REEL SPEED

The speed of the reel is controlled with switches
on the CDM in the cab. On D Series draper
headers, it can be set relative to the ground speed
of the windrower using the Header Index feature,
or can run independently. Refer to the Operator's
Manual for your specific Header for windrowing
guidelines and recommended speeds.
6.5.6.1 Reel to Ground Speed
Setting the speed of the reel relative to ground
speed using the Header Index function allows the
operator to run the engine at lower rpm while
maintaining the desired ground and reel speed.
This mode requires:
a. setting the Minimum Reel Speed, and
b. setting the Reel Index.
Reducing engine speed saves fuel and
reduces noise in the cab. Ground/cutting
speed can be maintained using this feature.
a. Set Reel Minimum Speed as follows
Windrower can be moving but must be less
than minimum reel speed.
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared
the area.
