Header
Angle
(1)
Header angle is the angle between the guards
and the ground. It is adjustable to
accommodate soil type and/or conditions.
Hydraulic Link:
Determined by length of hydraulic center-link and displayed as a
value from 0 (shallow) to 10 (steep) on the windrower control
module (WCM). Adjust with controls in windrower cab.
Mechanical Link:
Determined by length of link (short for shallow, long for steep).
Knife
Speed
(2)
High: 1850–1950 SPM
Medium: 1600–1800 SPM
Low: 1400–1600 SPM
Displayed as strokes per minute on the windrower cab
display module (CDM). Adjust with controls in windrower cab.
Knife adjustment on low HP windrowers (M100 and M105) is
done directly on the pump.
Reel
Speed
(3)
Operate the reel at suggested percentage
above ground speed.
Displayed as mph, km/h, or rpm on the windrower cab
display module (CDM). Adjust with controls in windrower cab.
Low HP windrowers (M100 and M105) may not have reel
speed display capability, and require an expansion module to
display reel speed and knife speed. The expansion module
is available as an option.
Auger
Speed
(4)
Increase auger speed at high
ground
speed or in heavy crop conditions.
Decrease auger speed at low ground
speed or in light crop conditions.
Refer to auger header operator’s manual
for detailed adjustment instructions.
Displayed on the cab display module (CDM) as auger rotational
speed. Values range from 4.7–9.9. Adjust with controls in
windrower cab.
Float
(5)
Increase float setting in rough terrain or at
high ground speeds to prevent excessive
header movement.
Adjustable springs on the windrower header lift system.
Use in-cab controls for fine adjustments.
Feed Pan
/ Rock
Drop
Tine
Position
(6)
Lower the feed pan in heavy crop to help
prevent plugging.
Raise the feed pan in light crop to form an
even windrow.
1. Loosen bolt (A) at each end.
2. Move tines and pan (B) as required.
3. Tighten bolts (A).
Roll Gap
(7)
Roll gap (C) determines the amount of
conditioning and is preset at 6 mm (1/4 in.).
Increase roll gap to reduce conditioning: Loosen jam nut (D),
and turn lower nut (E) clockwise. Tighten jam nut (D).
Reduce roll gap to increase conditioning: Loosen jam nut (D)
and turn lower nut (E) counterclockwise. Tighten jam nut (D).
