OPERATION
3.7 Positioning the Conditioner Forming Shield
To adjust the position of the conditioner forming shields, follow these steps:
Make sure the forming shield (B) is high enough to clear
the deck when it is lowered (A).

1. Remove the hairpin (A).
2. Adjust strap (B) to achieve the ideal position.
NOTE:
The forming shield should be as low as possible
without interfering with deck.

3. Adjust the left-hand side deflector (B) to direct crop
towards the inboard side of the DWA back sheet (C).
NOTE:
If center delivering, the left-hand deflector (B) can
be moved inward to form a narrower windrow.
4. Adjust the right-hand side deflector to the widest
position without affecting crop flow. This is where the
deck is farthest from the conditioner rolls.
