4.5.9 Rotary Deflectors
The rotary deflectors are designed to deliver cut material from the ends of the cutterbar and help maintain an even
flow of crop into the conditioner. Rotary deflectors are attached to only the two outboard discs at each end of
the cutterbar.
IMPORTANT:
The outboard deflectors (B) are approximately
29/32 in. (23 mm) smaller in diameter than the inboard
deflectors (A).
Inspecting Rotary Deflectors
Inspect rotary deflectors daily for signs of damage or wear.
