Swath Board

The Swath Board (W) is located on the outer end of the cutter bar. The swath stick can be positioned at three

settings to handle different crop conditions such as long, short or flattened crops. Remove the front bolt (Y),

move the swath stick to the desired position and reinstall the bolt in the new hole. (See Figure 17.)

A Compression Spring (X) on the swath board provides enough pressure to keep the board in place while

allowing the board to flex if an obstruction or heavy build-up of material is met. It may be necessary to increase

the tension of spring by tightening the nut on the carriage bolt securing the swath board. (See Figure 18.)
