Checking Safety System - MacDon M Series Unloading And Assembly Instructions

5.10 Checking Safety System

Ensure the battery disconnect switch is in the POWER ON position. Refer to
page 334.
A properly functioning system should operate as follows:
• The starter should engage only when the ground speed lever (GSL) is in N-DETENT, the steering wheel is locked
in the center position, and the header drive switch is in the OFF position. 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 out of N-DETENT.
• The machine should NOT move with the engine running and with the steering wheel centered when the GSL is
pulled straight out of N-DETENT (not in forward or reverse).
IMPORTANT:
If the safety system does not function as described, refer to the windrower technical manual.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove
the key from the ignition before leaving the operator's seat for any reason.
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared the area.
Perform the following procedures to ensure the safety system is operating properly:
1. Shut down the engine and engage header drive switch. Try starting the engine and confirm the cab display
module (CDM) displays HEADER ENGAGED on the upper line and DISENGAGE HEADER on the lower line.
IMPORTANT:
If the engine turns over, the safety system requires adjustment. Refer to the windrower technical manual for
adjustment procedures.
