Press and hold REEL UP switch (A) or REEL DOWN switch (B) to
move the reel in the desired direction.

avoid damage to the windrower or the reel.
4.6.5
Reel Speed
Reel speed can be controlled using the switches on the ground speed lever (GSL), or can be indexed to the ground speed of
the header.
On draper headers, the reel speed can be set independently, or can be set relative to the ground speed of the windrower.
This can be done using the windrower
’
s header index feature. Refer to
Setting Header Index Mode, page 95
for instructions
on enabling header index mode. Refer to your header operator
’
s manual for specific windrowing guidelines and
recommended speeds.
Indexing Reel Speed to Ground Speed
The Operator can choose to link the speed of the reel to the ground speed of the windrower, rather than controlling it
manually, by taking advantage of the windrower
’
s header indexing feature.
Setting the speed of the reel relative to the windrower
’
s ground speed using the header index function allows you to run
the engine at a lower speed while maintaining the desired header performance.
