B. AUGER STRIPPER BAR
CLEARANCE
a. Check for signs of auger flighting rubbing
stripper bars after run-up.
C. REEL TINE TO HEADER PAN
CLEARANCE
IMPORTANT
The above dimensions are provided as
guidelines. Tines may slightly contact the
guards but not the knife sections or the
auger pan.
a. Rotate reel slowly by hand and check finger
clearance at knife and pan. Flex fingers to
simulate crop-loaded position to ensure fingertip
clearances to knife sections and auger pan are
adequate for working conditions.
b. Check that the reel rotates freely.
D. HEADER FLOTATION
The windrower float springs are not used to level
the header. To adjust float, refer to illustration
below and proceed as follows:
a. Check float by grasping the lean bar and lifting.
The force to lift should be 75-85 lbf (335-380 N)
and should be approximately the same at both
ends.
b. Perform the following steps to adjust the float if
necessary:
1. Raise the header fully, shut down the
engine, and remove the key.
2. Loosen nut (A) on linkage spring drawbolt.
3. Turn drawbolt (B) clockwise to increase float
(makes header lighter) or counterclockwise
to decrease float (makes header heavier).
4. Tighten nut (A) to lock drawbolt.
5. Recheck the float.
