NOTE:
• Adjus
t reel forward to get closer to ground when tilting header back. Fingers/tines will dig into ground at extreme
reel f
orward positions, so adjust skid shoes or header angle to compensate. Adjust reel rearward to get reel
furth
er away from ground when tilting header forward.
• Heade
r tilt can be increased to get reel closer to ground, or decreased to get reel further away from ground while
keepi
ng material flowing ont o drapers.
•Tole
ave maximum amount of stubble behind in lodged crop, raise header but increase header tilt to keep reel
clos
e to ground. Position the reel fully forward.
•Reel
may have to be moved back to prevent lumps or plugging on cutterbar in thinner crops.
•Mini
mum crop carrying capa cit y (m in imu m a rea of exp osed draper between ree l and he ad e r backsheet) occurs
wit
h the reel in the furthest aft position.
•Max
imum crop carrying capacity (maximum area of exposed draper between reel and header backsheet) occurs
wit
h the reel in the furthest forward position.
•The
tip speed of the fingers/tines at the cutterbar becomes higher than the reel speed at higher cam settings
due
the nature of the cam action. Refer to Table 3.3 FD75 Reel Settings Chart, page 50.
