DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up or fall of raised machine, always stop engine,
remove key, and engage safety props before going under header for any reason.
IMPORTANT:
New factory installed drapers are pressure and heat checked at the factory. The gap between draper (A) and
cutterbar (B) is set to 0–3mm(0–1/8 in.). This is to prevent material from entering into the side drapers and stalling
them. You may need to decrease the deck clearance to 0 – 1 mm (1/16 in.).
