10. With the windrower moving at more than 8 km/h (5 mph), stand up out of the seat. The CDM should beep once
and display NO OPERATOR on the lower line. If NOT, the Operator Presence System requires adjustment.
See your MacDon Dealer.
Checking Engine Interlock
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared the area.
1. 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.
2. With the engine shut down, steering wheel NOT centered, and the ground speed lever (GSL) in NEUTRAL, but
NOT in N-DETENT, try to start the engine. The cab display module (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 start. If the engine starts, the system requires adjustment. See your MacDon
Dealer.
A properly functioning system should operate as follows:
• The engine should start ONLY when the GSL is in N-DETENT, steering wheel is locked in the CENTER
position, seat base is latched in either engine-forward or cab-forward direction, and header drive switch is in the
OFF position.
• The brake should engage and the machine should NOT move after engine start-up, under the above conditions.
• The steering wheel should NOT lock with the engine running and the GSL 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).

The ground speed lever (GSL) should easily move into the N-DETENT by itself.
In the cab, adjust the lateral pivot resistance as follows:
