The standard platform reverser is easily activated from the operator's station to clear the platform of plugs that may occur.

When engaged, the reverser slowly reverses the conditioning rolls, augers, and reel on the 896 Platform.

The right-hand front cornerpost displays messages and warnings of importance to the operator. These messages and warnings are located within the normal line of sight to make intermittent visual inspection convenient.

The warning display panel provides three different levels of messages, depending on the response required.

Red light and audible alarm — Immediately stop engine and correct the problem.

The digital display gives the operator the ability to monitor the following machine functions:

• Ground speed-km/h
