DIAL-A-SPEED™ (Optional)

The DIAL-A-SPEED system controls the ratio between the reel speed and the ground speed. The system will not operate if ground speed is less than 1.2 km/h (0.75 mph).

The system is enabled by pressing switch (A) on the corner post display unit. The system is disabled by pressing switch (A) again.

The following requirements must be met:

  • Engine is running
  • Proper header is connected
  • Header is engaged
  • Header has been calibrated

The operator activates the system by pressing one of the header activation buttons on the multi-function lever. Arrowheads on each side of the icon indicate that the system is active.

Manually raising the header will deactivate the DIAL-A-SPEED system immediately if the header height control system is also active. If DIAL-A-SPEED is the only system active, raising the header for 1.5 Seconds (adjustable) will deactivate the system. Pressing any of the activation buttons will re-activate the system.

Rotating the DIAL-A-SPEED knob clockwise will increase the ratio and counterclockwise will decrease the ratio. The larger the ratio number (C) selected, the faster the reel will operate with respect to combine ground speed.
