3.8.2 Adjusting Auger Speed
An A40 Auger Header features a hydraulic direct drive auger with operating speed range of 230 to 320 rpm, and is
controlled from the operator’s station on the self-propelled windrower.
For instructions, refer to your windrower operator’s manual.
3.8.3 Adjusting Reel Speed
An A40 Auger Header features a hydraulic direct drive reel with operating speed ranges of 50 to 85 rpm for M100, M105,
M200, and M205 Self-Propelled Windrowers, as well as M1170, M1240, M2170, and M2260 Windrower models with
standard reel configuration.
Operating speed ranges of 15 to 85 rpm are available for M150, M155, and M155E4 Self-Propelled Windrowers, as well as
M1170, M1240, M2170, and M2260 Windrower models with reel variable speed kit installed.
IMPORTANT:
The reel speed should be run slightly faster than the ground speed. Running the reel at +1.2 relative to the ground speed is
recommended.
NOTE:
The A40DX GSS headers are factory-fitted with reel variable speed option.
For instructions, refer to your windrower operator’s manual.
3.8.4 Setting Auger Position
The auger position has been factory-set, and should not normally require adjustment.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, before servicing header or opening drive covers, follow procedures in 4.1 Preparing for
Servicing, page 125.
For nearly all conditions, the auger performs best when it is set as close as possible to the stripper bars without rubbing.
This is especially important in grass and other crops that have a tendency to wrap.
Component wear may cause clearances to become excessive, resulting in feeding problems and uneven windrows.
To make adjustments to auger position, refer to these sections depending on your equipment:
• Adjusting Auger Fore-Aft Position, page 80
• Adjusting Vertical Position, page 81
