OPERATION
Start-Up Procedure
DANGER: Avoid possible injury or
death from a runaway machine.
Do not start engine by shorting across starter
terminals. Machine will start in gear and move
if normal starting circuitry is bypassed.
This machine has two safety devices which
prevent the engine from starting unless the
variable speed lever is in neutral, the steering
wheel is locked in the neutral position, and
the header drive switch is in the OFF
position. Under no circumstances are these
circuits to be deliberately rewired so that the
engine can be started with controls out of
neutral.
Start engine only from operator's seat with
controls in neutral. NEVER start engine while
standing on ground. Machine will start in gear
and move if normal starting circuitry is
bypassed.
Before starting engine, be sure there is plenty
of ventilation to avoid asphyxiation.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow machine to start engine.
Damage to hydrostatic drives will result.
ADJUSTING CONTROLS
1. Fasten seat belt.
2. Move header drive switch (B) to off position.
