Header standard safety latch

The left-hand cylinder is standard fitted with a safety
latch which must be lowered onto the cylinder rod to
prevent accidental lowering of the header.
Whenever work is carried out underneath the header,
the latch must be lowered onto the cylinder rod as
shown at (1).
To engage or disengage the header safety latch is it
necessary to lift the straw elevator to its maximum
height.
To do this job, proceed as follows:
1. Select field mode using the field/road mode
selector switch.
2. Move the straw elevator up by pressing on the top
of the header height rocker switch (3) on the
multifunction handle until the header stops near
its maximum height.
3. Release the switch and press again for a
minimum of 1.5 seconds. The header will now
move quickly until its maximum height.
4. Place the header safety latch over the cylinder
rod.
NOTE: Never use the header safety latch (1) as a
support for the header when travelling along public
roads otherwise damage may occur to the cylinder.
When not in use, the header safety latch (1) must be
stored as shown.
