If net wrap unit is installed, check areas that will contact net wrap. These areas must be clean and smooth to help prevent mesh wrappage on rubber roll. Polish all of sheet metal area until smooth using SCOTCH-BRITE or ultra-fine sandpaper. When using sandpaper, polish marks must be parallel to movement of mesh. (See USING NET WRAP AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE in Preparing Baler for Net Wrap section.)
