5.3 Header Safety Props

Safety props are located on both header lift cylinders on the windrower.

DANGER

To avoid bodily injury from fall of raised header, always engage safety props when working on or around
raised header.

1. Start engine, and press HEADER UP (B) switch to

raise header to maximum height.

2. If one end of the header does not raise fully, the lift

cylinders require re-phasing. If re-phasing is needed,
proceed as follows:

both cylinders stop moving.

b. Continue to hold the switch for 3–4 seconds.

c. Cylinders are phased.
