Notes:
1. Draper speed is given as the amount of complete turns out from fully closed on the speed control knob. To set draper speed,
turn knob fully clockwise then turn counter clockwise the number of complete turns outlined in chart above.
2. It is recommended to have the guard angle as shallow as possible. Center link position depends on skid shoe and stabilizer wheel position. Set
guard angle and skid shoe position to maximize amount of poly on the ground while maintaining desired cutting height.
3. Knife speed is given as minimum knife drive pulley RPM for single knife drive headers only.
4. Reel speed given as a percentage above ground speed.
5. Cutting height is controlled with a combination of skid shoes, stabilizer wheels and header angle. Having the header "ride" on the skid shoes or
stabilizer wheels allows the adapter to float the header over obstacles and follow grand contours.
6. Whisker divider has to be ordered through parts. Having the divider rod at its shallowest or second to shallowest setting provide good dividing in
standing crop. In down crop this setting allows the divider to skim over the down crop and provide down pressure on the crop to aid in a cleaner
cut at the RH edge. The LH divider is not as crucial as it usually only comes into play when opening a check. There is no need to have a
matched set of divider rods between the LH and RH ends.
