2. For more crop control in light material, lower rear
deflector (A) by pushing 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.
3. For heavier crops, raise the deflector by pulling up on one
side and then on the other side.
NOTE:
For even windrow formation, be sure the deflector is not
twisted.

2. Angles for short fins (A) can be adjusted by loosening
mounting bolt(s) and rotating as required. Long fins (B) can
be adjusted using the slots in the cover.
3. 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.
