Adjust Bale Weight with Hydraulic Tension (Option on 359 and 459)

CC7725-UN-23SEP98

A - Knob

B - Reservoir

If the machine is equipped with optional hydraulic bale weight control, bale weight is controlled by adjusting the knob (A) on the pump. If making this adjustment for the first time, remove hydraulic tension completely (turn knob counterclockwise) then increase tension by approximately 1-1/2 turns (turn knob clockwise).

When increasing or decreasing bale tension, adjust by turning knob no more than 1/2 turn. Once knob has been set, continual readjustment will not be necessary under most conditions.

Periodically check the oil level in hydraulic reservoir (B). For maximum compression control, the oil must be level with the mark on the reservoir when the hydraulic cylinder is completely retracted. If necessary, add oil to maintain that level. Use oil specified under Lubrication and Maintenance Section.

IMPORTANT: Keep oil clean, free of dust, water, and sealing compound.
