Measure the clearance (X) at all possible points of contact
(between points [B] and [C] at the ends of each reel [A]) as
shown in Figure
and
NOTE:
The reel is factory-set to provide more clearance at the
center of the reel than at the ends (frown) to compensate
for reel flexing.
NOTE:
When measuring reel clearance at the center of a double-
reel header, measure the lowest reel.

Check all possible points of contact between points (B)
and (C). Depending on the reel fore-aft position, minimum
clearance can result at the guard tine, hold-down, or
cutterbar.
