14. Check the draper seal between the drapers and the
cutterbar. Ensure there is a 1–2 mm (0.04–0.08 in.) gap (A)
between cutterbar (C) and draper (B).
15. Refer to 6.12.5 Adjusting Deck Height, page 451 to achieve
the proper gap.
6.12.3 Adjusting Side Draper Tension
The drapers are tensioned at the factory and should NOT require adjustment. If adjustment is required, draper tension
should be just enough to prevent slipping and to keep the draper from sagging below the cutterbar.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine,
