IMPORTANT: Do not thread more than 25 mm (1 in.) of loop between the two rolls or it may cause material to wrap around the rolls.

IMPORTANT: Avoid knife contact with rubber roll. Any knife cuts in rubber roll covering may result in more frequent wrapping around rolls and may require roll replacement.

NOTE: If net wrap is not being pulled off front face of roll, net roll has been installed backwards. (Refer to Step 1 for correct installation.)

8. Gather the loose ends of net wrap together. Twist material (B) and make a loop. Thread the loop between rolls. Reengaging the brake lever (A) will turn rubber roll and start net wrap between two rolls. Engage and disengage brake lever about three times to advance net through feed roll.
