12. Check that distance (D) between the twine arm (C) and the panel of bale chamber (E) is the same as the distance adjusted with monitor.

If the twine arm (C) is too close to baler panel (E), decrease the value stored in Channel 29 with two pulses on "MINUS" key.

If the twine arm (C) is too far away from baler panel (E), increase the value stored in Channel 29 with two pulses on "PLUS" key.

Repeat adjustment if necessary, until the distance (D) between the twine arm (C) and the panel of bale chamber (E) is the same as the distance adjusted with monitor (accuracy ± 1 cm (0.4 in.)).
