OPERATION
Engine Warm-Up

Engine Intermediate Speed Control (ISC)
Engine ISC is useful when operating loads are reduced such as in light crop conditions that do not require the
maximum engine rpm. Reduced engine speed lowers fuel consumption, noise levels, and exhaust emissions in
addition to reducing engine wear.
With the ISC activated, the engine speed automatically reverts to 2300 rpm when the header is engaged.
Programming instructions are provided in
3.18.5 Cab Display Module (CDM) Programming, page 70
