Adjusting Bale Full-Size (Mechanical Bale Shape Indicators)

Maximum bale full-size

1. Open gate so that right-hand and left-hand gate dogs (A) are just in fully extended position (gate must be still in contact with dog tips).

With the gate at that position the two bale shape indicator straps (B) must be in top position. Red zones must be flush with top of bale shape windows (C).

NOTE: If one of the red zones is below the top of bale shape windows (C), then readjust relevant bale shape indicator strap (B) before adjusting bale full-size. See "Adjusting Bale Shape Indicator Straps" in "Service" section.

2. Unscrew wing nut (D) and put ramp (E) into the rearmost slot (F), so that switch roller (G) is just level with the edge of ramp (E) as shown. This is the maximum permissible bale size.

3. Tighten wing nut (D).

Intermediate bale full-size

Whenever necessary, bale full-size can be adjusted within the gate dogs (A) extension range to get lower bale density.

1. Unscrew wing nut (D) to readjust ramp (E) position by using one of the other slots (F), changing switch actuation accordingly.

2. Slowly open the gate until switch roller (G) is just level with the edge of the ramp (E).

3. Tighten wing nut (D).
