Revision B
The reel height is controlled using switches in the windrower cab.
The following conditions might result if the reel is set too low:
•
Crop loss over the header backtube
•
Crop disturbance on the drapers caused by the reel fingers
•
Crop being pushed down by the tine tubes
The following conditions might result if the reel is set too high:
•
Cutterbar plugging
•
Crop lodging and being left uncut
•
Grain stalks dropping ahead of cutterbar
Refer to
3.6.2 Header Settings, page 44
for recommended reel height in specific crops and crop conditions.
IMPORTANT:
Maintain reel clearance to prevent fingers contacting the knife or the ground. For instructions, refer to
.
3.7.11
Reel Fore-Aft Position
Reel fore-aft position is a critical factor for achieving the best results in adverse conditions. The reel position can be
adjusted forward or backward as required using the controls inside the cab.
The reel can be moved approximately 227 mm (9 in.) farther aft by repositioning the fore-aft cylinders on the reel arms to
accommodate certain crop conditions.
For single-reel header instructions, refer to
Repositioning Fore-Aft Cylinders on Single Reel, page 62
.
For double-reel header instructions, refer to
Repositioning Fore-Aft Cylinders on Double Reel, page 64

Figure 3.32: Fore-Aft Decal
Decal (A) is attached to the right reel support arm for
identifying reel position. The aft edge of 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:
Adjust to a steeper header angle if experiencing difficulty picking
up flattened crop. Refer to
Controlling Header Angle, page 57
for
adjustment instructions. Adjust reel position only if header angle
adjustments are insufficient.
Refer to
3.6.2 Header Settings, page 44
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
3.7.12 Reel Tine Pitch, page 68
for adjustment details.
