6.5.2 Adjusting the Rear Deflector (Fluffer Shield)
DANGER
Stop engine and remove key from ignition before leaving operator's seat for any reason. A child or even
a pet could engage an idling machine.
The fluffer shield or rear deflector slows the crop exiting the conditioner rolls, directs the flow downward, and fluffs
the material.
Adjust the rear deflector as follows:
1. For more crop control in light material, lower the
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 the
deflector (A) is not twisted.
3. Tighten handles (B) to secure deflector position.
6.5.3 Adjusting the Swath Baffle
The swath baffle (A) determines the width and height of
the windrow.
It 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.
To adjust the swath baffle, follow these steps:
DANGER
Stop engine and remove key from ignition before
leaving operator's seat for any reason. A child or
even a pet could engage an idling machine.
