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.

3. 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: If adjusting is necessary, raise gate with tractor selector control valve (SCV) until tension arm rotates, releasing belt tension. Lock gate.

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