Revision A
Spin Turning
Hydrostatic steering provides significantly more maneuverability than mechanical steering.
CAUTION
Be sure the area is clear before making turns. Although the windrower pivots on the spot, the ends of the header travel
faster and in a large arc.

1.
Move ground speed lever (GSL) (A) out of PARK towards the
seat and hold.
2.
Slowly turn the steering wheel in the desired direction of
turn. The windrower will pivot between the drive wheels.
3.
To increase the turn radius, slowly move the GSL away from
NEUTRAL. Remember that this will increase ground speed
as well.
4.
To stop the turn, slowly turn the steering wheel back to its
centered position.
Stopping
Move the ground speed lever on the console to the park position to stop.
WARNING
Do NOT move the ground speed lever (GSL) rapidly back to NEUTRAL. You may be thrown forward by a sudden stop
and the wheels may skid, reducing steering control. Always wear a seat belt when operating the windrower.
CAUTION
Park on a level surface with the ground speed lever (GSL) in the PARK position and the steering wheel in the locked
(centered) position. Wait for the Harvest Performance Tracker (HPT) to beep and display a red P symbol to confirm that
the parking brake is engaged.
