Adjusting Twine Guide(s) (If Equipped)

IMPORTANT: Do not use positions (A or B) on twine guide. Pickup teeth will contact twine arms causing damage.

NOTE: The 456/456S Baler is equipped with left-hand twine guide only.

The twine guide(s) control twine wrap distance from end of bale. Twine wrap distance can be adjusted from 76-178 mm (3-7 in.) at 25 mm (1 in.) increments.

If equipped with starter roll scraper, twine wrap distance can be adjusted from 76-152 mm (3-6 in.).

For most baling conditions, adjust twine guide(s) to position (E). This setting will position twine end wraps approximately 127 mm (5 in.) from end of bale.

For dry, slick crops such as straw, coastal Bermuda grass, or flax, increase twine wrap distance to prevent twine from falling off bale.

For crops, such as alfalfa, that fill the bale ends well and produce square shoulders, decrease twine wrap distance to improve bale appearance and reduce bale spoilage.

To adjust guide:

1. Remove spring pin.

2. Move guide as follows:

• Toward baler sidesheet to increase twine end wrap distance
• Away from baler sidesheet to decrease twine end wrap distance

3. Align holes and install spring pin.
