Refer to Specification section for proper length of belts. 1. Open gate fully. Lock gate. 2. Using tractor hydraulics, lower tension arm to tighten belts.

3. Engage PTO and rotate belts until splice appears between bottom gate roll and tension arm roll. 4. Raise tension arm to loosen belts. If optional auxiliary takeup roll is installed, unlock gate and lower gate slowly until belts are slack. Lock gate. 5. Shut off tractor engine and remove key.

6. Remove splicing pin. Hook trimmed end of new belt to square end of old belt with splicing pin. Pull new belt through baler using the old belt. Thread belts so when viewed in the direction of travel (see illustration), the square cornered end of belt leads the end with trimmed corners. 7. Fasten belt ends together with new pin. Make sure belt sides are correctly aligned when installing pins. Do not deform ends of lacing pins during installation. Laces are slightly offset to allow alignment of belt ends. 8. Repeat Steps 2-7 for other belts. 9. Unlock and close gate.
