Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting belts and hoses for wear, cleaning air filters, and lubricating moving parts according to the service manual.
Ensure the battery is charged and connections are clean. Check the fuel level and lines for blockages. Inspect the ignition switch and starter motor for faults.
Adjust the cutting height by using the hydraulic controls in the cab, following the instructions in the operator’s manual for precise settings.
After use, remove debris from the cutting area, wash the exterior with water and mild detergent, and dry thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid using high-pressure washers on sensitive components.
Check for hydraulic fluid leaks, inspect hoses for damage, and ensure the hydraulic fluid level is adequate. If problems persist, consult a professional technician.
Uneven windrows can be caused by dull blades, incorrect speed settings, or improper adjustment of the windrower components. Ensure blades are sharp and settings are adjusted correctly.
To improve fuel efficiency, perform regular maintenance, ensure tires are properly inflated, operate at optimal speeds, and avoid unnecessary idling.
Excessive vibration can be due to imbalanced or damaged blades, worn bearings, or loose components. Inspect and replace or repair as needed.
Ensure operators are trained, keep all guards and shields in place, and conduct regular safety checks. Provide personal protective equipment and follow all operational guidelines.
Clean the windrower thoroughly, perform needed maintenance, drain fuel systems, disconnect the battery, and store in a dry, sheltered location. Cover exposed parts to protect from dust and moisture.
