6.5.8 DRAPER SPEED
Draper speed affects the orientation of stalks in
the windrow. Faster draper speeds tend to form
herringbone or dovetail configurations. Refer to
your Header Operator’s Manual for guidelines
on what speed to use.
The draper speed can be set with switches on
the CDM relative to the ground speed of the
windrower with the HEADER INDEX function, or
can run independently.
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared
the area.
6.5.8.1 Draper To Ground Speed - Index
(Optional)
To use this feature, set the Draper Minimum
Speed, and set the Draper Index.
NOTE
Reducing engine speed saves fuel and
reduces noise in the cab. Ground/cutting
speed can be maintained using this
feature.
a. Set
Draper Minimum Speed
:
IMPORTANT
Windrower can be moving but must be
less than minimum reel speed.
NOTE
DISPLAY will flash ##.# MIN CONV (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 Draper Speed Set
Point.
b. Set
Draper Index

normal operating speed and greater than
minimum draper speed.
