reel arm indicator decal (A).
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 is factory-set 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.
