Figure 5.165: Underside of Center Arm
5. Double-reel headers: adjust center arm lift cylinder stop (A)
to change the reel-to-cutterbar clearance at the inboard
ends of the reels as follows:
a. Loosen nut (B).
b. Turn nut (C) counterclockwise to raise the reel and
increase the reel-to-cutterbar clearance, or clockwise
to lower the reel and decrease the reel-to-cutterbar
clearance.
c. Tighten nut (B).
6. Measure the reel clearance again. For instructions, refer to Measuring Reel Clearance, page 198. If necessary, repeat
the reel-to-cutterbar clearance adjustment procedure.
WARNING
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared the area.
7. Start the engine.
8. Move the reel back to ensure that the steel end fingers do NOT contact the deflector shields.
9. If contact between the steel end fingers and the deflector shields occurs, adjust the reel upward to maintain the reel-
to-cutterbar clearance at all reel fore-aft positions. If contact between the steel end fingers and the deflector shields
still occurs after adjusting the reel, trim the steel end fingers to obtain the proper clearances.
NOTE:
Periodically inspect the equipment for abrasion damage caused by insufficient equipment clearance. Adjust the
clearances as needed.
