UNLOADING & ASSEMBLY
NOTE: For Rice Special Headers only, install reel
arm slope enhancement brackets. Instructions are
packaged with the brackets. See "Options and
Attachments".
ASSEMBLE BAT REEL
1. Remove all strapping and shipping wire and
discard away from assembly area.
2. Raise reel support arms and engage reel props
(A).
3. Loosen positioning screw under reel mounting
channels (B) and move channels to desired
position. See "Reel Position - Fore & Aft" under
Header Operation, page 24. Be sure
positioning screw is in the same hole at each
reel arm.
4. Attach main reel tube to reel mounting
channels.
NOTE: For 36', before attaching tube at reel
drive, rotate tube so that the lugs for mounting
reel arms on both reel tubes are aligned. This will
ensure that reel bats are aligned, not staggered
between left and right reels. Also for 36', install
reflectors at both ends of header.
