ASSEMBLY
INSTALL HEADER SIDE DRAPERS & SET DECK DEFLECTORS
1. Connect side drapers according to chart supplied with drapers, or see your Header Operator’s Manual.
IMPORTANT: Cut off any excess flap only after drapers have been connected and tensioned and overlap
at sides of feed draper deck has been checked (Step 2).
2. For proper feeding in most crops, the header side draper idler rollers should be set to an opening of:
59.5” (1510 mm) for wide deck adapters: John Deere and New Holland TX
41.7” (1060 mm) for narrow deck adapters: Case, Gleaner & New Holland TR
with the side deflectors (A) and rear deflectors (B) set as shown below.
NOTE: Rear deflectors are factory set for a feeder house opening of 64.2” (1630 mm) for wide deck
adapters, and 42.5” (1080 mm) for narrow deck adapters. The rear vertical edge of the rubber flaps
attached to deflectors (B) should just fit inside feeder house opening. If factory setting is not correct for
your model of combine, loosen two bolts (C) (hidden in photos) and adjust rear of deflector to suit feeder
house opening.
Special Cases: For narrow deck only - If deflectors (B) are adjusted inward, readjust side support angles
(D) to maintain vertical position outboard of auger tube.
John Deere Contour Master – Move side deflectors (A) and side drapers out to the maximum width to
prevent interference with the adapter feed auger.
