signs on the draper and safety messages within this manual.
Do not allow anyone who has not read this manual or been properly instructed to operate
the draper platform.

Run draper slowly until Outer and Centre draper belts are rotating. The knife and feed drum should
function immediately ; the draper belts and reel may take a minute to begin operating. Set park brake,
shut off engine and remove the key.

Check oil reservoir level and inspect hydraulic system for leaks.
Maintain oil level within the sight glass located on the oil tank on the
rear right hand side of the platform (see image 1).
Inspect the Outer Draper belt tracking, ensuring the centre rib on the Outer
Draper belts are aligned in the drive and idler roller grooves (see image 2).
Inspect the centre belt tracking ensuring the side
rib on the Centre belt
is aligned with the drive and idler roller grooves (see image 3). If adjustment is
required see ADJUST-
MENTS in DRAPER BELT section in this manual.

It is normal for Drive belts to run lightly against pulley edge flange
