5.6 OPERATOR PRESENCE
The Operator Presence System is a safety
feature that is designed to deactivate or alarm
selected systems when the operator is not
seated at the operator’s station. These systems
include:
• Header Drive
• Transmission
• Engine
5.6.1 Header Drive
• Requires the operator to be seated in the
seat in order to engage the header drive.
• Power is maintained to the header drive for
5 seconds after the operator leaves the seat,
and then the header shuts down.
• If the seat switch is open for more than 5
seconds and the seat switch is closed again,
it requires the operator to move the header
engage switch to “OFF” position and back to
the “ON” position again to restart the
header.
5.6.2 Transmission
• If the operator leaves the seat and the
transmission is not locked in neutral, after 2
seconds the lower display will flash “NOT IN
NEUTRAL” accompanied by an alarm.
5.6.3 Engine
• The engine will not be allowed to start when
the header drive switch is engaged.
• The engine will not be allowed to start when
the transmission is not locked in neutral.
• The engine will shutdown when the
windrower is moving at 5 mph (8 km/h) or
less and the operator leaves the seat.
