DRAPER SPEED CONTROL
Draper speed is adjusted at the flow control on the
combine adapter. Rotate flow control knob (C) to
a number suited to the crop. The higher the
number, the faster the draper speed. The following
settings are recommended for optimum feeding
capacity.
NOTE: If sufficient draper speed cannot be
achieved, a possible cause is low relief pressure.
See "Flow Control Relief Pressure" in
Maintenance/Service section.
