OPERATION
IMPORTANT:
Set the minimum reel speed while stationary with the ground speed lever (GSL) in the N-DETENT position.
a. Engage header.
b. Set HEADER INDEX switch (B) to ON.
c. Press the DISPLAY SELECTOR button (E) on the GSL to display ##.## MIN REEL at (A) or press the
FAST (C) or SLOW (D) switch.
The displayed value (##.##) = reel speed (rpm or mph or km/h 22 ).
d. Press FAST (C) or SLOW (D) until the desired minimum reel speed is achieved.
2. Set the reel index as follows:
IMPORTANT:
Reel index can only be adjusted while operating at a ground speed faster than minimum reel speed
plus header index value.
a. Set the HEADER INDEX switch (B) to ON.
b. Press the DISPLAY SELECTOR button (E) on the GSL to display ##.## ##.# REEL IND 23 or press the FAST
(C) or SLOW (D) switch.
• The displayed value (##.##) = reel speed (mph or km/h or rpm 22 )
• The displayed value (##.#) = reel index value
c. Press FAST (C) or SLOW (D) until the desired reel index value is achieved.
NOTE:
The reel will continue operating at the minimum reel speed setting when ground speed drops below the set value.
The cab display module (CDM) display (A) will flash ##.## MIN REEL (RPM or MPH or KPH
22 ) prompting you
to change the minimum set-point or increase ground speed if the total of ground speed, plus the index value
is LESS THAN the minimum reel speed set-point.
Examples:
• Windrower is operating at 8 mph with HEADER INDEX ON, and set at -1.0.
Display shows: 7.0 -1.0 REEL IND where 7.0 (8.0-1.0) is the reel speed in mph and -1.0 is the header index setting.
• Windrower speed drops to 7.5 mph at same HEADER INDEX setting.
Display shows: 6.5 -1.0 REEL IND where 6.5 (7.5-1.0) is the reel speed in mph and -1.0 is the header index setting.
• Windrower is operating at 8 mph with HEADER INDEX ON, and set at 2.0.
Display shows: 10.0 2.0 REEL IND where 10.0 (8+2.0) is the reel speed in mph and 2.0 is the header index setting.
22. Depending on CDM programming.
23. REEL IND will only be displayed when operating at a ground speed faster than minimum reel speed plus header index value.
