MacDon D60 Draper Headers - Manual (Page 62)

SECTION 7. OPERATION
Form 169441 60 Revision B
7.17 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 the endsheet and
the draper.
In some cases material hesitates on the
deflectors, and will not flow onto the draper.
Replace the existing deflector with a narrower
one, or rework the existing deflector.
7.17.1 Deflector Replacement
a. Raise reel fully, and lower header to ground.
b. Stop engine, remove key, and engage reel props.
c. Remove the three carriage bolts (A) securing the
aft end of the existing deflector (B) to the frame
behind the backsheet.
d. Drill out the seven pop-rivets (C) along the
endsheet, and remove the deflector.
e. Position new deflector (part number 172381) (D)
onto endsheet bracket, and attach with seven
pop-rivets (part number 18768) (E).
f. Re-install the three carriage bolts (A) at aft end of
deflector.
7.17.2 DEFLECTOR REWORK
Trim existing deflectors as follows:
a. Mark a straight line (A) on the deflector 4 in.
(100 mm) from and parallel to the back edge of
the deflector.
b. Mark another line (B) on the deflector 4 in.
(100 mm) from and parallel to the endsheet.
c. Using a sharp knife, cut rubber deflector along
the lines (A) and (B), taking care not to cut the
draper underneath the deflector.
d. Cut the rubber deflector along the steel retainer
(C) from the inboard edge up to line (B), and
remove the excess rubber.
