Double knife headers are fitted with hinged
endshields on both ends of the header.

and swivel support away from endsheet toward
the back of the header until it latches (B).

NOTE
Plastic endshields are subject to
expansion or contraction depending on
large temperature variations. Latch pin
can be adjusted to compensate for
dimensional changes.

Check gap ‘X’ between the front end of the shield
and header frame, and compare measurement
