Set the reel finger timing (angle) to a position
suitable for your crop conditions. Always check
finger clearance after adjusting timing.
See section 16.3.1 on page 59 for details.
14.1.2 - Reel Height Adjustment
(bottom limit based on finger timing)
Once finger timing has been determined, adjust
the reel height via the reel height adjustment
bolts. With the header in rigid mode, ensure the
reel maintains a distan
ce of 1 1/2” (3.8 cm)
from
the cutter bar & feather plates.
Adjust the reel arms at the ends of the table
first, then adjust the center reel arm. Multiple
adjustments may be required.

Maintain a minimum of 1 1/2” (3.8 cm) of
clearance between the reel fingers and cutter
bar/feather. This clearance must be set while
the header is in Rigid mode.
If harvesting low or downed crops, you may
reduce this clearance to 1” (3.8 cm) but will risk
cutting the reel fingers in the cutter bar, this
damage is not covered under warranty.
