  1. Adjust Spring Length

    Spring dimension (A) (coil to coil) must be 35.5—37.5 mm (1.4—1.45 in.) on 339 balers and 34.5—36.0 mm (1.35—1.4 in.) on 349 balers.

    IMPORTANT: Adjust all springs to the same length.

    Tighten or loosen spring adjusting nuts (B) until the correct spring dimension is obtained.

    A - Spring Balance

    B - Lever

    C - 90° Angle

    IMPORTANT: Check slip clutch to be sure linings are not bonded to metal plates.

    Check clutch slippage using spring balance (A) and 3 m (10 ft.) lever (B) attached to power shaft. Exert force at an angle of 90° (C).

    For proper force on lever for clutch slippage, refer to the following specifications:

      339 Baler:

    • 180—230 N (40—51 lb.)
    • 540—690 N·m (390—500 lb.-ft.)

      349 Baler:

    • 220—270 N (49—60 lb.)
    • 660—810 N·m (477—585 lb.-ft.)



IMPORTANT: Excessive slippage will damage the slip clutch. A slip clutch adjusted too tight will not give any protection to the power train.
