E-Bale Shape Bars

The variable core diameter (A) can be adjusted from 32 in. (81 cm) up to 4 inches below bale diameter setting at 0.5 in. (1 cm) increments.

The initial setting for variable core diameter is 36 in. (91 cm).

The variable core diameter (A) can only be set at least 4 in. (10 cm) under bale diameter setting so tight, dense, outer layers are formed. High density outer layers (B) helps the bale hold its shape when wrapped and repel water.

To set variable core diameter (A):

• Turn tractor key to ON. Do not start tractor engine.
• Turn monitor-controller ON.
• Depress and hold VARIABLE CORE key (C).
• Press the PLUS or MINUS key until desired setting appears in digital display. Release key to enter

setting into memory. This setting will be used whenever the variable core feature is selected.

To use variable core feature:

• Depress VARIABLE CORE key (C); core indicator (D) indicates that variable core is ON and will stay on throughout the baling process.
• To check variable core setting; depress and hold VARIABLE CORE key (C) to display setting.

  Release and depress VARIABLE CORE key (C) to activate variable core feature. Core indicator (D) should display on monitor-controller.

• To turn variable core feature OFF, depress VARIABLE CORE key (C) twice and core indicator (D) will go out.
• Variable core remains in last operation mode when monitor-controller is turned off and on.

NOTE: Bale shape bars (E) may not reach maximum height when variable core is being formed, due to lower bale forming pressure.
