Adjusting Side Draper Tension
The tension on the drapers can be adjusted using the draper tension adjusters on the end of each draper.

To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine,
remove the key, and engage the vehicle
’
s safety props before going under the machine for any reason.
IMPORTANT:
The draper tension is set at the factory, and should not require adjustment. If adjustment is necessary, ensure that the
