Reel Speed Sensor Installation
Reel speed sensors are located on the left front and left
rear cutting units.
1. Thread reel speed sensor into sensor holder until
dimension shown in Figure 60 is attained. Lock adjust
ment with two (2) jam nuts.
2. Align mounting holes and insert sensor and holder
into hole in top of counterweight.
3. Secure sensor holder to counterweight with 1/4-20 x
3/4" capscrew.
4. Install magnet on end of reel shaft through opening
in end of counterweight with a 3/8-16 x 1" capscrew.
Install magnet so counterbore faces towards end of reel
shaft and smooth side faces out. Tighten capscrew
securing magnet to a maximum torque of 5 ft-lb.
IMPORTANT: Over tightening capscrew securing
magnet will damage magnet and cause sensor to
malfunction.
5. Install cap plug into end of counterweight.
6. Route front sensor wire across carrier frame cross
tube, up the pull arm and connect to wiring harness
above front cutting unit lift cylinders.
7. Route rear sensor wire across carrier frame cross
tube, up the pull arm and connect to wiring harness
connector near engine fuel stop (ETR) solenoid.
8. Use cable ties to secure sensor wires to carrier frame
cross tubes and hydraulic hoses.
IMPORTANT: Make sure sensor wires do not hang
where they could come in contact with hot or mov
ing parts or interfere with operator getting on or off
machine.
