Inspecting Curtains
WARNING
Do NOT operate the machine without all the cutterbar doors down or without curtains installed and in
good condition.
CAUTION
To avoid injury, keep hands and fingers away from corners of doors when closing.
Rubber curtains are attached to each door and at the front
corners and center
fi
xed cover. The cutterbar curtains are
very important to reduce the potential for thrown objects.
Always keep these curtains down when operating the
mower conditioner.
Check cutterbar curtains for the following conditions:
• Rips and tears: Replace curtain.
• Cracking: While the curtain may look whole, this is an
indicator that failure is imminent—replace curtain.
• Missing
bolts:
Replace
missing
hardware
before operating.
