To prevent material from entering drapers and cutterbar, maintain deck height so that draper runs just below
cutterbar with maximum 1/32 in. (1 mm) gap, or with draper deflected down slightly (up to 1/16 in. [1.5 mm]) to
create a seal.
NOTE: Measurement is at supports with header
in working position and decks slid fully
ahead.

To avoid bodily injury from fall of raised reel,
always engage reel safety props before going
under raised reel for any reason.
