IMPORTANT:
If belts are new and have not been used, add baby powder to simulate crop dust or the belts may not track properly on the rolls.
1.
Remove any wrappage or buildup on rolls.
2.
Determine if gate closes evenly using the following instructions:
a.
Open gate using tractor hydraulics.
b.
Stop tractor engine.
c.
Move tractor SCV lever to float position to allow gate to close freely.
d.
If both sides of gate contact main frame at the bottom, proceed to Step 3.
|
e.
If one side makes contact but the other side has a gap between gate and frame, see your John Deere dealer for proper procedure to straighten the gate.
3.
Park baler on a level surface. With baler empty and gate closed, engage PTO and run at slow speed. Check the tracking of the belts.
NOTE:
If adjusting is necessary, raise gate with tractor selector control valve (SCV) until tension arm rotates, releasing belt tension. Lock gate.
4.
Shut off tractor engine. Adjust rolls, if necessary. (See ADJUSTING BELT TRACKING in this section.)
