OPERATION

REEL PROPS

WARNING: To avoid injury from fall

of raised reel, always engage reel

props (A) before going under raised

reel for any reason.

Keep pivot bolt properly tightened so prop remains

engaged with hand force.

36 foot units only:

To engage center reel arm lock pin, raise reel and

install pin at (B). Secure with hair pin.

When not in use, store pin at (C).

REEL HEIGHT

Reel height is controlled from the tractor with

remote cylinder control valve lever. Depending on

crop height, adjust reel height to carry the material

through the sickle onto the drapers.

Down crop will require a lower reel height while

bushy crop may require raising the reel to prevent

unevenness in the windrow.
