1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control levers to
the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. To adjust the baffle, loosen the nut (Figure 29).
4. Adjust the baffle and nut in the slot to the desired
discharge flow and tighten the nut.
