4.5.2 Adjusting the Rear Deflector (Fluffer Shield)

DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition before leaving the operator's seat for any reason.
The rear deflector (fluffer shield) slows the crop exiting the conditioner rolls, directs the flow downward, and fluffs
the material.
1. For more crop control in light material, lower
deflector (A) by pushing down on one side of the
deflector and then on the other side.
NOTE:
Locking handles (B) are located at both ends of the
deflector and may be loosened slightly.
2. For heavier crops, raise the deflector by pulling up on
one side and then on the other side.
NOTE:
For even windrow formation, be sure deflector (A) is not
twisted.
3. Tighten handles (B) to secure deflector position.

4.5.3 Adjusting the Swath Baffle

The swath baffle determines the width and height of the windrow.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition before leaving the operator's seat for any reason.
The swath baffle (A) is located immediately behind and above the conditioning rolls and can be positioned to:
•
Direct the crop flow into the forming shield for narrow and moderate width windrows
•
Direct crop downward to form a wide swath
