2 GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction Thank you for taking the time to participate in this Case IH hay equipment clinic. Our goal is to enhance your awareness of product features and function, as well as certain maintenance procedures and products that will prolong the life of your windrower. This Productivity Guide contains information about maintenance and adjustments of self-propelled windrowers, sickle headers, and rotary disc headers. This manual is not intended to replace the Operator's or Repair Manuals. Rather, it is a quick reference guide that will supplement these manuals. Helpful hints and operating suggestions in this Guide have been assembled by listening to the experiences of windrower owners just like you. If your windrower is operated or maintained by more than one person, be sure to share helpful hints in this Guide with all operators to keep your machine working at top efficiency. CONTENTS Safety Service Inspections Controls/Electronic Display Windrower Operation Daily Maintenance Operation/Troubleshooting Maintenance/Optional Equipment Function The Case IH WDX 2 Series Self-Propelled Windrower is designed to harvest a variety of crops when combined with any of a number of header types. To further the flexibility of the WDX 2 Series, several header models and cutting widths are available for cutting hay crops including sickle bar with conditioner; and rotary disc cutter bed, with or without conditioner. Sickle bar draper, and specialty grass seed headers, both without conditioners, are available. Five models make up the WDX 2 Series, equipped with four or six cylinder diesel engines ranging from 98 to 225 horsepower. All units are equipped with individual front wheel hydrostatic drive and steering for optimum performance and handling. Sickle hay headers are available from 12' 3" to 18' 3", and disc hay headers are provided in 15' 5" and 18' widths. Draper headers from 18' to 36' can be used on the WDX 2 Series. WDX 2 Series Windrowers are equipped with a Windrower Electronic System (WES) that displays engine, header and hydraulic system information to the operator during operation. The WES sends electrical signals to control hydraulic valves, turn signals, brake lights and the engine fuel solenoid. 2

3 SAFETY A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions. Be sure to read the full list of precautionary statements in the Operator's Manual. If your Operator's Manual becomes lost or damaged, ask your dealer to get you a new manual for your unit. We value our customers, and hope that each season is safe and productive. Sometimes, in the rush to get the job done, safety vigilance fails and the risk of an accident soars. Never attempt to save a moment by compromising safety the result can cost more time than ever was saved and sometimes the cost may be immeasurable. Here are some of the most important safety precautions that pertain to normal operation. General Safety Rules Read the Operator's Manual thoroughly before starting, operating, servicing or carrying out any other operation on the machine. The time invested in reviewing the manual will pay off in terms of time saved later. Read all the safety decals on the machine and follow the instructions. Immediately replace any decals that are missing or damaged. The windrower should be operated only by responsible individuals, who are familiar with the machine. Avoid fire hazards by keeping the windrower clean. Inspect the unit daily for signs of hydraulic leaks, and have leaks repaired before further use. A fire extinguisher should be mounted on the windrower, easily accessible from the ground and away from moving parts and areas where debris is likely to accumulate. The presence of hydraulic and lubricating oil dictate that an ABC extinguisher is the best choice. To stop the windrower, return the Multi-Function Propulsion Lever (MFPL) to neutral, engage the parking brake, center the steering wheel to the locked position, and stop the engine before leaving the seat. The neutral lock should always be engaged when the windrower is stopped. Always use the seat belt when operating the windrower. Be sure everyone is clear of the windrower before starting the engine. The parking brake must be engaged, MFPL in neutral and the steering wheel centered before the engine will start. When going down a steep grade, pull the MFPL back toward neutral to slow ground speed. Place the range selector switch into the field range position on very steep slopes. Moving the steering wheel from center with the MFPL in neutral will allow the windrower to turn in place. Set the parking brake to keep the windrower from turning when the MFPL is in neutral. When moving forward, the windrower turns the direction the steering wheel is turned. When moving in reverse, the windrower turns OPPOSITE the direction the wheel is turned. In reverse, hold the steering wheel at the back of the rim and move your hand in the direction you want to go. (At the bottom, or closest to you.) When driving the windrower on the road or highway, use a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem and the proper accessory lights for adequate warning to the operators of other vehicles. Check local traffic regulations concerning the use of warning devices. DO NOT use rear work lights when operating on a public road, as they could be mistaken for an oncoming vehicle. See the Operator's Manual for complete safety information for transporting or hauling the windrower. Never idle the engine in a closed area. Harmful and potentially lethal exhaust gases may accumulate. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and deadly; and is often present in exhaust fumes. Header locks are built into the header lift system to lock the header in the raised position. IMPORTANT: Lock the header on both sides before working under a raised header, adjusting skid shoes, or prior to transporting the unit on a public road. Disengage the header drive, lower or lock the header up, shut off the engine, and engage the parking brake before attempting any adjustments or trying to disconnect the header. 3

4 SAFETY General Safety Rules (cont.) If stones and other foreign objects are carried into the conditioner rolls, the objects can be thrown possibly resulting in physical injury. Use care when driving the windrower without the header. Steering is much more responsive when the header is not installed. Be sure all guards and shields are in place before operating the machine. Never modify or revise guards or shields. Never operate the windrower engine while it is being refueled. Do not smoke in the refueling area. When using battery jumper cables, the last connection must be made away from the windrower battery to avoid sparks which may ignite explosive battery gases and result in an explosion and fire. It is dangerous to remove the radiator cap while the system is hot because the system is under pressure. Let the system cool, or cover the cap with a rag, and slowly turn the cap to the first stop to allow the pressure to escape before removing the cap completely. Never use ether starting fluid. An explosion will result that could severely damage the engine. Windrower Service and Maintenance Safety Batteries normally produce explosive gases that can cause personal injury. Do not allow flames or sparks to come near the batteries. Always wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery, and provide adequate ventilation. Lift a plastic-cased battery with a battery carrier or with gloved hands on opposite corners of the battery. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. In case of contact with skin or eyes, flush the affected area with water for five minutes and seek medical attention immediately. If acid is swallowed, call a physician immediately. Avoid contact with hot engine oil. If the engine is extremely hot, allow oil to cool to a moderately warm temperature before attempting to drain the oil. Whenever jacking under the main drive wheels, be sure the machine is on level ground and securely blocked to prevent the tail wheels from swiveling. Diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Serious infection or reaction can develop if medical treatment is not administered immediately. Because of the high pressure in the hydraulic system, use only genuine factory parts and hoses for repairing these systems. Refer service operations to dealer technicians who are trained in safe service procedures. Relief valves in the hydrostatic drive system and in the header drive system are not adjustable. Check with your dealer's service department if you have problems with the hydraulic or hydrostatic system. When adjusting the friction on the MFPL, always lock the jam nuts together once this adjustment is completed. Failure to do so could lock the MFPL. The header flotation accumulators store hydraulic fluid under pressure. Relieve pressure at the main control block bleed valve before loosening any hydraulic fittings in the header lift system. Contact your Case IH dealer for assistance and additional information. If welding must be performed on either the tractor or the attached header, the battery ground strap must be disconnected from the battery to prevent damage to the windrower electronic system and other electrical components. Reinstall the battery ground strap when welding is complete. DO NOT weld on wheels. Welding on wheels may cause high stress and a wheel failure. DO NOT weld on wheels with a mounted tire. Welding on wheels with a mounted tire may cause the tire to burst, causing death or serious injury. 4

5 SERVICE INSPECTIONS Take Full Advantage of its Capabilities Have you, or did someone you know purchase a new windrower in the last few years and continued to use it in much the same way as the windrower it replaced? Many times operators do not fully realize and take advantage of modern features. As a result of not fully utilizing the windrower s features, the owner may not be getting all the value from the money spent. Many of the items suggested in this booklet can be completed by the owner when preparing for the season or the operator when starting a new field. Other adjustments, service procedures, or repairs might be more effectively completed by your dealer s trained service technicians. Maintenance Choices, Being Prepared for DEMANDING Conditions Ask your Case IH dealer about Customized Maintenance Inspections. It is a proactive way to be sure your windrower will operate at its best possible performance when you need it. Customized Maintenance Inspections include a visual and functional inspection of your windrower. They can be used as a pre-season or as a post-season tune-up. Benefits include: Increased productivity Less downtime during the season Lower operating costs Improved fuel economy Documented maintenance Service by Case IH-trained technicians Service with Genuine Case IH lubricants, kits, and parts The combined advantages of Customer Maintenance Inspection services should result in a lower cost of ownership and higher resale values. Documented Service Promotes High Resale Value When you schedule your equipment for annual maintenance inspection services, your Case IH dealership places annual UPTIME Action Maintenance decals on your equipment after each inspection (see figure 5.1), distinguishing your commitment to keep your machines running in top condition. Not only does annual maintenance support your productivity in the field, each decal symbolizes completed service which may increase the resale value of your equipment. Because Case IH technicians use Customized Maintenance Inspection checklists for each inspection, you can rest assured that the service is thorough and nothing is overlooked. Figure 5.1 5

Basic steps include: Apply a liberal coating of multipurpose grease to the lift cups on the windrower lift arms Position the lift cups directly below the lift bushings on the header Raise the lift arms until the lift cups are seated on the bushings Remove the pin holding the tilt cylinder in the storage position. The pin is used to connect tilt cylinder to header on sickle and disc headers. Draper headers use a separate pin. (Do not reinstall the pin in one of the holes on the cylinder support. The cylinder will be bent and damaged if the pin is installed in one of the support holes). Attach the tilt cylinder to the header Figure

12 WINDROWER OPERATION 12 Attaching the Header (cont.) Disc Header Tilt Cylinder Installation The cylinder is connected to the front hole on the header for most crop conditions (see figure 12.1). In severely lodged crop, or difficult cutting conditions, connect the cylinder to the rear hole on the header to provide a lower cutting height Continue with Header Installation: Raise the header and install the header lift locks Install the header lift arm retaining pins Connect hydraulic lines and the wire harness connector Remove the header lift lock pins Check and adjust the header flotation Header Flotation Hydraulic accumulators replace springs on the WDX Series flotation system. Four cylinder units are equipped with one accumulator, and 6 cylinder windrowers have two accumulators. Accumulator(s) are automatically charged when the header is lowered, and the header raise/lower switch is held in the lower position until the Charging Accumulators On-demand line disappears from the display (see figure 12.2). IMPORTANT - Be sure the header lift arms and center link (tilt cylinder) are completely installed and locked before charging accumulators. The header could be tipped forward unexpectedly if not properly connected. The header flotation is checked by observing the lifting force at each end of the header that will start to lift the header from the ground (see figure 12.3). Sickle and draper headers should be set so a lbs. force will lift the header Disc headers should be set so a lbs. force will lift the header Flotation is adjusted by pressing the increase or decrease side of the flotation switch(s) on the right hand console (see figure 12.4) Four cylinder windrowers have one flotation adjustment switch. Individual switches are provided for the right and left flotation cylinders on 6 cylinder models. IMPORTANT - On windrowers with the rear axle suspension system, pin both axles rigid before removing the header. Figure 12.1 Figure 12.2 Figure 12.3 Figure 12.4

13 WINDROWER OPERATION Header Operating Mode - Disc Headers Automatic Mode Standard Disc speed is set by the operator, and is maintained regardless of engine RPM or crop loading In heavy, difficult-to-cut crops, header speed will be maintained even if the engine lugs down In light, easy cutting crops, it is possible to reduce engine speed to reduce fuel consumption while maintaining the selected header speed Electronic Display reads actual disc RPM (Selection line 05) Sickle Headers Optional Automatic or Manual Header reel speed control is available to adapt WDX Windrowers equipped with sickle heads and hydraulic reel drive to specific crop conditions. Automatic Mode (Sickle Headers with Optional Hydraulic Reel Drive) Reel speed is synchronized with ground speed. As the MFPL is moved to increase or decrease speed, the reel responds to maintain the desired reel-to-ground speed ratio Electronic Display reads percentage of reel overspeed (Selection line 09, A indicates Auto mode) Manual Mode (Sickle Headers) The reel speed switch directly controls reel speed, which varies with engine speed Electronic Display reads actual reel RPM (Selection line 09, M indicates Manual mode) Selecting the Reel Operating Mode The reel Mode rocker switch is located in the Right Hand Console aft of the PTO switch, and can be placed in either the Auto or Manual mode 13

16 OPERATION/TROUBLESHOOTING Basic Windrower Adjustment Sickle Header Applications To obtain top performance from the self-propelled windrower, the following steps should be followed. Header Flotation The header flotation should be set so a lbs. lifting force at each end will start to lift the header from the ground (see figure 16.1). In rough or stony conditions, reduce header flotation force to lbs. Figure 16.1 If the header is too light, the header will bounce creating uneven cut height, poor crop feeding and poor windrow or swath appearance If the header is too heavy, the header will not float properly over obstacles causing cutter bar, guard and knife damage effecting guard/knife alignment and adjustment. This then will affect cutting and feeding of the crop. Cutting Height The cutting height is controlled by skid shoe height setting and cutter bar angle, adjusted with the header tilt cylinder (see figure 16.2). Note: Changing the cutterbar angle will change the header flotation. After adjusting the cutterbar angle, re-adjust the header flotation as required. Cutterbar Angle Normal cutting conditions Adjust the guard angle to the mid-tilt range Tough cutting conditions For down crop, increase the guard angle to maximum tilt For dead, wet undergrowth, reduce the guard angle to minimum tilt Rough or stony conditions Set the guard angle to minimum tilt Skid Shoe Settings Changing the skid shoe setting will change the header flotation. After adjusting the skid shoe setting, re-adjust the header flotation as required. Normal cutting conditions Set the skid shoes at the desired cutting height Tough cutting conditions For down crop, raise the skid shoes to lower cutting height to get under the down crop For dead, wet undergrowth, lower skid shoes to raise cutting height For rough or stony conditions Lower skid shoes to raise cutting height Figure

Proper shimming of the guards and hold-down clips is required, to allow the knives to overlap properly in the center of the cutter bar. (When shimmed properly the left knife assembly should be 0.120" lower than the right knife assembly). When removing and installing guards and knife hold-down clips, ensure that shims are re-installed properly Knife Hold-down Clip Adjustment HDX series headers with standard guards have adjustable hold-down clips spaced across the cutter bar. The lip at the rear edge of the clip holds the rear of the section in place (see figure 20.2).

The type and volume of crop will determine which is better. Paddles can be added or removed from the auger to aid in making windrows or swaths. The determining factors for adding or removing paddles are: header width, volume of crop, and windrow or swath width. For extra wide cut width, it is necessary to move the crop further into the center of the header for a uniform windrow or swath. Set your windrow or swath width and then add or remove paddles to obtain desired windrow or swath. The HDX162 headers do not come with the two outside paddles. The HDX182 headers have paddles on the outside. In some instances, lowering the push bar all the way down and slowing ground speed, in very tall timothy or cane crops may help feeding of crop.

24 OPERATION/TROUBLESHOOTING Basic Windrower Adjustments Disc Header Applications Header Flotation The header flotation should be set so that a lbs. force applied at each end of the header will start to lift it from the ground. DO NOT exceed 150 lbs. flotation force. Damage to the header may occur. If the header flotation is not set properly; the following conditions may be observed: If the header is too light, the header will bounce, creating uneven cut height, poor crop feeding and poor windrow or swath appearance If the header is too heavy, the header will not float properly over obstacles causing cutter bed, disc and knife damage, and subsequent cutting and feeding problems Cutting Height The cutting height is adjustable by changing the header angle. Header angle is adjustable between 2 and 8 with an approximate cutting height range of 1-1 /2 to 3 when the tilt cylinder is installed in the front hole on the header Placing the cylinder in the rear hole on the header changes tilt to 5 to 10, with approximate cutting height range of 1" to 2-1 /4" Minimum Tilt Used in stony field conditions When cutting new seeding, (first cutting) to prevent pulling the crop from the ground When longer stubble is desired Mid Position Tilt Used for normal crop conditions Maximum Tilt Used in tough cutting conditions Down crop conditions Dead, wet undergrowth conditions The high stubble kit can be installed to provide a higher cutting height for clipping pastures or for crops where higher stubble is desired. Cutter Bed Inspection IMPORTANT: Lock the header on both sides before working under a raised header, adjusting skid shoes, or prior to transporting the unit on a public road. The cutter bed should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent extensive repairs and down time (see figure 24.1). Check components for: Knives damage; broken, bent, missing and loose hardware Lifters damage; bent, cracked and loose or missing hardware Discs damage; bent, cracked and loose or missing hardware Disc timing discs should be tangent to each other. (If the discs are not timed properly, it may indicate internal cutter bed damage). Inspection Procedure Starting at one end of the cutter bed, try to rock each disc up and down. A small amount of movement, approximately 0.060", is normal. If excessive movement is determined, loose disc hub retaining hardware or top cap bearing wear or damage is indicated With gloved hands, start at one end of the cutter bed and work down the cutter bed, slowly rotate one disc while holding the adjacent disc against the direction of rotation If one disc suddenly moves or excessive free play is felt, internal wear or damage is indicated.
