The above dimensions are provided as
guidelines only. Tines may slightly contact
the guards, but not the knife sections or
the auger pan.
a. Rotate reel slowly by hand, and check tine
clearance at knife and pan. Flex tines to
simulate crop-loaded position to ensure tine
clearances to knife sections and auger pan are
adequate for working conditions.
b. Check that reel rotates freely.
In order to set reel as close as possible to
the knife and pan, it may be necessary to
trim a small number of tines that appear
exceptionally long.

lower to ground.

before leaving Operator's seat for any
reason. A child or even a pet could engage
an idling machine.
