5.5 Operator’s Station
5.5.1 Seat Belts
Seat belts are an important component of the windrower’s operator safety system. The following checks and
service points will ensure that seat belts are functioning properly.
• Keep sharp edges and items that can cause damage away from the belts.
• Check belts, buckles, retractors, tethers, slack take-up system, and mounting bolts for damage.
• Check that bolts are tight on the seat bracket or mounting.
• Replace all parts that have damage or wear.
• Replace belts that have cuts that can weaken the belt.
• 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.
5.5.2 Safety Systems
Perform the following checks on the operator’s presence and engine lock-out systems every year or every
500 hours—whichever occurs first.
Checking Operator Presence System
The operator presence system is a safety feature designed to deactivate or alert selected systems when the
Operator is not seated at the operator’s station.
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared the area.
1. With the windrower engine running, place the ground speed lever (GSL) in NEUTRAL and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
2. With everyone clear of the machine, engage header drive. Refer to 3.18.1 Header Drive Switch, page 70.
3. With header drive running, stand up out of the seat. In approximately 5 seconds, the header should shut off. If
NOT, the Operator Presence System requires adjustment. See your MacDon Dealer.
4. To restart the header, move the HEADER DRIVE switch to OFF position and back to the ON position again.
5. With the engine running, position the GSL in NEUTRAL and in N-DETENT. Refer to 3.17 Windrower Controls,
page 68.
6. Swivel the operator’s station, but do NOT lock into position.
7. Move GSL out of N-DETENT. The engine should shut down and the display will flash LOCK SEAT BASE →
CENTER STEERING WHEEL → NOT IN NEUTRAL.
8. Swivel and lock the operator’s station and the display should return to normal. If the engine does NOT shut
down, the seat position switches require adjustment. See your MacDon Dealer.
9. With the windrower moving at less than 8 km/h (5 mph), stand up out of the seat. The cab display module
(CDM) will flash NO OPERATOR on the upper line and ENGINE SHUT DOWN 5…4…3…2…1…0 on the lower
line accompanied by a steady tone. At 0, the engine shuts down. If the engine does NOT shut down, the
Operator Presence System requires adjustment. See your MacDon Dealer.
