4.5.3 Header Drive

All header drive controls are located on the operator's console and on the ground speed lever (GSL) handle.

Some controls are optional equipment and may not be present in your unit. Some controls may be installed, but will be

nonfunctional for certain headers.

The HEADER ENGAGE switch engages and disengages the header drive.

Ensure that all bystanders have cleared the area.

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.
