Operator’s Manual and Reference Guide
Double Swath Option – 21, 25, 30,
and 36 Foot Tables
Most Honey Bee Swathers can be equipped with a
double swath option. This option allows the operator
to lay two swaths. The rst swath will be delivered
to the opening on the right end of the swather. On
the next round, the decks can be shifted to the right,
creating an opening on the left end of the swather.
This places the second swath beside the rst. This
option is useful in light crop conditions.
The decks are shifted using hydraulic motors
activated by an electric solenoid on the selector
valve.
The solenoid selector valve reverses the ow
through the output ports when activated.
The deck shift motor and the draper motor are
connected in parallel, so that when the deck arrives
in its new position, the deck shift motor stops and
the draper motor will be running in the opposite
direction.
The deck shift roller chains are located on the back
of the rear panel.
Adjuster bolts at either end of the chain are used to
adjust tension.
The chains should not have too much slack, nor
should they be too tight.
Excess tension will cause the decks to warp.
