Operation Tips
Adjusting Reel Cam Positions
FD1 and D1 series headers feature a 4 position reel cam adjustment
(C)
on the right end of each reel (Dual reel headers must be adjusted
separately for each reel). The factory cam setting is position 2.
Use a 19 mm or 3/4” wrench to rotate pin
(A)
to release cam disc
and adjust cam at
(B)
to desired setting.
Turn pin
(A)
to engage cam disc lock.
Refer to
Section 3.7.12 Reel Tine Pitch
in the Operators Manual
for more information.
Reel cam position 1
is recommended for straight cut canola where the
reel will be pulled back behind the cutterbar and you want minimal reel
finger engagement in the crop to limit loss.
Reel cam position 2
is for most straight standing cereals
and soybeans.
Reel cam position 3
is for moderately lodged crop conditions.
Reel cam position 4
is for severely lodged crops where the
reel will be placed in front of and possibly below the cutterbar.
For best lifting action.
As the reel tine pitch is increased it also increases the speed of the reel
tine tips relative to actual reel speed.
Refer to
Section 3.6.4 Reel Settings
and
Section 3.7.12 Reel
