MacDon PW8 - Adjusting the Pan Seal Assembly

215575 101 Revision B
3.14 Adjusting the Pan Seal Assembly
The pan seal assembly provides a tighter seal for the rear draper. However, the draper connection hardware will eventually
wear down the rubber flap. If plugging occurs between the rear draper and the pan seal bar, the rubber flap can be
removed to eliminate the pan seal.
WARNING
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
To remove the pan seal:
1. Raise the header fully and engage the combine safety props.
2. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
