OPERATION
Adjusting Forming Shield Height
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected starup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove
the key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
The height of the forming shield affects the shape and consistency of the windrow. A heavy crop will require the
forming shield to be set near the highest position and a lighter crop needs the forming shield to be lower. Adjust the
forming shield height as follows:
1. Remove hairpins (A) securing straps (B) to pins on
windrower frame.
2. Support aft end of forming shield and relocate straps
to the desired hole.
3. Secure straps with hairpins.

Adjusting Side Deflectors
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected starup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove
the key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
The position of the side deflectors controls the width and placement of the windrow. To adjust the position, follow
these steps:
1. Set side deflectors (A) to desired width by loosening
handle (B) and moving deflector (A). Tighten handle.
Set both deflectors to approximately the same position.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure windrow placement is centered with respect
to windrower wheels, adjust both side deflectors to
the same position. To achieve this setting, adjuster
handles must be in the same location on both sides.
2. If side deflector attachment is too tight or too loose,
tighten or loosen nut (C) as required.
