TRANSCRIPT:

We'll just go over a few quick navigational tips for the uh the user interface. With our HarvestTouch™ display, we can easily access our float screen by pressing the flotation button on the display. Alternatively, if it's something that you access frequently, you can use the F1 button on the console here, and that is a shortcut to the flotation adjustment. We can access our One-Touch-Return settings through the main display by accessing the main menu, setup, and then One-Touch-Return. Alternatively, if it's a menu that you access frequently, you can do so by pressing the F2 button, which will take you directly to the One-Touch-Return menu. Okay, now that we've set up the window and header combination uh in the display, we can set our One-Touch-Return features. One-Touch-Return is something that allows the operator to set various operating variables to certain preset buttons on the GSL or ground speed lever. To access the One-Touch-Return menu, we access our main menu. From there, we go to the setup screen and OTR or One-Touch-Return. In this menu, we'll see all the various cutting variables that are able to be selected uh or tied to the One-Touch-Return buttons. They vary from reel height, reel fore-aft, knife speed, reel speed, draper speed, deck position or header float, and header tilt. You'll notice that header height is absent from the menu. That is because header height is always tied to the One-Touch-Return. For our purposes, we're going to select header tilt and reel height. Now that we've selected what we want enabled in our one-touch return, we can back out of there.

The next step to setting our One-Touch-Return targets is to engage the header. With the header engaged, we can simply set the header height, reel height, and tilt to where we want. For example, if we're cutting above the ground, we can select a header height of 3 in this case, a guard angle or a tilt of 8, and a real height of 4.6. Once we have those three variables where we want, so 4.6, 3.1 and 8. We simply hold and press the button that we want those targets to be set for. In this case, A. So if I hold and press the A button, now my target A has been set. To set  an on ground or alternate set of operating variables, we simply move the header to the desired position. So, let's go up with our reel in this case to 10. And let's tilt our guard angle a little back. If I'm happy with these settings for position B, I simply hold the B button until those variables have been set. Now, I've set A and B. To return to those cutting presets, I simply momentarily press button A, and my header height, my reel height, and my header tilt should automatically return to the presets I set for A. If I'd like to now return to B, momentarily, press B, and those variables will return to the positions I've set for B. 

If at any time using the One-Touch-Return presets I want to alter let's say my header height, I can do so. But notice that it has kicked me out of One-Touch-Return. So to resume to my B settings, simply momentarily press B and I'm returned to the B settings. If I wanted to alter one of my settings, I would have to now put my reel to the desired position and ensure that my guard angle or tilt and my height are all at the target position that I want before resetting position B. So now that I'm happy with these settings, I simply hold and press B and I've now reset my one-touch return B position set points. 

If at any time you want to add a variable to the one-touch return, simply enter the main menu, setup menus, One-Touch-Return. And now I think I'd like to add my reel fore-aft to be tied to these presets. Once I've enabled that and it's green, I can move back out. Now to incorporate the reel fore-aft position into my One-Touch-Return presets, I have to ensure all four of the variables I've selected for being tied to one-touch return are where I want them prior to setting pressing the button. So, my reel fore-aft position is going to be at two. My reel height at 4, I'm happy with my header height of 1.3 and my header tilt of 4. And I'll set my A point. Now to redo my B points, I have to now incorporate that reel fore-aft setting into the mix. My B point will be 3.2 on my header height, a reel position of 1.4. We'll go to 0 on the fore-aft and increase our guard angle. If I'm happy with all of those settings, I can now press and hold B to save those settings for my OTR B position. Now again to resume to our A position, simply hold A momentarily. And now all four of those variables are moving to the target point. And for the B position, the same thing.

Now that we've put together two infield One-Touch-Return settings, one for on the ground and one for above ground cutting, button C can be used as a headland management button. If I wanted to raise my header at the end of the field to make a turn. Let's raise the header. Some people like to utilize the reel to clean the cutter bar while the header is raised. So, I'm going to move the reel down and put it over the cutter bar. And then, you know what? I'm going to rock my guard angle back, maybe just to knock any mud out of the the cutter bar that may be present. So, if I'm happy with those settings as a headline management uh preset, I will hold C. And now those headings are saved. If I've made my turn in the field and I want to resume cutting, I can go to either my A or B set points depending on what the crop conditions dictate. That is how you set your One-Touch-Return.
