Tying a Bale

When full bale size has been reached the bale should be tied.

2. Check pulleys (B) to make sure twines have been caught.

3. Once twines have been caught, stop tractor forward travel.

4. Hold the twine arm in the extreme left-hand position for some seconds to ensure a sufficient number of twine coils at the left end of the bale. This will ensure a stronger tying.

5. Bring back twine arm to "HOME" position by means of manual control switch (A). Stop the return movement several times to ensure a sufficient number of twine coils around the bale.

6. Just before twine arm reaches "HOME" position, stop twine arm for a few seconds to ensure a sufficient number of twine coils around the right end of bale.

7. Let twine arm finish its movement and trip twine cutter linkage.

IMPORTANT: The actuator motor is protected by a thermic fuse. If manual control switch (A) is actuated when actuator is fully extended or fully retracted, the thermic fuse will trip. In this case wait until fuse resets.

If thermic fuse trips, disengage PTO, otherwise twine will continue to unwind. Engage PTO again when thermic fuse resets.

8. While tying the bale, back up 2 to 3 m (8 to 10 ft) (not necessary if baler is equipped with discharging ramp).

Discharge the bale (see "Discharging Bale" in this section).
