CDM PROGRAMMING MODE: WINDROWER SETUP
SET KNIFE SPEED 
SPM
Adjusts knife speed on draper and auger headers.
Every header size and type of knife drive will have a different range for the knife speed.
Refer to your header Quick Card for optimal settings.
KNIFE / DISC OVERLOAD
SPD  SPM/RPM
KNIFE OVERLOAD SPEED (Auger/Draper) and DISC OVERLOAD SPEED (Rotary)
Recommended setting is 75% of knife/disc speed.
Range is –100 to –500 SPM/RPM. Default setting is –300 SPM/RPM.
OVERLOAD PRESSURE 
PSI/BAR
Calibration of overload sensor (reel/draper/knife/disc system).
See Overload Recommendations Chart below.
HEADER INDEX MODE 
Reel+Drapers
OR Reel Only
Auger and Draper headers only.
References and operates Reel Only or Reel and Drapers in relation to ground speed.
RETURN TO CUT MODE 
Height+Tilt OR Height Only
Set functions to be controlled by RETURN TO CUT mode.
AUTO RAISE 
←10.0→
Sets the header up height in RETURN TO CUT mode.
DWA INSTALLED 
YES/NO?
Activates electrical controls for Double Windrow Attachment when installed.
SWAP DWA CONTROLS
NO/YES?
If YES is selected, the REEL FORE-AFT buttons on the GSL and the DWA RAISE/LOWER
switches on the console will swap functions.
HEADER CUT WIDTH 
##.# FT/M
Set cut width according to operating width. Calibration of acre counter.
Header ID displayed on CDM at top right.
HDR REEL SPD 
RPM or MPH/KMH
Allows REEL SPEED to display in rpm or mph or kph.
SET TIRE SIZE  Select installed tire size for ground speed and acre counter calibration.
SET ENGINE ISC RPM 
NO/YES?
ENGINE INTERMEDIATE SPEED CONTROL. Engine rpm can be limited to a specified value
while header is engaged. Scroll to desired rpm value, use HAZARD key to set.
SET CONTROL LOCKS 
NO/YES?
Allows header functions to be locked from Operator control
(for example: locking reel speed and/or reel fore-aft controls from Operator.)

A-Series Knife/Conditioner Pressure 3600 (248) 4000 (275)
Enhanced reel/conveyor speed controls may be
desirable in variable crop and terrain conditions.
Allows the reel and conveyor to be driven by
reference to ground speed, so that header systems
will speed up and slow down as ground speed
changes.
Operation of Header Index for REEL SPEED:
(A- and D-Series)
1. With all bystanders clear, start windrower and
engage the header.
2. While stationary and with the GSL in PARK, use
the REEL SPEED control switch to set a
Minimum Reel Speed.
When operating at ground speeds faster than the
Minimum Reel Speed + Header Index value,
REEL SPEED display will change to
REEL INDEX. Using the REEL SPEED switch on
the GSL, Header Index can be adjusted.
Reel speed will be equal to the greater of:
Ground
Speed + Index Value or
Minimum Reel Speed.
Operation of Header Index for DRAPER SPEED:
(D-Series Only)
Follow instructions above using the CDM AUGER/
DRAPER speed control rather than the GSL REEL
SPEED switch.
