been preset.

Setting Reel to Ground Speed

Setting the speed of the reel relative to ground speed using the HEADER INDEX function automatically adjusts the
reel speed with changes in ground speed. Operator fatigue is reduced and more consistent crop flow into the auger
is achieved.

NOTE: Any change to the reel speed will result in a change to the auger speed unless the auger speed

has been preset. Refer to

Adjusting Reel Only Speed, page 242

.

This mode requires setting the Minimum Reel Speed and the Reel Index.
