20.8.5 - Minimum Reel Height and
Leveling Reel
Proper setting of minimum reel height will protect
against unexpected reel movements that can
place reel fingers in contact with cutterbar.
1. Set the header to Rigid mode and wait for
the knife to become fully rigid (up to 15
minutes).
2.
Fully lower table. Fully lower reel.
3.
Adjust finger pitch so the tips of the reel
fingers are as close to the cutter bar as
possible with the adjustment ring at middle
position (5 for HB reels, or 3 for the CAM
reel). See section 16.3 on page 59 for
details on adjusting finger pitch.
4.
Fig. 152 - Reel finger pitch adjustment
Position reel fingers as close to cutterbar
& feather plates as possible, using fore/aft
cylinders.
5.
Using a wrench to rotate the 3/4” UNC
adjustment bolts on the left and right reel
arms, raise or lower reel. Adjust each shaft
so the clearance between the reel fingers
and cutterbar is a minimum of 1 1/2” (3.8 cm)
along full length of reel.

at all times.
