OPERATOR'S STATION

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 (1900–2300 rpm for M2170) or
(1900–2200 rpm for M2260) when the header is engaged, and is
adjustable in 100 rpm increments. Activate this feature by using
A
EEC button (A) on the operator's console. The EEC symbol will
™
display on the HarvestTouch Display over the right side of the
tachometer.
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.
NOTE:
M2260 only: For the R216 Rotary Disc Headers (Grass Seed only),
1014733
you can maximize engine horsepower by disabling the EEC.
