The reel fore-aft position can be hydraulically adjusted
with the optional reel position system and is controlled with
multi-function switches on the ground speed lever (GSL).
Press and hold the switch for the desired FORWARD (A)
or AFT (B) movement of the reel.
NOTE: The switches also control adjustments to
the optional double windrow attachment
(DWA) conveyor and can be activated when
programming the cab display module (CDM).

4.6.5 Reel Height
Press and hold the switch for the desired movement of the
reel REEL UP (A) or REEL DOWN (B) .

Exercise care to avoid damage to the machine.
Figure 4.283: Ground Speed Lever (GSL)
4.6.6 Reel Speed
The reel speed is controlled with switches on the Ground Speed Lever (GSL) in the cab. On D-Series draper
headers, it can be set relative to the ground speed of the windrower using the HEADER INDEX feature or
can run independently. Refer to the operator’s manual for your specific header for windrowing guidelines and
recommended speeds.
Reel to Ground Speed
Setting the speed of the reel relative to ground speed using the HEADER INDEX function allows you to run the
engine at lower rpm while maintaining the desired ground and reel speed. Reducing engine speed saves fuel and
reduces noise in the cab.
This mode requires setting the MINIMUM REEL SPEED and the REEL INDEX.
