remove the key from the ignition before making adjustments to the machine. NEVER climb onto or go underneath an
unsupported header.
1.
Shut down the engine and remove the key.

Adjust center arm lift cylinder link (A) to set the clearance
at the center of the reel and clearance at flex points as
follows:
NOTE:
This adjustment is most easily performed from the
underside of the arm.
a.
Loosen nut (B).
b.
Turn nut (C) counterclockwise to raise the reel and
increase the clearance to the cutterbar, or clockwise to
lower the reel and decrease the clearance.
c.
Tighten nut (B).
4.
Move the reel back to ensure the steel end fingers do not contact the deflector shields.
5.
If contact is evident, adjust the reel upward to maintain the clearance at all reel fore/aft positions. Alternatively, trim
the steel end fingers to obtain the proper clearance.
6.
Periodically check for evidence of contact, and adjust the clearance as required.

Reel Frown
The reel is factory-set in a frown shape (more clearance at the center of the reel than at the ends) to compensate for reel
flexing.
