Reel Clearance To Cutterbar - MacDon D1 Series Unloading And Assembly Instructions

8.11 Reel Clearance to Cutterbar

The minimum clearance between the reel fingers and the cutterbar ensures that the reel fingers do not contact the
cutterbar during operation. The clearance is set at the factory, but some adjustment may be necessary before operation.
The finger to guard/cutterbar clearances with reels fully lowered are shown in the table below.
