Conditioner forming shield position
Make sure forming shield is high enough to clear
the deck when it is lowered (G). Adjust the
forming shield height by removing hair pin (J)
and moving strap (K) to desired position. The
forming shield should be as low as possible
without interfering with deck.
The left hand side deflector (L) should be in the
widest position to not affect crop flow. If center
delivering, the left hand deflector can be moved
in to make a narrower windrow. The right hand
side deflector should be in the widest position to
not affect the crop flow because this is where
the deck is the furthest from the conditioner rolls.
Adjust rear deflector baffle (H) so the crop flow
does not interfere with the deck when it is fully
raised.
Fins (M) underneath the forming shield can
affect the crop flow. It is recommended to
remove fins, especially with an R80 in light crop.
Conditioner rolls position
The gap between the conditioner rolls needs to
be small enough to properly throw the crop on to
the double windrow attachment. The gap is
dependent on crop type and yield. If the gap is
too little for heavy crops, this consumes
excessive engine power and is hard on all the
components affected. If the gap is too large, the
crop will not have enough velocity to reach the
side delivery deck. See conditioner Operator’s
manual for adjustment procedure.
