CAUTION: Twine arms can move unexpectedly when twine arm power is on. Turn off power to twine arms when standing or placing hands near twine arms.

Twine knife has two cutting edges. Be careful when working around the knife. It is sharp.

NOTE: Adding or removing shims located between the twine arm support and crossbeam will affect dimensions at the following locations:

• Twine arm-to-starter roll:

  • Twine arm pointing directly toward rear.

  • Twine arm toward right side of baler.

  • Twine arm toward left side of baler.

• Twine arm-to-cutter link support.

• Twine arm-to-twine arm stop.

Check dimensions at all locations before making any adjustments. Adding or removing shims at one location may change the dimension at another location.

2. Lower pickup so twine arms will not contact pickup teeth.

3. Shut off tractor engine and remove key. Lock the gate.

4. Remove lower drive roll chain so starter roll can be rotated by hand.
