If installed, the manual tilt cylinder can be rotated
using the two handles to change the angle between
the header and the subframe.
When adjusting the manual tilt cylinder do not
exceed the range shown in the illustration below.
Fig. 76 - Activate Header Tilt mode
41.3 cm - 48.9 cm
(16 1/4” - 19 1/4”)

lift safety stops, shut OFF engine, set parking
brake, and remove key before exiting the cab.
DO NOT EXTEND THE TILT CYLINDER
BEYOND 48.9 cm (19 1/4”) OR THE HEADER

16.3 - Reel Settings & Controls
The reel on the header is designed to assist in
separating cut crops from uncut crops then sweep
them across the feather plates between the knife
and the drapers in order to obtain a steady flow.
Reel configuration is extremely important for optimal
header performance. The order of importance of
these settings are:
• Finger Pitch
• Fore-Aft position.
•
Reel Height
• Reel Speed.
See section
98 for reel
adjustment information
Fig. 77 - Reel Finger Clearance
1 1/2” Minimum
16.3.1 - Finger Pickup Settings (Pitch)
Start by adjusting the finger pitch so fingers are
perpendicular to the cutter bar.
For crops that are down or lodged, adjust fingers
to be more aggressive, lifting the crop and
dropping it onto the draper decks.
If the crop starts to wrap around reel, this
indicates the need to adjust the fingers to a less
aggressive setting and/or finger spacing (2 1/2”,
5” or mixed spacing).
Adjust the fingers to suit your individual needs
and make note of the best settings for each of the
crop conditions you encounter.
