Adjusting Twine Spacing-Electric Double Twine Wrap (If Equipped)

NOTE: Do not vary tractor PTO speed when tying bales. Bale rotation speed must be constant for consistent twine spacing from one bale to the next.

1. Determine the desired twine spacing (A) on bale. There are four settings possible (refer to decal on left-hand side of tongue):

• 50 mm (2 in.)
• 100 mm (4 in.)
• 150 mm (6 in.)
• 200 mm (8 in.)

2. Set distance (A) between tips of twine arms to the desired setting by installing spring pin in the appropriate position.

The existing index mark decal (A) on the baler may be used for 50 mm (2 in.) (456, 456S and 556), and 100 mm (4 in.) (556) twine spacing.

Magnetic index mark decals (B and C) are provided for 100 mm (4 in.) (456 and 456S), 150 mm (6 in.) (456, 456S and 556) and 200 mm (8 in.) (556) twine spacings.

Put appropriate decal on top of existing index mark decal when alternate twine spacing is desired.

456/456S Baler twine spacing:

• Existing decal (A) (nine index marks)-50 mm (2 in.)
• Magnetic decal (B) (six index marks)-100 mm (4 in.)
• Magnetic decal (C) (four index marks)-150 mm (6 in.)

556 Baler twine spacing:

• Existing decal (A) (nine index marks)-50 mm (2 in.) and 100 mm (4 in.)
• Magnetic decal (B) (six index marks)-150 mm (6 in.)
