-20
Torq- Gard Supreme or the proper single viscosity
engine oil meeting specification MIL-L-46152 or
designated for API Service CC/SD. See page 20.
It may be necessary to bleed the entire fuel
system. It so, refer to page 54.
CAUTION Before starting the windrower engine, be
sure there is plenty of ventila- tion. Never
operate the windrower engine in a closed shed
or garage.
BEFORE-OPERATION CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS Careful
inspection and service of the windrower before
starting work each day will prevent needless
delays and possible breakdowns in the field. Make
the following checks and adjustments
1. Pull master control lever to neutral position,
and make sure the steering wheel is in neutral
position. Make certain the platform drive clutch
is disengaged.
CAUTION Never operate the windrower until all
safety shields are in place and secured.
2. Move throttle to halfway forward.

1. Lubricate windrower according to lubrication
   charts. (See page 22.)
2. Fil fuel tank with a good grade of fuel
   (capacity ot tank is 37 U.S. gallons 140 I).
   (See page 28.)

14
Operation 11
OPERATING THE WINDROWER For forward travel, push
the master control lever forward. For reverse,
move master control lever out and back.
3. Turn ignition switch to ST" position until
engine starts.
NOTE. It starter is not actuated, check
adjustment of neutral starting switch. (See page
42.)
Trim steering is accomplished by turning steering
wheel right or left.
IMPORTANT When starting the engine, never hold
the key in START position for more than 30
seconds at a time. If the engine does not start
within 30 seconds, allow at least 2 minutes for
proper cooling of the starter. Be sure to pause a
few seconds after a false start to make certain
that the starter has stopped completely before
another start is attempted.
Spin turning is accomplished by placing master
control lever in neutral position and turning
wheel the desired direction. The speed of the
turn is determined by the amount of rotation of
the steering wheel.
As the master control lever is moved forward the
axis of the spin moves to the slower side. Wheels
move in opposite direction, but at a different
speed.
4. After engine starts, adjust engine speed with
throttle control lever.
Setting the master control lever to approximately
3 mph allows the driving wheel to pivot the
windrower around the stopped wheel.
If engine fails to start, see Trouble Shooting,
page 83.
5. Make certain the oil pressure and the
alternator indicator light goes off. If not, stop
engine and deter- mine the cause.
From approximately 3 mph upward the wheels turn
in the same direction but at a different speed,
resulting in a U turn. The faster the ground
speed the less severe the turn.
IMPORTANT Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
Prolonged idling may cause the engine coolant
temperature to fall below its normal range. This
will promote rapid accumulation of engine sludge
and unburned fuel in the exhaust system.
CAUTION Steering is reversed when
backing machine. Place hand on bottom
half of steering wheel and rotate in direction of
desired turn.
STOPPING THE ENGINE Move master control lever to
neutral position and disengage platform drive
clutch.
To increase ground speed, push master control
lever forward. To decrease ground speed or stop,
pull lever rearward. Always operate engine speed
at full throttle.
Set engine at slow idle speed and allow engine to
run at this speed for a few minutes before
turning key switch off.
To lower cutting platform, press on top of
platform lift pedal. To raise cutting platform,
press on bottom of platform lift pedal. NOTE To
raise or lower right-hand end of platform
individually, press the platform tilt pedal.
After stopping the engine, remove the key from
the switch to prevent tampering and unauthorized
opera- tion. Removing the key also prevents
battery discharge if the switch is accidentally
left in the on position.
To lower reel, press down on top of reel height
control pedal. To raise reel, press down on
bottom of reel height control pedal.
TIRES Proper inflation is essential to the long
life of a tire. Check tire pressure frequently
and inflate or deflate tires to obtain proper air
pressure as given on page 118.
CAUTION Never dismount from the win- drower or
leave it parked without using parking brake.
Always place master control lever in rear
position and shut off engine.

PRESSURIZER SYSTEM The pressurized system
consists of two rotating cage-type fans (A), an
electric motor (B), two louvered air outlets (C),
with air deflectors (D) (snapped into the air
outlets) and a control switch (F). The
pressurizer fans (A), when activated by the
control switch (F), increase the pressure inside
the cab. With the higher pressure inside the cab,
air and dust will not move from outside the cab
to inside the cab. The air-conditioner
temperature control switch (E) controls the
temperature inside the cab. The louvered air
outlets (C) are also used to direct air flow from
the air conditioner.

Maximum Air Recirculator
The air conditioner system consists of a compres-
sor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve,
eva- porator, hoses, and a thermostatic-type
control switch.
The air conditioner is operated by a
thermostatic- type switch which can be adjusted
for a definite cooling range since it is
connected to the evaporator.
The refrigerant comes into the compressor as a
low-pressure gas, is compressed, and moves out of
the compressor as a high-pressure gas. It then
flows to the condenser where the gas condenses to
a liquid, giving off its heat to the outside air,
as air drawn by the engine fan, passes through
the condenser. The high- pressure liquid moves to
the receiver-drier whére a drying agent removes
moisture from the liquid. The receiver-drier also
stores a quantity of refrigerant to increase
capacity of the system. The high-pressure liquid
moves to the expansion valve which restricts
liquid flow, thus lowering its pressure. The
low-pres- sure liquid moves to the evaporator
where heat from inside the cab moves into the
low-pressure liquid, changing the liquid to a
low-pressure gas. This low- pressure gas returns
to the compressor where the cycle is repeated.
ADoor
Under normal operating conditions, the normal air
recirculator will provide sufficient cooling.
1n those conditions which require increased
cooling, open the door (A) on the maximum air
recirculator"at the rear of cab.
The radiator Tan pulls air through the condenser
and out the engine compartment. The efficiency of
the condenser can be impaired due to dirt or
chaff buildup therefore, it is necessary to keep
the condenser and radiator clean. IMPORTANT The
pressurizer system must be in operation when the
air conditioner is in use. The air conditioner
requires 56 ounces (1.6 kg) of Refrigerant 12 to
completely charge the system.
19
16 Operation
TRANSPORTING
If possible, the windrower should be transported
under its own power or on a truck.
IMPORTANT Do not tow windrower faster than 20
mph (32 km/h). To disengage drive wheels for
towing purposes, remove lock plate on rear of
each final drive housing. Turn each throwout
shaft so that the flats on shaft line up with
other tapped hole in housing, and install lock
plate in new position. Be sure to disengage both
final drive housings. IMPORTANT Always install
lock plate to be sure the drive is fully engaged
or disengaged. Damage will result if drive is not
fully meshed. CAUTION When driving the windrower
on a road or highway at night or during the day,
use warning lights and devices for
adequate warning to the operators of other
vehicles. In this regard, check local
governmental regulations. Various devices are
available from your John Deere dealer. Among
these is the SMV (Slow-Mov- ing Vehicle) emblem.
A bracket is included with each emblem so that it
can be attached vertically to the mounting on the
caster wheel pivot.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION Operating a windrower in
cold weather requires special preparation. If
proper precautions are taken, the windrower will
give just as good service in cold weather as it
will under warmer conditions.
Add antifreeze solution slowly until the level is
ap- proximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) below the bottom
of the filler neck.
NOTE All machines are shipped from factory with
antifreeze in radiator.
Main Drive Gear Case and Final Drives SAE 90-140
API GL5 gear lubricant is recommend- ed for year
round use however, if oil is too heavy, thin
with SAE 10W oil.
Cold Weather Starting Cold weather starting can
be made easier by con- necting an additional
12-volt battery in parallel with the 12-volt
battery on the windrower.
Hydraulic System and Engine Crankcase Use the
grade of oil in the hydraulic system and
crankcase as recommended in the lubrication
chart. Lubricants of the correct viscosity are
necessary for proper protection.
CAUTION Gas given off by batteries is explosive.
To avoid injury or battery dam- age, avoid sparks
near the batteries.
Make sure all electrical switches or accessories
are turned off and alternator is disconnected.
Make the last connection or the first
disconnection at some point away from the battery.
Before operating machine, actuate all hydraulic
controls slowly to circulate the warm oil through
the entire system.
The first jumpef cable should connect the
positive ( ) terminal of the booster battery to
the positive () terminal of the windrower
battery. The second umper cable should first be
connected to the negative ( ) terminal of the
booster battery and then to some point on the
windrower frame. It is important that this fourth
and last connection be made away from the
windrower battery to avoid the fire and explosion
hazard caused by sparks.
Fuel System Use winter-grade fuel. Fill the fuel
tank at the end of each day's run to prevent
moisture from condensing in the fuel tank.
Battery (Negative Ground) When the temperature
drops below freezing, take precautions to avoid
damage to the battery cells from freezing. A
badly discharged battery freezes more quickly
than one that is well charged.
After booster battery is properly hooked up,
connect alternator and start engine.
HOT WEATHER OPERATION Protect the windrower
engine cooling system against corrosive action
by using Summer Engine Coolant Conditioner.
In freezing weather, do not add water to the
battery unless engine is going to be run. Water
will readily freeze because it will not mix with
the electrolyte until the generator passes a
charging current through the battery.
Engine Cooling System To prevent freezing when
temperature is 32F (0C) or lower, use an
ethylene glycol base antifreeze con- taining rust
inhibitors.
The Summer Engine Coolant Conditioner is avail-
able under Part No. T19566, and may be purchased
from your John Deere dealer.
IMPORTANT Never use calcium chloride solu- tion
in the radiator. It is harmful to metal.
