4.6.4 Adjusting Reel Height
The reel fore-aft position can be changed using the controls on the ground speed lever (GSL).
Figure 4.293: Ground Speed Lever (GSL)
Press and hold REEL UP switch (A) or REEL DOWN switch (B) to
move the reel in the desired direction.
IMPORTANT:
Under certain conditions, when the reel is raised to its full
height, the reel tines may contact the cab roof. Exercise care to
avoid damage to the windrower or the reel.
4.6.5 Reel Speed
Reel speed can be controlled using the switches on the ground speed lever (GSL), or can be indexed to the ground speed of
the header.
On draper headers, the reel speed can be set independently, or can be set relative to the ground speed of the windrower.
This can be done using the windrower’s header index feature. Refer to Setting Header Index Mode, page 95 for instructions
on enabling header index mode. Refer to your header operator’s manual for specific windrowing guidelines and
recommended speeds.
Indexing Reel Speed to Ground Speed
The Operator can choose to link the speed of the reel to the ground speed of the windrower, rather than controlling it
manually, by taking advantage of the windrower’s header indexing feature.
Setting the speed of the reel relative to the windrower’s ground speed using the header index function allows you to run
the engine at a lower speed while maintaining the desired header performance.
