Alignment:
In the same fashion as the lateral drapers, the feeder deck drapers are self tracking, with an
extruded “V” on the draper, and a slotted groove (“V” recession) on the roller. With the “V–
guided” draper, some adjustment may still be required for proper tracking. (See Illustration
10-7: Draper Deck Motor End View, Illustration 10-8: Drive Roller Groove and Illustration
10-9: Roller Extrusion - End View.)
Draper Splicing
Honey Bee Mfg. strives to use top quality draper or draper material on their headers and
swathers. Our draper is made from rubberized polyester with fiberglass reinforced slats.
Regular draper maintenance will help to ensure maximum life-span and minimal problems
with your draper. Checking tension and tracking on a regular basis is very important. If
material is allowed to get inside the draper deck it tends to wrap around the idler and drive
rollers causing the draper to tighten. As the the draper tightens, increased stress is placed on
the motor, bearings, and the draper belt. Premature failure of the motor or bearings, or
tearing of the draper can result. Damage to the draper can arise from a mechanical failure or
field hazards. It is important to identify and correct the condition(s) that caused the failure,
before attempting to repair the draper. If only a portion of draper is damaged, a splice can be
installed to repair it.
Before beginning any repairs you will need two sets of connector bars (including. machine
screws and nuts) and a length of draper 6 inches longer than the section to be removed. (To
determine this length, refer to step #8)
1. Engage parking brake, raise header table and install locks on the feeder house lift
cylinders. (If table height is too high for working, table can be set on blocks or right on
the ground)
2. Raise the reel to its maximum height and lock reel height control arms in servicing
position to prevent reel from falling in the event of a hydraulic failure.
3. Turn combine off, and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop before
leaving the cab.
4. Loosen the tension on the draper.
5. The squareness of the cut is critical to the tracking of the draper. The draper should be
cut between two slats. With a measuring tape, measure and mark a line six inches
from a slat on a good portion of the draper. Place a board under the draper and with a
utility knife and a straight edge cut the draper along the marks. Repeat this procedure
on the other side of the damaged area, cutting this section out.
6. Lay the removed section flat and measure it’s overall length. Take this measurement
and add 6 inches to determine the total length of the replacement piece required.
7. Using a sharp utility knife, trim back and remove 2” of the “V” extrusion from both ends
of the spliced draper, as well as both ends of the old draper.
