Subject: Reels may continue to rotate in the ‘Off” or “Disabled” position
While the engine is running the reels may rotate, slowly or without force, after being
turned “Off” or “Disabled” due to normal tolerance variations and inefficiencies in
hydraulic circuitry. The rotation is usually prevented with the resistance created by light
reel-to-bedknife contact, reel bearing load and tight tolerances in drive components.
This rotation normally does not occur when proper maintenance is followed (refer to
service list below), and the unit is operated in a manner that does not overheat the
hydraulic system. This situation may be more noticeable if the recommended
maintenance and bedknife contact is not maintained.
Warning: As with any cutting unit, NEVER use your hands or attempt to
manually stop a reel that is turning, no matter what speed or conditions are in
effect.
Should you discover that the reels rotate after being turned “Off” or while in the
“Disabled” position, perform the following steps:
Reel bearing preload properly adjusted
Light reel-to-bedknife contact
All bearings and pivots are greased properly
Reel motor efficiency is within specifications
Refer to the Operator’s Manual or Service Manual for proper service and repair
information.
