6.12.7.2 Rear Deflector (Fluffer Shield)

The rear deflector slows the crop exiting the
conditioner rolls, directs the flow downward, and
"fluffs" the material.

Adjust the deflector as follows:

DANGER

Stop engine and remove key from ignition
before leaving operator's seat for any
reason. A child or even a pet could engage
an idling machine.

a. For more crop control in light material, lower the

deflector (C) by pushing down on one side of the
deflector and then on the other side.

NOTE

Locking handles (D) are located at either
end of the deflector and may be loosened
slightly.

b. 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.

c. Tighten handles (D) to secure deflector position.

6.12.7.3 Baffle

The baffle (E) determines the width and height
of the windrow. It is located immediately behind
and above the conditioning rolls, and can be
positioned to;

• Direct the crop flow into the forming shield

for narrow and moderate width windrows.

• Direct crop downward to form a wide swath.

Adjust the baffle as follows:

DANGER

Stop engine and remove key from ignition
before leaving operator's seat for any
reason. A child or even a pet could engage
an idling machine.

a. Pull lever (F) to disengage from bracket (G) and

move lever forward to raise baffle (E) and
backward to lower baffle.
