Breaking-in the BalerAfter baler has been attached to the tractor, inspect it to be sure all bolts are tight and all chains have proper tension. NOTE: On twine balers, grease has been applied at the factory to knotter area. Some misses in tying may occur on the first few bales due to this grease. Do not attempt to make adjustment until all knotter parts have had time to become thoroughly polished by the twine. Drive gears must be lubricated prior to "break-in" period to ensure that any casting irregularities will become worn smooth. Apply a liberal coating of multipurpose grease to each tooth on all gears shown. This must be done before the 1 hour empty running "break-in" procedure described below. Give new baler an empty running "break-in" period of at least 1 hour to allow parts to work in gradually. After 5 minutes at slow idling speed, stop machine and inspect for loose bolts, hot bearings, binding parts, chain tension, etc.
Run baler at slow idling speed for 30 minutes, and increase to full speed for the rest of the period. Inspect baler frequently during "break-in" period. Never trip baler at full rpm without twine in twine disk holder. |

CAUTION:
Disengage all power, shut off engine, and wait until all moving parts have stopped before inspecting baler.
