At the bottom of the tattletale 3 monitor there is a pic of a combine with what looks like the chopper or the cylinder is "highlighted" with a high-low rocker switch directly below it. The op book doesn't say much about it or what that switch controls. Would some one tell this old dummy what it does. Thanks Dave

You switch it to high when you have the chopper drive belt on the high speed pulley and set it to low when on the low speed pulley...if my memory has that correct...

Like Amos said, it's so the tattletale reads correctly. For instance, if it's set on "high" but you're running the low-speed pulley, the lower speed will trigger the light on the monitor when in reality, everything is working fine.
