Hart-Carter (Hcc) Reel; Hcc Reel - Tine Pitch Adjustment - Honey Bee Grain Belt Plus Owner's Manual

If crop is building up in the center of a split reel, the fingers/ tines may be
heated and bent slightly to ensure the crop does not build up at the gap.

Hart-Carter (HCC) Reel

The HCC reels supplied with the Grain Belt Plus header
are 6-bat reels, with plastic tines.
The tines are fastened around steel bat tubes using 7/32"
metal screws. The bats pivot within plastic bearings that
are located at the ends of each reel arm (spoke).
To adjust the pitch of the tines, refer to the illustrations and
instructions below.
HCC Reel – Tine Pitch Adjustment
Locate the tine pitch adjustment levers, and tine-pitch adjustment bolts, located at both ends
of the reel.
Loosen the adjustment bolts, and then move the adjustment levers accordingly to set the
desired pitch. (*Hint: Start reel with a pitch of about 5° as shown.)
Re tighten the adjustment bolt, securing the pitch setting.
Ensure that the adjustment bolts & levers are set to the same relative position
for each side. Too great a pitch causes reel to wind with cut crop because the
tines do not release the crop after it is cut.
