Header Position; Adjusting The Reel Fore-Aft Position; Adjusting The Reel Height; Reel Speed - MacDon M205 Operator's Manual

4.6.1 Header Position

Refer to 4.4 Operating with a Header, page 194

4.6.2 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).

4.6.3 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 the reel raised to full height,
the reel tines may contact the cab roof. Exercise care to
avoid damage to the machine.

4.6.4 Reel Speed

Reel speed is controlled with switches on the ground speed lever (GSL) in the cab. On draper headers, reel speed
can run independently, or be set relative to the ground speed of the windrower using the header index feature.
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.
