Draper Slip Warning

A slipping draper can severely damage the draper belts. Slippage is typically caused by debris inside the draper.

If the left or right draper idler roller begins to slip, a warning

tone will sound and one of the following messages (A) will

appear on the HarvestTouch

• Disengage header. Left draper slipping.

Disengage header. Right draper slipping.

The Operator cannot cancel the message.

A draper slip sensor failure will disable the sensor and a fault will

appear on the display. Contact your MacDon Dealer for service.

The draper slip warning is disabled when a double draper drive

kit is installed.

The ideal cutting speed of the knife should achieve a clean cut. Crop types and conditions influence the knife and

forward speeds.
