4. When using plastic twine and small sisal twine, wrap twine a FULL turn around twine moving indicator (A). Check that indicator is free to spin.

NOTE: Wrapping large sisal twine a full turn around the indicator may cause the twine to cling to itself and break or cause excessive twine tension.

When using large sisal twine, route twine around indicator (A) without making a full turn.

5. Route twine through guides (B-D).

CAUTION: Twine arm(s) can move unexpectedly when twine arm power is on. Stay out of the path of twine arm(s) at all times when twine arm power is on. During service or adjustment procedures for twine arm(s) or twine cutter mechanism, turn off power to twine arm(s) BEFORE placing your hands in the path of twine arm travel.

If there is crop material which is holding twine arm(s) from moving freely during twine arm cycle, it is recommended that twine arm(s) be manually positioned to release any "hold" they may have on the crop material. Turn off power to twine arm(s). This will help to make the unplugging operation easier and prevent twine arm(s) from moving unexpectedly while your hands may be in the path of the twine arm(s). Stay out of the path of twine arm(s) at all times when power to twine arm(s) is ON.

NOTE: Single twine arm (rear arm only), Go to Step 8.

6. If equipped with front twine arm (double twine arms), remove spring pin (B).
