Prepare for Beginning of Season

Remove grease from the knotter or twister mechanism.

Remove heavy oil and grease from bale case and chains.

Lubricate complete baler (see Lubrication and Maintenance Section). This will force any collected moisture out of bearings.

Check tires for proper inflation pressure.

Check and fill gear case to check plug level.

Tighten all screws, nuts and set screws.

Check timing of entire baler and adjust, if necessary.

If any major parts have been replaced, they must be run in.

Check slip clutch to be sure linings are not bonded to metal plates. Readjust slip clutch (see in Service Section).

Review your Operator's Manual.
