5. Measure the clearance (X) at all possible points of
contact between points (B) and (C) at the ends of each
reel (A).
NOTE:
The reel is factory-set to provide more clearance
at the center of the reel than at the ends (frown)
to compensate for reel
fl
exing.
NOTE:
When measuring reel clearance at the center of
a double reel header, measure the lowest reel.
6. Check all possible points of contact between points (B)
and (C). Depending on the reel fore-aft position,
minimum clearance can result at the guard tine,
hold-down, or cutterbar.
7. Adjust the reel if necessary. Refer to
