1.9.2Engine Electronics
WARNING
Tampering with the electronic system installation or the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wiring
installation can be dangerous and could result in personal injury or death and/or engine damage.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard. The electronic unit injectors use DC voltage. The engine control module (ECM)
sends this voltage to the electronic unit injectors. Do NOT come in contact with the harness connector for
the electronic unit injectors while the engine is operating. Failure to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
This engine has a comprehensive, programmable engine monitoring system. The ECM has the a bility to monitor
the engine operating conditions. If conditions exceed the allowable range, the ECM will initiate an immediate action.
The following actions are available for engine monitoring control:
• Warning
• Derate
• Shutdown
The following monitored engine operating conditions have the ability to limit engine speed and/or the engine power:
• Engine coolant temperature
• Engine oil pressure
• Engine speed
• Intake manifold air temperature
The engine monitoring package can vary for different engine models and different engine applications. However,
the monitoring system and the engine monitoring control will be similar for all engines. Together, the two controls
provide the engine monitoring function for the specific engine application.

3Operator’s Station
The operator’s station is designed for operating the windrower in a cab-forward mode (working mode) or in an
engine-forward mode (transport mode). The operator’s station, which includes the seat, console, and steering
column, pivots 180 degrees so that the Operator maintains access to the windrower controls and gauges regardless
of the direction of travel.
3.1Operator Console
The console contains controls to operate the windrower, as
well as amenities for the Operator. The console positio n is
adjustable to suit each particular Operator.
Figure 3.1: Operator Console
1. Adjusting fore-aft and height:
a. Pull lever (A) and slide co n so le fore or aft to the
desired position.
b. Release lever to lock console.

3.2Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System is a safety feature designed to deactivate or alarm selected systems when
the Operator is not seated at the operator ’s station.
These systems include:
• Header Drive
• Engine and Transmission
3.2.1Header 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 five seconds after the Operator leaves the seat, and then the header
shuts down.
• After the header has shut down automatically, the HEADER DRIVE switch must be moved to OFF position and
back to the ON position again to restart the header.
3.2.2Engine and Transmission
• The engine will not start when the HEADER DRIVE switch is engaged.
• The engine will shut down when the windrower is m oving at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less and the Operator leaves the
seat. The 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 Operator leaves the seat and the transmission is not locked in NEUTRAL, after fi v e seconds the lower
display will flash “NOT IN NEUTRAL” and an alarm will sound.
• When the seat is in between cab-forward and engine-forward positions, the engine will shut off if the transmission
is not locked in the NEU TRAL position. The lower display will flash “LOCK SEAT BASE” until the seat base is
locked into position.
