2. Set side deflectors (A) to the desired width by loosening
handle (B) and moving deflector (A). Tighten the handle.
Repeat at opposite side. 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.
3. If side deflector attachment is too tight or too loose,
tighten or loosen nut (C) as required.
