Programming the Eco Engine Control (EEC)
Engine speed can be programmed to operate at reduced rpm to lower fuel and diesel exhaust fl uid (DEF)
consumption, and reduce in-cab noise levels. The set point for engine speed can be adjusted in increments of
100 rpm from 1800–2300 rpm in the Harvest Performance Tracker (HPT) QuickMenu. While the header is engaged,
the system can easily be activated and deactivated (depending on
fi eld conditions) using the EEC button on the
console. When the engine is running at less than full speed, you will notice a small reduction in the maximum reel,
draper, and ground speeds.
