Without Hydraulic Deck Shift
FLOAT PRE-SET / DECK SHIFT switch allows for
auto-memory of three different trim cylinder
positions. For example:
#1 - Border Width LH 5.0, RH 6.5
#2 - Normal Width LH 5.0, RH 5.0
#3 - Rocky Width LH 6.5, RH 6.5
D-Series with Hydraulic Deck Shift
DECK SHIFT switch activates hydraulic deck shifting
when the header is engaged, and allows for auto-
memory of trim cylinder adjustments in each delivery
opening position.
Allows for compensation of weight shifts to the float
springs.
FLOAT PRESETS
1. Main battery disconnect switch - POWER ON.
2. GSL in N-DETENT. HEADER DRIVE switch OFF.
3. Seat Belt ON. Set throttle to START position - “fully back”.
4. Sound horn three times.
5. Turn ignition key to RUN position. Single loud tone sounds.
Engine warning lights flash in self-test mode, and CDM displays
“HEADER DISENGAGED’ and “IN PARK”.
6. Turn ignition key to START position until engine starts.
Release key. Allow engine to run at IDLE until temperature reach-
es 100F (40C).
7. CDM displays programmed header data for 5 seconds, and then
returns to previous display.
NORMAL START - Engine Temp above 60°F (16°C)

CDM PROGRAMMING MODE: TRACTOR SETUP
(See M155 Operator’s Manual for complete instructions and detailed information)
SET KNIFE SPEED 
SPM
Adjusts knife speed on draper and auger headers.
Every header size and type of knife drive will have a different range for the knife speed.
Refer your header Quick Card for optimal settings.
KNIFE / DISC OVERLOAD
SPD  SPM/RPM
KNIFE OVERLOAD SPEED (Auger / Draper) to be set at 75% of desired knife speed.
DISC OVERLOAD SPEED (Rotary) should be set to 1300 rpm.
OVERLOAD PRESSURE 
PSI/BAR
Calibration of overload sensor (reel / draper / knife / disc system).
See Overload Recommendations Chart below.
HEADER INDEX MODE 
Reel+Drapers OR Reel Only
Auger and Draper headers only.
References and operates ‘Reel Only’ or ‘Reel and Drapers’ in relation to ground speed.
RETURN TO CUT MODE 
Height+Tilt OR Height Only Set functions to be controlled by RETURN TO CUT (RTC) mode.
AUTO RAISE Sets header-up height in RETURN TO CUT (RTC) mode. Range is 4.0 (min) to 10.0 (max).
DWA INSTALLED 
YES/NO? Activates electrical controls for Double Windrow Attachment when installed.
SWAP DWA CONTROLS
NO/YES? If “YES” selected, REEL FORE-AFT and DWA RAISE / LOWER switches will swap functions.
DWA AUTO UP/DOWN
YES/NO? Enables the express UP and DOWN features in RETURN TO CUT (RTC) mode.
HEADER CUT WIDTH 
##.# FT/M
Set cut width according to operating width. Calibration of acre counter.
Header ID displayed on CDM at top right.
HAY CONDITIONER 
YES/NO? Draper Header only. Activates hydraulics for conditioner and feed deck drive systems.
AUGER HDR REEL SPD 
RPM or MPH/KMH
Selection will appear only with an auger header attached.
Allows REEL SPEED to display in RPM or MPH / KPH.
SET TIRE SIZE Select installed tire size, for ground speed and acre counter calibration.
SET ENGINE ISC RPM 
NO/YES?
ENGINE INTERMEDIATE SPEED CONTROL. Engine RPM can be limited to a specified val-
ue while header is engaged. Scroll to desired RPM value. Use HAZARD key to set.
SET CONTROL LOCKS 
NO/YES?
Allows header functions to be locked from Operator control.
(for example: Locking reel speed and/or reel fore-aft controls from Operator.)
VIEW CONTROL LOCKS 
NO/YES?
Allows Operator to view control lock status, and engine hours when status was established.
(for example: REEL FORE-AFT - 224.5 HRS LOCKED).

Enhanced reel/conveyor speed controls may be
desirable in variable crop and terrain conditions.
Allows the reel and conveyor to be driven by
reference to ground speed, so that header systems
will speed up and slow down as ground speed chang-
es.
Operation of Header Index for REEL SPEED:
(A and D Series)
1. With all bystanders clear, start windrower, and
engage the header.
2. While stationary, with the GSL in PARK, use the
REEL SPEED control switch to set a ‘Minimum
Reel Speed’.
3. When operating at grounds speeds faster than
the Minimum Reel Speed + Header Index value,
REEL SPEED display will change to
REEL INDEX. Using the GSL REEL SPEED
switch, Header Index can be adjusted.
4. Reel speed will be equal to the greater of:
‘Ground Speed + Index Value’ OR
‘Minimum Reel Speed’.
Operation of Header Index for DRAPER SPEED:
(D Series Only)
Follow instructions above, using the CDM AUGER/
DRAPER speed control, rather than the GSL REEL
SPEED switch.
