OPERATION
5.2 INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS
Since all applications of the Air Reel are not the same, based
on header and combine variations, some initial adjustments
must be made to achieve peak performance of your Air Reel.
5.2.1 REEL ADJUSTMENT
1. Place header on a level surface.
2. Pull reel back as close as possible to auger while
maintaining clearance between auger flighting and bat
tubes. Install reel aft stop.
3. Adjust reel tines perpendicular to sickle sections.
Do not operate with reel tines contacting the ground.
NOTE
Place all controls in neutral or off, stop combine engine,
set parking brake, remove ignition key, wait for all mov-
ing parts to stop, then properly block machine before
servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.

4. Adjust reel height to achieve a 1” minimum clearance
between the reel tines and sickle at maximum sickle
flex height. Set cylinder stops at this position.
5. Move reel ahead until fingers are a minimum of 1” from
the ground. Install a stop on the reel arm to prevent
forward travel from this point.
6. Loosen pivot clamp and adjust so the actuator is in
middle of stroke (approx. 2” of actuator shaft exposed)
with air tube nozzles pointed at the back of the sickle
bar (Figure 39). Retighten pivot clamp.
7. Turn adjustable air tubes at each end of the header so
they direct air into the corners of the header.
NOTE
When the reel height is properly set according to the
recommendations in the owners manual, it is possible
that with the
fl ex of the reel the tines could be damaged
by the cutter bar. Under normal conditions the fl ex in the
reel should be minimal. If more fl ex is occurring adjust
the reel accordingly to prevent damage to the tines.
