NOTE:
In crops that are difficult to pick up such as rice, or severely lodged crops that require full forward positioning of the reel,
set the reel tine pitch to provide proper placement of the crop onto the drapers. Refer to 3.7.11 Reel Tine Pitch, page 97
for adjustment details.
Adjusting Reel Fore-Aft Position
The factory-set reel position suits normal conditions, but the fore-aft position can be adjusted as required using the
controls inside the cab.
1. Select FORE-AFT mode on the selector switch in the cab.

2. Operate the hydraulics to move the reel to the desired
position, using decal (A) as a reference.
3. Check the reel clearance to the cutterbar after making
changes to the cam setting. Refer to the following for
measurement and adjustment procedures:
• 6.13.1 Reel Clearance to Cutterbar, page 464
• 6.13.2 Reel Frown, page 467
IMPORTANT:
Operating with the reel too far forward can result in the
fingers contacting the ground. When operating with the
reel in this position, lower the skid shoes or adjust the
header angle as required to prevent damaging the fingers.
