6.13.7.2 Rear Deflector (Fluffer Shield)

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

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.

Adjust the deflector as follows:

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

fluffer or rear deflector (C) by pushing “down” on
one side of the deflector, and then on the other
side. 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.

6.13.7.3 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, or

• 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. Remove pin (F).

b. Move lever (G) to re-position baffle (E).

• "forward" to raise baffle, or
• "backward" to lower baffle.
