SET KNIFE SPEED 

 

SPM

 

Adjusts knife speed on draper and auger headers.  
Every header size and type of knife drive will have a different knife speed range. 
Refer to your header quick card for optimal settings. 

KNIFE

/

DISC OVERLOAD 

SPD 

  SPM/RPM

 

KNIFE OVERLOAD SPEED (Auger/Draper) and DISC OVERLOAD SPEED (rotary) 
Recommended setting is 75% of knife/disc speed. 
Range is 

100 to 

500 SPM/RPM. Default setting is 

300 SPM/RPM. 

OVERLOAD PRESSURE 

 

PSI/BAR

 

Calibration of overload sensor (reel/draper/knife/disc system). 
Refer to the Suggested Overload Warning Setting column in chart below. 

HEADER INDEX MODE 

 

Reel + Drapers  

OR

 Reel only

 

Applies to auger and draper headers only. 
References and operates reel only or reel and drapers in relation to ground speed. 

RETURN TO CUT MODE 

 

 Tilt or Height only

 

Controls functions to be controlled by RETURN TO CUT mode. 
Provides preset cutting height and tilt angle settings for headers.  
Refer to operator’s manual for set-up procedure. 

AUTO RAISE 

 

10.0

 

Sets the header up height in RETURN TO CUT mode. 

DWA INSTALLED 

 

YES/NO?

 

Activates electrical controls for double windrow attachment (DWA) when installed. 

SWAP DWA CONTROLS

 

NO/YES?

 

If YES is selected, swaps functions between the REEL FORE-AFT buttons on the GSL and 
the DWA RAISE/LOWER switches on the console. 

HEADER CUT WIDTH 

 

##.# FT/M

 

Sets cut width according to operating width and affects the calibration of acre counter. 
Header ID displayed on CDM at top right. 

HDR REEL SPD 

 

RPM or MPH/KMH

 

Allows REEL SPEED to display in rpm, mph, or km/h. 

SET TIRE SIZE 

 

Selects the installed tire size for ground speed and acre counter calibration. 

SET ENGINE ISC RPM 

 

NO/YES?

 

ENGINE INTERMEDIATE SPEED CONTROL. Engine rpm can be limited to a specified value 
while header is engaged. Scroll to the desired rpm value and use the HAZARD key to set. 

SET CONTROL LOCKS 

 

NO/YES?

 

Allows header functions to be locked from Operator control 
(for example, locking reel speed and/or reel fore-aft controls from Operator). 

VIEW CONTROL LOCKS 

  

NO/YES?

 

Allows Operator to view control lock status and engine hours when status was established 
(for example, REEL FORE-AFT - 224.5 HRS LOCKED).

D- and A-
Series 

Enhanced reel/conveyor speed controls may be         
desirable in variable crop and terrain conditions. 
 
Header index mode allows the reel and conveyor to 
be driven by reference to ground speed, so that 
header systems will speed up and slow down as 
ground speed changes. 
 

Operation of Header Index for REEL SPEED: 
(A- and D-Series) 

1.  With all bystanders clear, start windrower and  

engage the header. 

 
2.  While stationary and with the GSL in PARK, use 

the REEL SPEED control switch to set a  
minimum reel speed. 

 

When operating at ground speeds faster than the 
minimum reel speed + header index value,  
REEL SPEED display will change to  
REEL INDEX. Using the REEL SPEED switch on 
the GSL, header index can be adjusted. 

 

Reel speed will be equal to the greater of:       

Ground Speed + Index Value

 or                               

Minimum Reel Speed

 

Operation of Header Index for DRAPER SPEED: 
(D-Series only) 

 

Follow instructions above using the CDM AUGER/
DRAPER speed control rather than the GSL REEL 
SPEED switch.
