Reel and Disc Speed Switch

The reel and disc speed switch on the ground speed lever (GSL) adjusts the reel or disc speed, depending on the type of
header attached to the windrower. The switch can also operate the turn signals on the windrower when the header is
not in use.
• Press and hold + button (A) to increase the reel or
disc speed.
• Press and hold – button (B) to decrease the reel or
disc speed.
• Release the button when the reel or disc is at the desired
speed.
For instructions, refer to the applicable header topic for
detailed use of these switches.
IMPORTANT:
The reel speed on an A40DX Auger Header MUST NOT EXCEED
85 rpm. The auger speed MUST NOT EXCEED 320 rpm.
NOTE:
The REEL and DISC speed switch can operate the turn signals
when the header is not in use. For example, when driving in the engine-forward position, or when operating in the cab-
forward position with the header disengaged.
NOTE:
The reel and auger speeds are hydraulically linked on the A40DX Auger Header. When the reel speed is changed, the auger
speed changes automatically. Independent reel and auger adjustment is available on the A40DX GSS (Grass Seed) using the
differential auger-reel control feature. It is also available on the A40DX (non-Grass Seed) as an option: the Reel Speed
Control kit (MD #B6604).
