California Proposition 65 Warning

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and

other reproductive harm. Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead components. Wash hands

after handling.

The information in this publication is based on the information available and in effect at the time of printing. MacDon

Industries, Ltd. makes no representation or warranty of any kind, whether expressed or implied, with respect to the

information in this publication. MacDon Industries, Ltd. reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Introduction

This instruction manual contains information on the MacDon M1240 Windrower, which when coupled with one of

MacDon’s A40DX Auger Headers, D1X or D1XL Series Draper Headers, R113 Rotary Disc Headers, or R216 Rotary Disc

Headers, provides a package designed to cut and lay a variety of crops into fluffy, uniform windrows.

Carefully read all the material provided before attempting to use the machine.

If you follow the instructions provided, your windrower will work well for many years.

Use this manual as your first source of information about the machine. If you follow the instructions provided, it will work

well for many years. Contact your Dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of this manual.

When setting up the machine or making adjustments, review and follow the recommended machine settings in all relevant

MacDon publications. Failure to do so may compromise the machine function and machine life and may result in a

hazardous situation.

MacDon provides warranty for Customers who operate and maintain their equipment as described in this manual. A copy

of the MacDon Industries Limited Warranty Policy, which explains this warranty, should have been provided to you by your

Dealer. Damage resulting from any of the following conditions will void the warranty:

• Accident

• Misuse

• Abuse

• Improper maintenance or neglect

• Abnormal or extraordinary use of the machine

• Failure to use the machine, equipment, component, or part in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions

The following conventions are used in this document:

• The M1240 Windrower is Dual Direction

®

, meaning the windrower can be driven in cab-forward or engine-forward

modes. Right and left designations are therefore determined from the operator’s position, facing the direction of travel.

This manual uses the terms “right cab-forward”, “left cab-forward ”, “right engine-forward”, and “left engine-forward”

when referencing specific locations on the machine.

• Unless otherwise noted, use the standard torque values provided in Chapter 8.1 Torque Specifications, page 427 of this

document.

Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to pass on to new Operators or Owners. A manual storage case is

located in the cab.

Call your MacDon Dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of this manual.

NOTE:

Keep your MacDon publications up-to-date. The most current version can be downloaded from our website

(www.macdon.com) or from our Dealer-only site (https://portal.macdon.com) (login required).

This document is available in English only.

215031 iii Revision B

Whole Body and Hand-Arm Vibration Levels

The weighted root mean square acceleration, to which the whole body is subjected, ranges from 0.46 to 1.52 m/s

2

as

measured on a representative machine during typical operations and analyzed in accordance with ISO 5008.

During the same operations, the weighted root means square hand-arm vibration was less than 1.79 m/s

2

when analyzed in

accordance with ISO 5349. These acceleration values depend on the ground roughness, operating speed, and the

operator's experience, weight, and driving habits.

Noise Levels

The A-weighted sound pressure levels inside the operator's station ranged from 69.3 to 69.7 dB(A) as measured on several

representative machines in accordance with ISO 5131. The sound pressure level depends upon the engine speed and load,

field and crop conditions, and the type of platform used.
