Revision C
6.7.3 DISC
SPEED
The header is allocated a code that the WCM
reads when the header is first attached to the
windrower, and the disc speed set-point
automatically becomes the minimum disc speed
for the header.
The operator can then program the desired speed
from the following table on the CDM to be stored
in the WCM memory, so that if the header is
detached and then re-attached to the windrower,
the disc will operate at the original set-point.
