6.5.7 REEL SPEED
The speed of the reel is controlled with switches
on the CDM in the cab. On D Series draper
headers, it can be set relative to the ground
speed of the windrower using the HEADER
INDEX feature, or can run independently.
Refer to the Operator’s Manual for your specific
header for windrowing guidelines and
recommended speeds.
6.5.7.1 Reel to Ground Speed
Setting the speed of the reel relative to ground
speed using the HEADER INDEX function
allows the Operator to maintain a preset reel to
ground speed, while operating at varying ground
speeds.
This feature requires that an optional module
has been installed, either at the factory or at
your MacDon Dealer.
To use this feature, set the Minimum Reel
Speed, and set the Reel Index as follows:
a. Set
Reel Minimum Speed
IMPORTANT
Windrower can be moving, but must be
less than minimum reel speed.
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared
the area.
NOTE
DISPLAY will flash ##.## MIN REEL
(MPH or KPH) to prompt the Operator to
change the minimum set point or increase
ground speed if Ground Speed Plus Index
is less than the Minimum Reel Speed Set
Point.
b. Set
Reel Index
while driving windrower at
normal operating speed
and greater than
minimum reel speed.
