6.12.5.3 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 (E) by pushing down on one side of the
deflector, and then on the other side.

NOTE

Locking handles (F) 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 (F) to secure deflector position.

6.12.5.4 Swath Baffle

The swath baffle (G) 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, or

 Direct crop downward to form a wide

swath.

Adjust the swath 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. Remove lynch pin from pin (H), and remove pin.

b. Move lever (J) to re-position swath baffle (G):

 forward to raise baffle, or
 backward to lower baffle.

c. Re-install pin (H) through lever and bracket (K),

and secure with lynch pin.
