Practice Safe Service Procedures

Header Lift Cylinder Stops

Cylinder stops are located on both header lift cylinders on the windrower. ALWAYS engage the lift cylinder stops when working on or around a raised header. It is not recommended to work under a raised header but if the situation should become necessary, the lift cylinder stops MUST be engaged to avoid death or serious injury.

CAUTION: To prevent bodily injury or damage to machine, do the following before servicing or repairing the windrower:

  • Park on level surface.
  • Place GSL in N-Detent.
  • Check to ensure steering wheel is centered and locked.
  • Disengage platform drive.
  • Wait until all moving parts have stopped.
  • Lower the platform to the ground. If it is necessary to work underneath the platform, fully raise platform and engage header lift cylinder stops to prevent accidental lowering.
  • Idle hot engine for three to five minutes prior to shut down.
  • Turn off engine and remove key.
  • Block both sides of drive tires or rear tires as required.
  • Place master battery disconnect switch to the OFF position.
  • Disconnect the battery ground cable as required.
