Engine Speed - MacDon M150 2008 Operator's Manual

7.9.11

Engine Speed

The maximum and idle engine speeds are
factory set to the specifications. See Section 4
Specifications. If specified speeds cannot be
maintained, see your Windrower dealer.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove any seals from injector
pump; removal of seals will void the
engine warranty.
7.9.11.1 Alternate Engine Rating
The engine operating
programmed to enable the windrower to operate
at reduced engine rpm (2200, 2000, 1900, and
1800) without significantly affecting the ground
or header speeds.
operating loads are reduced such as in light crop
conditions which do not require the maximum
engine rpm. Reduced engine speed lowers fuel
consumption, noise
emissions in addition to reducing engine wear.
Programming instructions are given in Section
5.17.5 Cab Display
Programming. The programmed engine speed
is activated when the header is engaged.
7.9.11.2 Throttle Adjustment
The engine speed is controlled with the throttle
lever that is connected to an electronic sensor
inside the console. The throttle lever in the cab
should move the throttle sensor the full range
between slow speed stop and full RPM stop
without contacting the console at either position.
If the throttle lever is contacting the console and
interferes with specified engine speeds, the
sensor position possibly requires adjustment.
See your Windrower dealer.
