Setting Knife Speed - MacDon M2170NT Operator's Manual

When the header is first attached to the windrower, the windrower controller receives a code from the header that
determines the knife speed range and the minimum speed.
The desired speed can be programmed and stored in the windrower so the knife will operate at the original set-point after
the header is detached and reattached to the windrower.
Refer to the header operator's manual for the suggested knife speed for a variety of crops and conditions.
NOTE:
The knife speed cannot be set outside the range specified for each header.
