IMPORTANT: Do not set the swath flaps too narrow, preventing the volume of hay being cut to flow through the swath flaps.

NOTE: The two side swath flaps are adjusted independently of each other.

2. The two side swath flaps (A) are used to set the width of swaths for less than 1.7 m (66 in.). For swaths wider than 1.7 m (66 in.), use the swath flap on 890 auger platform. (See 890 Auger Platform operator's manual.)

3. The top swath flap (B) is used to form a more rectangular and fluffier swath.
