Reel DIAL-A-SPEED System

Reel DIAL-A-SPEED system provides operator with automatic control of operating speed for reel or belt pickup. The operating speed will be a ratio of the combine ground speed to the reel or belt speed.

Operator enables Reel DIAL-A-SPEED system by using button (A) on cornerpost display. Double arrow under Reel DIAL-A-SPEED icon (B) will appear on display.

Reel DIAL-A-SPEED system can be activated only when:

  • Engine is running
  • A properly equipped header is connected to the combine
  • Header is engaged
  • Reel speed is not set to zero
  • Header has been calibrated
  • Ground speed greater than 1 km/h (.75 mph)

Operator activates the system by pressing one of the Header Activation Buttons on Multi-function handle. Arrowheads on each side of icon indicates the system is activated.

If all above conditions have been met, the system will control the reel or belt pickup speed to the ratio selected. Rotating encoder (bottom photo) clockwise will increase ratio and counterclockwise will decrease ratio. The larger the ratio number (C) selected, the faster the reel or belt pickup will operate with respect to combine ground speed. Selected ratio will be displayed numerically on cornerpost display.

Operator disables the system by pressing button (A) on cornerpost display.
