Adjusting Bale Density

NOTE: To adjust the bale density, close gate and lower belt tension arm. This will allow the bale density knob to be turned more easily.

Tension valve has been preset at the factory. Operate baler at this setting for a break-in period of approximately 50 bales. This will reduce maintenance and increase the life of the baler.

The correct adjustment for this break-in period may be checked by the following procedure:

Loosen locking ring (B) and turn knob (A) clockwise until seated. Turn knob (A) counterclockwise two turns. Tighten locking ring (B).

After the break-in period, adjust bale density as follows:

1. Loosen locking ring (B).

2. Turn knob (A) as desired:

  • Counterclockwise for lighter bales
  • Clockwise for heavier bales

3. Tighten locking ring (B).
