Draper Speed
Correct draper speed is an important factor for achieving good
fl
ow of the cut crop away from the cutterbar.
The side drapers and feed draper operate independently of each other, therefore, the speeds are controlled
differently. The side draper speed is adjusted with a manually adjustable control valve that is mounted on the
fl
oat module. The
fl
oat module feed draper speed is
fi
xed to the combine feeder house speed and cannot be
independently adjusted.
Adjust the draper speed to achieve ef
fi
cient crop feeding onto the
fl
oat module feed draper. Refer to
.
Adjusting Header Draper Speed
The side drapers carry the cut crop to the
fl
oat module feed draper which then feeds it into the combine. The
speed is adjustable to suit crops and crop conditions.
The side drapers (A) are driven by hydraulic motors and a
pump that is powered by the combine feeder house drive
through a gearbox on the
fl
oat module. Side draper speed
is set by using the
fl
ow control valve on the
fl
oat module
which regulates the
fl
ow to the draper hydraulic motors.

fl
ow control valve, lightly push bottom of
