    A - Billet Deflector Shield

    B - Hardware (2 used)

    Billet deflector shield (A) is used to direct cane billets to different heights in primary extractor chamber. Correct adjustment allows for increased control of cane quality and reduction of crop loss.

    Remove and retain hardware (B).



  2. Adjust the deflector shield based on type of cane being harvested.

    • THICK BARREL CANE: When cutting thick barrel cane, adjust deflector shield to the highest position. This position deflects billets to a height closest to the primary extractor fan.
    • MEDIUM BARREL CANE: When cutting medium barrel cane, adjust deflector shield to the medium position. This position aids in the cleaning process and prevents billets from being discharged through primary extractor blades.
    • THIN BARREL CANE: When cutting thin barrel cane, adjust deflector shield to the lowest position. This position aids in the cleaning process and prevents light billets from being discharged through primary extractor blades.

  3. Install previously removed hardware.
