Check for Bent Rubber Crop Deflectors

1. Bent rubber crop deflectors can prevent the counterknife angle from raising high enough. The net material can wrap the rubber roll or can split near the edge and wrap the number 8 roll spirals.

   To avoid personal injury from unexpected knife movement, disconnect the monitor-controller power plug or the net wrap actuator wiring connector when performing adjustment or working in area.

   Turn the monitor-controller selector switch to OFF. Turn the tractor ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key. Disconnect the monitor-controller power plug from the power source or disconnect the wiring harness connector (A) from the net wrap actuator.

   B - Rubber Crop Deflector

   Visually check the position of both rubber crop deflectors (B). If either of the crop deflectors are sticking out between the outside belts and the side sheet of the baler:
   • Remove the rubber crop deflectors if not baling cornstalks, milo, or sorghum.
   • Reverse or replace the rubber crop deflectors.
   • Trim the top edge of the rubber crop deflectors. (See your John Deere dealer.)
