9.12 DRAPER DEFLECTORS
D60 single knife headers are equipped with
rubber deflectors that are attached to the inboard
side of the endsheets to prevent material from
falling through the gap between endsheet and
draper.
In some cases, material hesitates on deflectors
and will not flow onto draper. Replace existing
deflector with a narrower one, or rework existing
deflector.

onto endsheet bracket, and attach with seven

deflector.
