WARNING
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up or fall of raised machine, stop engine, remove
key, and engage safety props before going under machine for any reason.
NOTE:
The drapers are tensioned at the factory and should NOT require adjustment. If adjustment is required, draper
tension should be just enough to prevent slipping and to keep the draper from sagging below the cutterbar.
