Operator’s Manual and Reference Guide
9 - Hydraulics
The Swather uses windrower hydraulics to power the various systems. Hydraulic pressure ows to
the manifold block, which regulates the ow by sending the majority to the knife drive then on to the
reel circuit. An additional smaller secondary ow is directed to the draper circuit from the manifold
block. The system is protected by a pressure relief valve which should be set at 3000 psi. Return-
ow oil is ltered before returning to the windrower.
JD windrowers require the forward side of the pump to be used to run the table
hydraulics.
Manifold Block Cartridge Locations
Identication stamps can be found on individual parts as well as port stamps on the Manifold Block
itself.
Flow Controls
An 11 GPM (41.6 LPM) ow control is used for the drapers, while an 18 GPM (68.1 lpm) ow control
is used for the reel. The “R” (control ow) port of the draper ow control goes to the draper motors.
The "R" (control ow) port of the reel ow control goes to the reel motor. The "T" (excess ow) port
of both ow controls diverts oil directly to the return circuit.
The windrower relief valve is set to 5000 psi. Care must be used when working
around pressurized hydraulic systems.
Quick couplers must be securely connected before the windrower is started, and
power is applied to the swather. Serious injury, and/or damage to equipment may
result from poor connections.
