I. PERFORM SAFETY SYSTEM
CHECKS
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared
the area.
A properly functioning system should operate as
follows:
•
The starter should engage ONLY when the
GSL is in N-DETENT, steering wheel locked
in the CENTER position, and the header drive
switch is in the OFF position.
•
Under the above conditions, the brake should
engage, and the machine should not move
after engine start-up.
•
The steering wheel should not lock with the
engine running, and the GSL is out of the N-
DETENT.
•
The machine should not move with the engine
running, and with the steering wheel still
centered, when the GSL is pulled straight out
of N-DETENT (not in forward or reverse).
If the system does not function as described
above, refer to the Technical Service Manual.
a. With the engine shut down and the header drive
switch engaged, try to start the engine. The CDM
will display “HEADER ENGAGED” on the upper

If the engine turns over, the system requires
adjustment. Refer to the Technical Service
Manual.
b. With the engine shut down, do the following:
1. Open engine compartment hood.
2. Pry the steering interlock away from pintle
arms by inserting a wedge or pry bar between
one of the interlock channels and pintle arm.

mm) thick between the other channel and
pintle arm, so that the interlock channel is
clear of the pintle arm.
