OPERATION
Adjusting Rear Deflector (Fluffer Shield)
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 rear deflector slows the crop exiting the conditioner rolls, directs the flow downward, and "fluffs" the material.
To adjust the rear deflector, follow these steps:
1. For more crop control in light material, lower the rear
deflector (A) by pushing down on one side of the
deflector and then down on the other side. Locking
bolts (B) are located at either end of the deflector and
may be loosened slightly.
2. For heavier crops, raise the deflector by pulling up on
one side and then up on the other side.
NOTE:
For even windrow formation, be sure the
deflector is not twisted.

Adjusting Deflector Fins
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.
Adjustable deflector fins help to provide different swath widths and distribution of crop across the windrow. To adjust
the deflector fins, follow these steps:
1. Angles for the short fins (A) can be adjusted by
loosening mounting bolt(s) and rotating as required.
The long fins (B) can be adjusted using the slots in
the cover.
2. Set fins approximately parallel to side deflectors for
wide swath and adjust as required for even distribution
of crop across full width. For narrow windrow less than
1780 mm (70 in.), remove fins.
