Adjusting Axle Brace - MacDon Draper D65 Installation Instructions Manual

3.11 Adjusting Axle Brace

To adjust the axle brace, follow these steps:
1. Loosen bolts (A) on latch brace (B).
2. Attach latch mechanism (C) to cutterbar.
3. Adjust latch mechanism parallel to attachment plate (D)
and tighten hardware.
NOTE:
Keeping latch mechanism parallel with plate will provide
easy attachment and detachment.
4. Measure distance (A) from inside of rim to inside of rim,
recording the measurement.
5. Measure distance (B) from inside of rim to inside of rim,
recording the measurement.
6. Subtract distance (A) from distance (B).
7. If the difference is between 2–9 mm (0.08–0.35 in.) then no
more adjustment is required. Move the header and
transport approximately 3 m (10 ft.) forward and measure
again. Verify that the difference between distance (A) and
distance (B) is still the same.
8. If necessary, readjust latch mechanism (A) parallel to
attachment plate (B).
NOTE:
Latch mechanism should easily attach to and detach from
plate when correctly adjusted.
9. If latch is readjusted, repeat Step
42.
