6.5.7 DRAPER SPEED
Draper speed affects the orientation of stalks in
the windrow. Faster draper speeds tend to form
herringbone or dovetail configurations. Refer to
your Header Operator’s manual for guidelines on
what speed to use.
The draper speed can be set with switches on the
CDM relative to the ground speed of the
windrower with the Header Index function, or can
run independently.
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared
the area.
6.5.7.1 Draper To Ground Speed
Setting the speed of the draper relative to ground
speed using the Header Index function allows the
operator to run the engine at lower rpm while
maintaining the desired ground and draper speed.
This mode requires:
a) setting the Minimum Draper Speed, and
b) setting the Draper Index.
NOTE
Reducing engine speed saves fuel and
reduces noise in the cab. Ground/cutting
speed can be maintained using this feature.
a. Set Draper Minimum Speed as follows:
IMPORTANT
Windrower can be moving but must be less
than minimum draper speed.
NOTE
DISPLAY will flash ##.# MIN CONV (MPH
or KPH) to prompt the operator to change
the minimum set point or increase ground
speed if Ground Speed Plus Index is less
than the Minimum Draper Speed Set Point.
b. Set Draper Index as follows while driving
windrower at normal operating speed and greater
than minimum draper speed.
NOTE
See example on following page.
