7.5.2 Adjusting the Rear Deflector (Fluffer Shield)

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.

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

Adjust the rear deflector as follows:

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

deflector (A) by pushing down on one side of the
deflector and then on the other side.
NOTE: Locking handles (B) are located at

both ends of the deflector and may be
loosened slightly.

2. 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 (A) is not twisted.

3. Tighten handles (B) to secure deflector position.
