3. Set the upper deflector door.

-

Raise  or  lower  the  upper  deflector
door  to  adjust  the  amount  of
spreading of material.
-

Use the hydraulic cylinder to adjust
the door.

Note:  If  the  2  remote  option  is
installed,  the  door  cylinder  will  be
linked to the bale lift hydraulic circuit
through an electric solenoid
-  Move the electric selector valve so

the hydraulic flow goes to the door
cylinder.

Raised  -  material  will  be  spread  out
over a wide area - such as for bedding
materials.
-

Place the rubber deflector into the
tabs on the door.

Midway - deflector door will control the
height  and  distance  of  discharged
material.
-

Place the rubber deflector into the
tabs on the door. 

Lowered - the material will be left in a
windrow or directed into a feed bunk.
-

Allow the rubber deflector to hang
down.
