Adjusting Belt Tracking (Baler with Net Wrapping)
IMPORTANT:
Check for a 2 to 4 mm (0.08 to 0.16 in.) gap at the lower front belt guide straps. If the gap is too wide, belts will not track correctly and cause damage to the belts and net material.
Check and adjust clearance between ends of all belt guide straps (A) and the bottom cross-member. There must be 2 to 4 mm (0.08 to 0.16 in.) clearance.
If not, loosen cap screws (B) and adjust. If clearance exceeds 4 mm (0.16 in.) in middle of cross-member (D), bend as needed.
Engage PTO and run at slow speed. Observe belt tracking at lower belt guide straps (A).
If belts do not track correctly, use the following procedure:
Lock gate with gate lock valve (590 only).
Using tractor selective control valve, raise belt tension arm to slacken belts (590 only).
Shut off tractor engine.
If belts track to the right, lower right-hand end of lower rear gate roll (C).
If belts track to the left, raise right-hand end of lower rear gate roll (C).
Start engine, lower belt tension arm and recheck tracking. Readjust if necessary.
IMPORTANT:
Check that lower net guide is still in contact with belts. See "Checking Lower Net Guide" in this Section.
