If baler is equipped with variable (soft) core option (A), unplugging can be done from the tractor station following these steps:

1. Set variable core diameter at least 3 in. (8 cm) above displayed bale size. Note, variable core diameter can only be set up to 4 in. (10 cm) below preset bale size, so it may be necessary to increase preset bale size to increase the variable core diameter. If displayed bale size is greater than 67 in. (170 mm), use procedure in previous section "Unplugging Baler Under Power".

2. Engage variable core valve (A).

3. Engage PTO slowly to unplug.

4. If baler does not clear, discharge bale and shut off tractor.

5. With gate open, put gate lock valve in "Lock" position.

6. Lower pickup and unplug manually.

7. Raise pickup to operating height.

8. Reset variable core and bale diameter to setting prior to plugging and continue baling.
