Mount a basket to each cutting-unit carrier frame by inserting the basket mounting pin into the basket-guide bracket and pressing the opposite mounting pin into the pivoting basket bracket (Figure 12).
Important: Ensure that the front of the basket does not contact the reel. If there is contact, refer to Adjusting the Basket Position.
Make sure that the basket is parallel to the cutting unit with a minimum clearance of 6 mm (0.250 inch) between the lip of the basket and the reel. If an adjustment to the basket position is required, proceed as follows:
On each side of the basket, loosen the nuts on the carriage bolts securing the basket stop brackets to the basket (Figure 13).
Position the basket so that it is parallel to the cutting unit with a minimum clearance of 6 mm (0.250 inch) between the lip of the basket and the reel (Figure 13).
On each side of the basket, adjust the basket stop brackets so that they each contact a carrier-frame arm.
Tighten the nuts on the carriage bolts to secure the basket position.
