INSTALL HOOD AND DEFLECTORS
1. Loosen 5/8 nut (A) at center link adjusting bolt.
2. Loosen three 1/2 x 1 inch carriage bolts
securing hood to frame at left, right and
center. Swing top hood assembly into field
position and fasten to main frame with 1/2 x 1
inch carriage bolts and serrated flange nuts at
(B), seven places. NOTE: If necessary,
temporarily
remove
hardware (C) should it interfere with swinging
the hood into field position.
3. Attach top support angles to main fame with
3/8 x 3/4 carriage bolts and smooth flange lock
nuts at (C), both sides.
4. Install side deflectors as follows: Insert deflector adjuster rod (E) through opening in hood side shield at
(J), then insert threaded rod of deflector into frame bracket and secure with two ¾ nuts at (D), both sides.
Hardware (D) must be tight enough to hold deflectors in position, but still allow positioning with adjuster
rods. If forming shield side deflectors are too loose, or if they bind when moved with adjuster rods, back off
top nut and adjust lower nut as required. Then, holding lower nut with a wrench, tighten top nut securely
against lower nut.
5. Set forming shield side deflectors to desired width by repositioning adjuster rods (E) in holes. To ensure
windrow placement is centered with respect to tractor wheels, rear edge of left and right side deflectors
must be equal distance from tongue center pivot, as shown on decal (F) on the top shield. To achieve this
setting, adjuster rods must be in the corresponding hole both sides. Count holes from inner-most hole (G).
6. Adjust the rear deflector (H) to suit crop conditions. Adjust down for more crop control in light material, and
up for clearance in heavier crops. To adjust rear deflector, pull up or push down one side of deflector, then
repeat at the other side. There is no hardware to be loosened. For even windrow formation, be sure the
deflector is not twisted.
