4.4.7 Curtains

Rubber curtains are installed at the following locations:
• Inboard curtain (A) attached to the center fixed cover.
• Door curtains (B) attached to each cutterbar door.
• Outboard curtains (C) attached to each front corner.
• Top cover (not shown) on finger conditioners only.
The curtains form a barrier that minimizes the risk of thrown
objects being ejected from the cutterbar area. Always keep
curtains down during operation.
Replace the curtains if they become worn or damaged.

Inspecting Curtains

The cutterbar curtains are very important to reduce the potential for thrown objects. Always keep these curtains
down when operating the mower conditioner.
WARNING
Do NOT operate the machine without all the cutterbar doors down or without curtains installed and in
good condition.
