214603 280 Revision A
c. Press FAST (C) or SLOW (D) until the desired reel index value is achieved.
NOTE:
The reel will continue operating at the minimum reel speed setting when ground speed drops below the set
value.
The cab display module (CDM) display (A) will flash ##.## MIN REEL (RPM or MPH or KPH
28
) prompting you
to change the minimum set-point or increase ground speed if the total of ground speed, plus the index value is
LESS THAN the minimum reel speed set-point.
Examples:
• Windrower is operating at 8 mph with HEADER INDEX ON, and set at -1.0.
Display shows: 7.0 -1.0 REEL IND where 7.0 (8.0-1.0) is the reel speed in mph and -1.0 is the
header index setting.
• Windrower speed drops to 7.5 mph at same HEADER INDEX setting.
Display shows: 6.5 -1.0 REEL IND where 6.5 (7.5-1.0) is the reel speed in mph and -1.0 is the
header index setting.
• Windrower is operating at 8 mph with HEADER INDEX ON, and set at 2.0.
Display shows: 10.0 2.0 REEL IND where 10.0 (8+2.0) is the reel speed in mph and 2.0 is the
header index setting.
4.7.3 Knife Speed
The ideal cutting speed should achieve a clean cut. Crop types and conditions usually influence the knife and
ground speeds.
When the header is first attached to the windrower, the windrower control module (WCM) receives a code from the
header that determines the knife speed range and the minimum speed. The desired speed can be programmed on
the cab display module (CDM) and stored in the WCM memory so the knife will operate at the original set-point
after the header is detached and reattached to the windrower. If no header code is detected, the CDM displays NO
HEADER and the knife speed reverts to the operator’s selection from a range of 800–1000 strokes per minute.
Refer to the header operator’s manual for the suggested knife speed for a variety of crops and conditions.
NOTE:
The knife speed cannot be programmed outside the range specified for each header.
NOTE:
The knife speed can be adjusted without shutting down the machine; however, the windrower should be stopped
before adjusting CDM settings.
To adjust the knife speed, refer to Setting the Header Knife Speed, page 91.
