to adjust the reel vertical position.
NOTE:
The factory setting at forward adjuster bolt should be
12 mm (15/32 in.) lower than at rear adjuster bolt. If tine
aggressiveness has changed, then the adjuster bolt offset
may not equal factory settings. Always measure the
adjuster bolt offset and maintain throughout the vertical
adjustment.

NOTE:
Manually rotate the reel, and ensure that tines do not

result. If necessary, grind off the excessive length from the
tine if the tine length varies considerably. Remove any
sharp edges or burrs from the tine.

Checking Reel Tine to Header Pan Clearance
