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:
a. Press and hold the HEADER UP (B) switch until
both cylinders stop moving.
b. Continue to hold the switch for 3–4 seconds.
c. Cylinders are phased.
3. Pull lever (A), and rotate toward header to lower safety
prop (B) onto cylinder. Repeat for opposite cylinder.
