Rephasing Reel Lift Cylinders

IMPORTANT: Always keep reel level with cutterbar.

1. Single Reel Platform:

   If one end of reel is lower than other, reel lift system needs to be rephased..

   1. Raise reel to highest position or lower to lowest position and hold control switch for a few seconds.

   2. Reel should now be level. If reel is still not level, air is trapped in system and must be bled out (see BLEEDING REEL LIFT CYLINDER SYSTEM in this section).

2. Split Reel Platform:

   If center or either end reel arm is lower than other arms, reel lift system needs to be rephased.

      Split Reel Shown

      A - Valve Handles

      Completely lower reel.

   2. IMPORTANT: Reel must be lowered before opening valves. Opening valves with reel raised can cause irregular arm movement resulting in platform damage.

      Open both valve handles (A).

   3. IMPORTANT: Do not raise reel more than half way while valves are open, or transfer of oil may damage platform.

      Partially raise and lower reel several times.

   4. With reel fully lowered, close both valve handles.

   5. Reel should be level. If reel is not level, air is trapped in the hydraulic system and must be bled out (see BLEEDING REEL LIFT CYLINDER SYSTEM in this section).
