5.2.4 Detaching D2 SP Series Draper Header

The instructions in this section outline how to properly detach the header from the windrower.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine and
remove the key before leaving the operator's seat, and always engage the safety props before going under the
machine for any reason.
DANGER
Ensure that all bystanders have cleared the area.
1. Clear all bystanders from the area.
2. Start the engine, and press HEADER UP button (A) on the
ground speed lever (GSL) to raise the header to maximum
height.
3. If one end of the header does NOT rise fully, rephase the
cylinders as follows:
a.
Press and hold HEADER UP (A) switch until both
cylinders stop moving.
b. Continue to hold the switch for 3–4 seconds. The
cylinders are now phased.
4. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from
the ignition.
5. Engage the safety props on both lift cylinders as follows:
a.
Pull lever (A) toward you to release it, then rotate it
toward the header to lower the safety prop onto the
cylinder.
b. Repeat the previous step for the opposite lift cylinder.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the safety props engage over the cylinder piston
rods. If the safety prop does NOT engage properly, raise the
header until the safety prop fits over the rod.
