57.5 OPERATOR’S STATION
57.5.1 Seat Belts
Keep the operator and trainer seat belts in good
condition as follows:
a. Keep sharp edges and items that can cause
damage away from the belts.
b. From time to time, check belts, buckles,
retractors, tethers, slack take-up system and
mounting bolts for damage.
c. Replace all parts that have damage or wear.
d. Replace belts that have cuts that can weaken
the belt.
e. Check that bolts are tight on the seat bracket or
mounting.
f. Keep seat belts clean and dry. Clean only with a
soap solution and warm water. DO NOT use
bleach or dye on the belts, as this may weaken
the material.
57.5.2 Safety Systems
Perform the following checks on the operator’s
presence and engine lock-out systems annually
or every 500 hours whichever occurs first.
57.5.2.1 Operator’s Presence System
a. With the windrower engine running, place the
GSL in Neutral and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
b. With everyone clear of the machine, engage
header drive switch;
1. After header drives are running, stand up
out of the seat. In approximately 5 seconds
the header should shut off.
2. If not, the operator presence system
requires adjustment. See your MacDon
dealer.
NOTE
To restart the header, the operator must
move the header engage switch to “OFF”
position and back to the “ON” position
again.
c. With the windrower engine running, place the
GSL in Neutral but out of N-DETENT;
1. Stand up. After 2 seconds, the lower display
will flash “NOT IN NEUTRAL” accompanied
by a continuous loud tone. Move the GSL
into N-DETENT to cancel the alarm.
2. If there is no warning, the operator presence
system requires adjustment. See your
MacDon dealer.
d. With the windrower in forward motion at
approximately 2-3 mph;
1. Stand up out of the seat.
2. The CDM will flash “NO OPERATOR” on the
upper line, and “ENGINE SHUTS DOWN
5…4…3…2…1…0” accompanied by a
steady tone.
3. If not, the operator presence system
requires adjustment. See your MacDon
dealer.
57.5.2.2 Engine Interlock
a. With the engine shut down and the header drive
switch engaged, try to start the engine. If the
engine turns over, the system requires
adjustment. See your MacDon dealer.
b. With the engine shut down, steering wheel not
centered, and the GSL in neutral but not in N-
DETENT, try to start the engine. The CDM will
flash “NOT IN NEUTRAL” on the display upper
line, and “CENTER STEERING WHEEL” on the
lower line, accompanied by a short beep with
each flash, and the engine should not turn over.
If the engine turns over, the system requires
adjustment. See your MacDon dealer.
A properly functioning system should operate as
follows, if not, see your MacDon dealer.
• The starter should engage ONLY when the
GSL is in N-DETENT, steering wheel locked
in the CENTER position, and the header
drive switch is in the OFF position.
• Under the above conditions, 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 is out of the N-
DETENT.
• The machine should not move with the
engine running and with the steering wheel
still centered, when the GSL is pulled
straight out of N-DETENT (not in forward or
reverse).
