Tensioning

Proper tension must be maintained on the draper to prevent slipping on the drive rollers. The

draper tension is changed by adjusting the drive roller of each deck.

Spring Tension Indicator

The spring tensioners are equipped with a spring

length indicator to show the proper amount of

tension that should be applied when the decks are

tensioned, prior to eld operation.

For proper tension, the tip of the indicator should be even with the end of the

spring. This allows for good draper tension, while still having spring compression

left over for crop loads on the draper.

To check if tensioning is required:

• Engage the power unit drive with the engine at low idle.

• Observe from the cab how the drapers are tracking.

If adjustment is required, lower the swather to the ground, raise the reel and lock

in place. Shut down the swather, and turn off the engine before exiting the cab.

If tensioning is still required:

• Adjust the tension by turning the adjuster bolt

(Quick Release doesn't need to be released

when adjusting).

• Turn the adjuster bolt clockwise (shorten

the bolt) to decrease tension, or counter-

clockwise (lengthen the bolt) to increase

tension.

When increasing tension, do not

compress the spring past the

indicator tip.

Restart the windrower and repeat the running test. Re-adjust as necessary.

NOTE!
