2. Set the fore-aft position to mid–position ('5' on the reel
arm indicator decal).
3. Fully lower the reel.
4. Shut down engine. Remove key from ignition.
5. Measure clearance 'X' between points 'Y' and 'Z' at
ends of each reel (A).
NOTE:
The reel has been adjusted at the factory to
provide more clearance at the center of the reel
than at the ends ('frown') to compensate for
reel flexing.
6. Check all possible points of contact between points 'Y'
and 'Z'. Depending on reel fore-aft position, minimum
clearance can occur at guard tine, hold-down,
or cutterbar.
