3. Clamp bale size link (C) to the spring strap cap screw (B) using a pair of locking jaw pliers. (This is to keep the link from moving as the gate is opened.) Position the plier jaws over the spring strap cap screw (or washers) and under lower edge of link.

4. Raise gate fully using tractor hydraulics ( tension arm must be completely raised ), then lock gate.

5. Switch roller (D) must be centered on rear washers (E). If roller is not centered on washers, measure the distance between center of roller to center of rear washers.

6. Close gate and move bracket (A), forward or rearward, the amount previously measured.

7. Repeat Steps 2-6, as necessary, until roller is properly centered.

NOTE: If unable to attain proper roller position, refer to the Round Baler technical manual or see your John Deere dealer.
