Adjusting Soft Core Diameter

The gate must be closed and the tension arm all the way down before making soft core diameter adjustment.

Adjust as follows:

Loosen wing nut (A).

Turn cam (B) until desired mark is level with switch roller (C). Adjusting ranges are:

  • From "1" to "4.5" on 570 baler.
  • From "1" to "5" on 580 baler.
  • From "1" to "6" on 590 baler.

Tighten wing nut (A) and check that cam (B) is still aligned with switch roller (C).

IMPORTANT: Diameter of soft core should never be greater than bale size selected. On 590 baler with 0 bar soft core kit, the gate cannot be opened if the switch (D) is still activated by the cam (B).

NOTE: The second cam (E) is the bale size cam. Take care not to modify the position of this cam when adjusting the soft core diameter cam (B).
