Checking Belt Tracking

1. Remove any wrappage or buildup on rollers.

2. Determine if gate closes evenly by moving tractor selector valve to float with the tractor shut off. If both sides contact at the bottom, proceed. If there is a gap on one side when the other side is contacting, see your John Deere dealer for proper procedure to straighten the gate.

IMPORTANT: Make sure gate latches are adjusted correctly and latched. If not, belts will not track correctly when bale is being formed.

3. Adjust gate latches if necessary. (See ADJUSTING GATE LATCH STOP in this section.)

4. 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: Lock gate with hydraulic valve and raise tension arm with tractor selector control valve to release belt tension before adjusting rollers.

5. Shut off tractor engine and adjust rolls, if necessary. (See ADJUSTING BELT TRACKING in this section.)
