2/5 in.)
B - 2 mm (2/25 in.) Minimum to Knife Section
C - Flex Fingers Back when Checking Clearance
1. Rotate reel slowly by hand, and check tine clearance at
knife and pan. Flex tines to simulate crop-loaded
position to ensure tine clearances to knife sections and
auger pan are adequate for working conditions.
2. Check that reel rotates freely.
NOTE:
If there are a few reel tines that are touching the pan
while the rest are at the correct height, trim the longer
tines to match the rest. Be sure to adjust both sides of
the reel.
Ensure that tines do NOT contact plastic header pan.
