Check tires for correct air pressure. See "Preparing the Baler" section.
Tighten all bolts, nuts and set screws. See "Service" section.
Check adjustments of baler as described in "Service" section.

Monitor, check for correct functioning.
Wipe off net feed rolls and check for any sticky material. If necessary, roll may be washed with soap and water. NEVER use solvents to clean rubber feed roll.
