roll universal shaft.
NOTE:
Only three bo
lts shown in the illu stra tion.
2. Manually rotate upper roll until it stops. Make a mark
on yoke flange to align with the center of one of the
bolt (A) hea d s.
3. Manually rotate upper roll in opposite direction until it
stops. Make a second mark on yoke flangetoalign
with the bolt.
4. Determine the center between the two marks, and

third line.
6. Ensure thread s on bolts (A) are clean and free of
lubricant.

3.15.9 Forming Shields: Roll Conditioner
WARNING
Keep everyone several hundred feet away from your operation. Ensure bystanders are never in line with
the front or rear of the machine. Stones or other foreign objects can be ejected from either end with force.
A wider windrow will generally dry faster and more evenly resulting in less protein loss. Fast drying is especially
important in areas where the weather allows only a few days to cut and bale. A narrower windrow may be preferable
for ease of pick-up and when drying is not critical (for example, when cutting for silage or green-feed).
The position of the forming shields controls the width and placement of the windrow. Deciding which forming shield
position to use is based on the following factors:
• Weather conditions (rain, sun, humidity, wind)
• Type and yield of crop
• Available drying time
• Method of processing (bale s, silage, green-feed)
Positioning Side Deflectors: Roll Conditioner
The position of the side deflectors controls the width and placement of the windrow. To ensure windrow placement
is centered with respect to the carrier wheels, set both side deflector s to the same position.
DANGER
To avoid bodily
injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop engine and remove key
from ignition b
efore leaving operator's seat for any reason.
