15. INSTALL AND TIGHTEN R/H CRANK
HARDWARE - After tightening all assembled
hardware, check that both cams are in time (at
the same position). When they are timed, attach
right cranks to bats, using the same hardware

Step 8.
Tighten only until bat is clamped to crank tube.
Do not collapse bat and tube by over-tightening.
16. Perform Pre-Delivery Checklist (yellow page at
back of this book).
IMPORTANT: Reel works best when fingers
come as close to cutterbar as possible without
interference. Be aware that flexing of header
and reel over bumps can result in contact if
clearance settings are insufficient. See page 15
for minimum clearance settings.
Refer to windrower or combine Operator's
Manual for reel clearance adjustment. On some
models it may be necessary to install risers on
the reel support arms to achieve adequate
clearance. If so, these will have been included in
the mounting package.
