Reel Fore-Aft Position
Reel fore-aft position is a critical factor for achieving the best results in adverse conditions. The reel position is factory-set
for an average, straight standing crop, but it can be adjusted forwards or backwards as required using the controls inside
the cab.

Figure 3.37: Fore-Aft Decal
Decal (A) is attached to the right reel support arm for
identifying reel position. The aft edge of the cam disc (B) is the
reel fore-aft position marker.
For straight standing crop, center the reel over the cutterbar (4
–
5 on the decal).
For crops that are down, tangled, or leaning, it may be
necessary to move the reel ahead of the cutterbar (lower
number on decal).
IMPORTANT:
Be vigilant and maintain adequate clearance to prevent the reel
from contacting the roof of the windrower, which is possible
under certain conditions.
IMPORTANT:
Operating with reel too far forward can cause the fingers to contact the ground before the cutterbar. Lower the skid shoes
or adjust the header angle as required when operating with the reel in this position. Otherwise, damage to the fingers
will occur.
IMPORTANT:
Adjust to a steeper header angle if experiencing difficulty picking up flattened crop. Refer to for adjustment instructions.
Adjust reel position only if header angle adjustments are not satisfactory.
Refer to for recommended reel positions in specific crops and
crop conditions.
NOTE:
In crops that are difficult to pick up such as rice, or severely lodged crops that require full forward positioning of the reel,
set the reel tine pitch to provide proper placement of the crop onto the drapers. Refer to
3.12.10 Reel Tine Pitch, page 63
for adjustment details.
Adjusting Reel Fore-Aft Position
–
Mechanical Method
The factory-set reel position suits normal conditions, but the fore-aft position can be mechanically adjusted as required.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition before making adjustments to the machine.
1.
Lower or raise the reel so that the support arms are horizontal.
2.
Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
