considerable force when the machine is started and
may result in serious injury or machine damage.

rock guard.
14. Close cutterbar doors. Refer to
Doors, page 38.
4.4.4 Cutterbar Crop Stream Configuration
Discs are factory installed to produce three crop streams, but disc rotation pattern can be changed by substitution
of spindle and corresponding disc to suit crop conditions. A spindle and disc are rotation specific and must be
changed as sets when altering crop flows.
Reducing or increasing the number of crop streams will
produce the following results:
• Reducing the number of crop streams will result in
narrower windrows.
• Increasing the number of crop streams will result in
smoother, wider windrows.
NOTE:
Increasing the number of crop streams will
also increase the number of diverging disc
pairs which may negatively affect cut quality in
certain conditions.
