OPERATION
Adjusting Forming Shield Height
WARNING
Stop engine, and remove key before making
adjustments to machine. A child or even a pet
could engage the drive.
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
WARNING
Stop engine, and remove key before making
adjustments to machine. A child or even a pet
could engage the drive.
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.
