Massey 8460 controls

[Fordfarmer]

We've had a lot of rainy days over the last two weeks, but I finally greased and fueled the new-to-me 8460 yesterday, hoping to get some corn done today. Went to put the head on it, and the feeder house won't lower. I've gone through the manual, and the only thing I've read that I MIGHT not be doing, is there's a "safety master switch with lock" that I might need to push first before the switches for raising and lowering the feeder house work? The way it read, I thought that was for the auto header height. But I also haven't read how to unlock it, and the switch doesn't want to move.
Any help appreciated.

I know nothing about an MF 8460, and this is probably a stupid question, but you did release the cylinder safety latch on the feeder-house hydraulic cylinder, right? You did say it was new to you! (-:

Yes, I did lift the safety latch on the cylinder.
Ever if I'd forgotten that, the feed house would move a little. I get no movement at all.
