Adjusting Twine Guide (Baler without Precutter Device)

Depending on the crop type, the twine guide (B) allows the operator to adjust the distance of the twine from the left end of the bale from 85 to 220 mm (3.34 to 8.66 in.).

IMPORTANT: On balers with BaleMaster Control Monitor, check that the twine guide position matches the monitor setting. See "Adjusting Bale End Wrap Position" in "Operating BaleMaster Control" Section.

On baler with Electronic Wrapping Control Monitor, check that the twine guide position matches the re-extension point setting. See "Electronic Wrapping Control Monitor-Programmed Mode" in "Operating Electronic Wrapping Control" Section.

Adjust twine guide as follows:

Remove spring-locking pin (A).

Slide twine guide rod (B) to align its hole with one of the twine guide tube (C) positioning holes (1-2-3-4-5-6).

Install spring-locking pin (A).

NOTE: When using the baler for dry, slick crops such as straw or flax, align hole in twine guide rod (B) with inside hole (6) of twine guide tube (C).

In this case, twine knife (D) must be relocated as shown.
