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 0–3 mm (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.).
1. Shut down the combine, and remove key from ignition.
2. Check that clearance (A) between draper (B) and
cutterbar (C) is 0–3 mm (0–1/8 in.).
3. Take measurement at deck supports (A) with the
header in working position. Depending on the header
size, there are between two and eight supports
per deck.
4. Loosen the draper tension. Refer to
