3.16 Draper Deflectors
D60 single-knife headers are equipped with rubber deflectors that are attached to the inboard side of the endsheets to
prevent material from falling through the gap between the endsheet and the draper.
In some cases, material hesitates on the deflectors and will not flow onto the draper. If this happens, replace the existing
deflector with a narrower one or rework the existing deflector.
