Adjusng Forming Shield Side Deectors — Roll Condioner
For rm and level ground, increase the ground speed to
16 km/h (10 mph) and higher, or unl the quality of
cung and condioning are compromised.
For uneven and loose ground, slow the ground speed to
minimize bouncing and prevent cuerbar damage and
uneven stubble.
