NOTE: 525 and 530 MoCos use a limiter block (A) on cylinder arm to limit cylinder travel.

Mower-conditioner without CV can be operated in a range of tractor centered on windrow, to tractor running against standing crop.

NOTE: If equipped with CV platform driveline, mower-conditoner may be operated intermittently in any tongue position. Prolonged operation in transport position is not recommended as it can lead to CV heat build-up and reduced life.

2. Activate tongue swing circuit to move mower-conditioner to desired field operating position.
