Solid Reel Hydraulic Circuit
Pressure from the combine feeds the barrel end of the left-hand cylinder. As the cylinder
barrel rises, oil below the piston is displaced. The volume of the rod on the left cylinder
matches the volume of the barrel on the right cylinder. The displaced oil causes the right
cylinder to raise. This cylinder has a vent to bleed air from the system.
Reel Arm Leveling and Height Adjustment
Reel Height Adjustment
Grain Belt Plus Headers are equipped with adjustable reel height stops, which limit how much
the reel can be lowered, and thus, how close the reel can come to the header. These stops
are located behind the reel-lift cylinders.
To adjust the height limits:
1. Start the combine, and with the header fully
lowered, raise the reel to maximum height.
2. Engage emergency brake, shut combine down,
and allow all moving parts to come to a
complete stop before exiting the cab.
3. Remove lock pin from left side reel height
control arm, and replace into the desired
location (hole) . Ensure that pin is fully
engaged and locked in place with safety clasp.
Take note of the exact location of the pin.
