In certain conditions, friction between net roll and stainless steel supports may be too high, causing one or more of the following symptoms:
-
Breaks in net material causing ruptures from bulges of crop material.
-
Net roll will not rotate and feed net onto bale.
-
Net material is tight on some areas of the bale and loose on some other areas.
-
Net material is split around the bale.
-
Plastic, powder-like residue is present on stainless steel supports.
If any of the above conditions occur:
-
Make sure the approved net roll is being used.
-
Decrease tension of brake bar.
Decrease tension on brake bar by moving gas springs (A) to alternate hole positions.
CAUTION:
Support net wrapping cover while removing and installing gas spring to prevent personal injury.

While relocating gas springs, proceed as follows to prevent binding and make repositioning of springs easier:
1.
Remove gas spring from one side.
2.
Reposition other gas spring to desired position.
3.
Reposition first gas spring.
Normal Gas Spring Position
This position decreases the brake bar tension.
-
Cover hole position (B).
-
Brake arm hole position (C).
Optional Gas Spring Position
This position corresponds to the highest brake bar tension.
-
Cover hole position (B).
-
Brake arm hole position (D).
