Adjustment of Reel Rotation Control
Valves
The reel rotation control valves adjust the
rotation speeds of the reel cutters (cutting
cylinders).
Adjust according to the operating conditions.
A label listing dial settings for corresponding
reel rotation speeds is attached.
Adjust the reel rotation control valve to the
setting for the reel rotation speed listed on the
reel rotation indicating decal.
"TURNS" means the rotation number of the
dial's counterclockwise rotation started from
the state where the dial is fully tightened
clockwise.
"POS" means the dial decal number pointed by
the indicating screw.
Note:
The factory default reel rotation speed is set to
1,450 rpm.
