15. Check clearance (A) between drapers (B) and cutterbar (C).
Clearance should be 1–3 mm (1/16–1/8 in.). If adjustment
is necessary, refer to 5.7.5 Adjusting Deck Height, page 181.

16. If backsheet deflector (A) requires adjustment, loosen
nut (D) and move the deflector until there is a 1–7mm
(1/32–5/16 in.) gap (C) between draper (B) and the
deflector.
17. Operate the drapers with the engine at idle so the talc or
talc/graphite lubricant makes contact and adheres to the
draper seal surfaces.
5.7.3 Checking and Adjusting Draper Tension
The header’s drapers are tensioned at the factory and rarely need adjustment. If adjustment is required, tension the
drapers just enough so that the drapers do not slip when in operation, and so that the draper does not sag below the
cutterbar; ensure that the draper is adjusted similarly on both sides of the header.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine,
remove the key, and engage the vehicle’s safety props before going under the machine for any reason.
