frown mode.
Figure 6.52: Fore-Aft Position

fore-aft position decal (A).
6. Lower the reel fully.
7. Shut down the engine and remove key from the ignition.
Figure 6.53: Reel Clearance
8. Measure the clearance (X) at all possible points of
contact (between points [C] and [D] at the ends of each
reel [A] and at the flex locations [B]) as shown in Figure
6.54, page 133 .
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.
9. Check all possible points of contact between points (C)
and (D). Depending on the reel fore-aft position,
minimum clearance can result at the guard tine, hold-
down, or cutterbar.
