CONDITIONER FORMING SHIELD ASSEMBLY
1. Insert threaded rod and welded bolt of side deflector
through hole and notch at front corner of top shield.
IMPORTANT: Do not confuse left and right side
deflectors. Welded rod (A) must be positioned to the
outside of the forming shield assembly.
2. Install two 5/8” hex nuts (B) and (C) on threaded
rod.
3. Tighten nut (B) until snug.
4. Hold nut (B) with a wrench and tighten nut (C)
securely against nut (B).
6. Install one 1/2” lock nut (D) to secure L/H link on
the welded bolt.
7. Operate handle on top shield to adjust side
deflector position. If handle is too stiff, loosen nuts (C) and (B)
and readjust.
NOTE: With hardware securing left hand link in hole (E) as
shown, side deflectors open symmetrically about the center of
the conditioner rolls. Move hardware to hole (F) to allow side
deflectors to open to maximum width. See “Hay Conditioner
Forming Shields” in Operation section.
8. For laying swaths wider than 72 inches (1830 mm), remove
deflector fins (G) from their storage position (H), and install in
holes 2 & 4 on each side of forming shield centerline. Hardware
for fins is stored at (J). Position fins approximately parallel to side
deflectors and tighten bolt securely.
NOTE: Depending on crop conditions,
an additional 4 fins can be installed in
remaining holes, in order to produce
desired swath configurations. Fins are
available from your dealer.
