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.

4.6.6 Reel Speed

The reel speed is controlled with switches on the Ground Speed Lever (GSL) in the cab. On D-Series draper
headers, it can be set relative to the ground speed of the windrower using the HEADER INDEX feature or
can run independently. Refer to the operator's manual for your specific header for windrowing guidelines and
recommended speeds.

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.
NOTE:
The header index feature requires the optional expansion module. Refer to
