Adjusting Belt Tracking

NOTE: Check belt tracking before making any belt tracking adjustments. (See CHECKING BELT TRACKING in this section.)

If belts are new and have not been used, add talcum powder to simulate crop dust and allow belts to track freely.

Light contact with belt guides is acceptable, but belts should not curl against guide straps.

1. If belts are not centered at lower belt guide (A), make the following adjustment:

• If belts track to the left, raise RIGHT-HAND end of lower rear gate roll (B).
• If belts track to the right, raise LEFT-HAND end of lower rear gate roll.

2. If cap screw has been raised to the top of slot and more adjustment is necessary, raise and lock gate to get additional slack in belts. Lower cap screw in slot on opposite side of baler.

3. If outside belts track to the outside, rubbing the lower belt guide or side of baler, adjust as follows:

• Move roller from the normal outside position (A) on the sender arm to inside position (B). The belt will track towards the middle of the baler.
