OPERATION
4.6.3 Adjusting the Reel Fore-Aft Position
The reel fore-aft position can be hydraulically adjusted
with the optional reel position system and is controlled with
multi-function switches on the ground speed lever (GSL).
Press and hold the switch for the desired FORWARD (A)
or AFT (B) movement of the reel.
NOTE:
The switches also control adjustments to the optional
double windrow attachment (DWA) conveyor and
can be activated when programming the cab display
module (CDM).

4.6.4 Adjusting the Reel Height
Press and hold the switch for the desired movement of the
reel REEL UP (A) or REEL DOWN (B).
IMPORTANT:
Under certain conditions, with reel raised to full height,
the reel tines may contact the cab roof. Exercise care to
avoid damage to the machine.

4.6.5 Reel Speed
The reel speed is controlled with switches on the ground speed lever (GSL) in the cab. On D-Series draper
headers, reel speed can be set relative to the ground speed of the windrower using the header index feature
or can run independently. Refer to your header’s operator manual for specific windrowing guidelines and
recommended speeds.
Setting Reel to Ground Speed
Setting the speed of the reel relative to ground speed (using the header index function) allows you to run the engine
at lower rpm while maintaining the desired ground and reel speed. Reducing engine speed saves fuel and reduces
noise in the cab.
Setting the reel to ground speed requires setting the minimum reel speed and the reel index.
