20.8 - Reel
20.8.1 - Set Reel Safety Stops
End reel arms: Raise reel completely and engage
safety stops on reel lift cylinders at each end
of the header. The stop must be snapped over
cylinder with the lock pin.

Center reel arm: Pin reel arm in front of arm on
center reel arm tower to hold it up mechanically.

20.8.2 - Rephasing Reel Cylinders
If cylinders become unevenly extended, retract
the cylinders and hold the cylinder retract switch
for a few seconds to remove air from the system,
then fully raise the reel and hold to allow the rest
of the cylinders to rephase.
In order to fully extend RH reel lift cylinder the
header reel must be running. Failure to run the
header when you fully lift the reel will result in
the RH reel lift cylinder only extending partially.
20.8.3 - Automatic Reel Speed
The reel speed sensor is calibrated for various
combines. Additional calibrations can be added
via software updates. Auto reel speed only works
when auto header height is active.
Automatic control will not work if ground speed
is less than 1 km/h (0.62 mph). When driving the
header slowly through a lodged crop, shut off
auto control and use manual speed controls.
It is recommended that the reel speed be set
10-20% faster than combine ground speed.
20.8.4 - Reel Speed Sensor
Adjustment
The reel speed sensor (and all other speed
sensors) must be adjusted so the face of the
sensor is touching the rotating trigger,
then
unscrew 1.5 turns (1 turn = 1mm)
. The rotating
trigger is the teeth on the small reel drive gear.
This is adjustable externally with no disassembly
required. When adjusting the speed sensors,
unplug the connecting wire so the body of the
sensor can spin in or out without twisting the wire.
When done, tighten the jam nut with a ¾” wrench
and reconnect the wire.

(0.035-0.037”)
