OPERATION
HAY CONDITIONER FORMING SHIELDS
(continued)
Forming Shield Height
Depending on the amount of crop material,
the rear of the forming shield assembly can
be raised or lowered to properly deflect the
crop. For heavier crops use the higher
settings:
• XX40 & XX50 series tractors use 4 th or
5 th hole from the bottom on the rubber
strap.
• XX52/XX52i tractors use 1 st or 2 nd hole
from the bottom of rubber strap.
For lighter crops, lower forming shield as
required to form the most uniform windrows.
Note that too low a setting will cause
uneven and poorly formed windrows.
To adjust forming shield rear height, remove
hairpin at (N), both sides, and raise or lower
shields to desired height.
NOTE: For normal operation, front of
forming shield assembly is attached to
conditioner top cover. If desired, shield
assembly can be fully tractor mounted with
front of shield assembly attached to top rear
pin of tractor lift linkage. This
accommodates frequent removal of header
from tractor. See Assembly section for details.
Deflector Fins
Four deflector fins provided standard are stored at (K) on the top L/H side of the top cover. Additional fin
hardware required is stored at (J).
Use deflector fins as shown at (D) to evenly distribute material when laying swaths wider than 72 inches (1830
mm). Fin position can be adjusted without loosening mounting bolt. 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 72 inches (1830 mm) remove fins.
NOTE: Four additional fins (available from your dealer) may be mounted in holes (A) for even crop distribution
in swaths over 90 inches (2286 mm) wide.
