5.14.5 Adjusting Deck Height
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 and cutterbar
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 1 mm (1/16 in.).
Figure 5.195: Draper Seal
1. Shut down the combine, and remove key from ignition.
2. Check that clearance (A) between draper (B) and

Figure 5.196: Draper Deck Supports

size, there are between two and eight supports
per deck.
