OPERATION
3.3 Endshields
The endshields are molded polyethylene covers that are attached to the ends of the header. They mainly provide
shielding for the header drive components and also display the make of the combine. The left endshield is hinged
to the endsheet, and can be opened for routine maintenance or easily removed for major servicing. The right
endshield is bolted directly to the header.
