Adjusting Twine Arm Timing (Baler with BaleMaster Control Monitor Only)

The twine arm travel is adjusted with the BaleMaster control monitor keys. Nevertheless, after having replaced or serviced the twine arm or the twine arm actuator, the upmost relative position of the twine arm must be correctly adjusted prior to performing the twine arm travel with the BaleMaster control monitor.

There must be a distance (A) of 60 mm (2.36 in.) between right-hand panel of bale chamber (B) and tip of twine arm (C) when twine arm actuator is fully extended. The twine arm must also exert a positive action on twine cutter linkage (D) on its way back to "home" position, otherwise twine will not be cut.

Adjust as follows:

Move twine arm to the extreme right-hand position by means of the control monitor. The actuator is now fully extended.

Loosen cap screw (E).

Move actuator support (F) in slot (G) to obtain specified distance (A) and to obtain positive action of twine arm on twine cutter linkage.

Retighten cap screw (E).

Move twine arm to "home" position and check that positive action of twine arm on twine cutter linkage is obtained.
