3.14.1 Using Eco Engine Control

Eco Engine Control (EEC) is useful in lighter crop conditions that do not require the maximum engine rpm. The reduced
engine speed lowers fuel consumption, noise levels, and exhaust emissions in addition to reducing engine wear.
The EEC limits the engine rpm to 1900–2300 rpm when the
header is engaged, and is adjustable in 100 rpm increments.
Activate this feature by using EEC button (A) on the operator's
A
™
console. The EEC symbol will display on the HarvestTouch
Display on the right side above the main menu icon.
The EEC feature will be active only when the header is engaged,
but can be adjusted without the header running. When the
header is disengaged, EEC will be canceled and engine rpm will
return to the setting determined by the throttle.
