Figure 4.237: Draper Connectors
11. Attach the ends of the draper with tube connectors (B),
screws (A) (with the heads facing the center opening),
and nuts.
NOTE:
The two short tube connectors are attached at the front
and rear of the draper.
12. Install bridge connector (D) using screws (C) and the nuts at
the front end of the draper joint.
NOTE:
Hold screws (C) at a 90° angle to bridge connector (D) while
tightening the nuts. Allowing the screws to rotate while
tightening will cause the bridge connector to bow up.
13. Torque the nuts to 9.5 Nm (7 lbf·ft).
14. Adjust the draper tension. For instructions, refer to
Adjusting Side Draper Tension, page 402
15. Operate the drapers with the engine at idle so the talc or
talc/graphite lubricant makes contact and adheres to the
draper seal surfaces.

IMPORTANT:
New factory-installed drapers are pressure and heat checked at the factory. The gap between draper and cutterbar is set to
