OPERATION
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared the area.
IMPORTANT:
Remove protective cover from exhaust stack prior to
starting engine.
2. Start the engine and activate the header down
button (A) on the ground speed lever (GSL) to fully
retract header lift cylinders.
Figure 4.112: GSL
3. Activate the reel up switch (A) on the GSL to raise the
center-link until the hook is above the attachment pin
on the header.
IMPORTANT:
If the center-link is too low, it may contact the
header as the windrower approaches the header
for hookup.
Figure 4.113: GSL
4. Drive the windrower slowly forward until the boots (A)
enter the header legs (B). Continue driving slowly
forward until lift linkages contact the support plates in
the header legs and the header nudges forward.
5. Ensure the lift linkages are properly engaged in the
header legs and are contacting the support plates.
