OPERATION
4.8 Operating with an R-Series Header
The R85 13-foot header and the R80 13- and 16-foot
headers are shipped without the motor and hoses installed
and the installation of a separate motor and hose bundle
is necessary.
If required, obtain kit MD #B5510 from your MacDon
Dealer, and install it in accordance with the instructions
supplied with th e Kit.
A disc drive kit (MD #B4657) is also required for windrower
to operate the header.

4.8.1 Disc Speed
Disc spee
d is ideal when a clean cut is achieved. Crop types and conditions usually influence the disc and
forward s
peeds.
When the w
indrower is first attached to the header, the windrower control module (WCM) receives a code from the
header de
termining the speed range and minimum speed.
The des i
red speed is programmed on the cab display module (CDM) and stored in the WCM memory so the discs
will ope
rate at the original set-point after the header is detached and reattached to the windrower.
If no hea
der code is detected, the CDM displays NO HEADER, and the disc speed reverts to a preset range that
canbech
anged by the O p erator.
Refer t
o the header operator ’s manual for the suggested disc speed for a variety of crops and conditions.
