Adjusting Bale Shape Sensor-Field Procedure (Channels 007 and 009)
The best bales will be formed at maximum density with dry hay. Check and adjust the bale density to the highest pressure that will ever be used. It is suggested to set baler at maximum density. (See ADJUSTING BALE DENSITY in Operating the Baler section.)
IMPORTANT:
Calibration should be done with variable core off (if equipped).
When in the calibration mode, neither the automatic wrap cycle or oversize bale warning will function. There is a risk of making an oversize bale without knowing and causing damage to baler. Observe the mechanical size indicator on front of baler and avoid baling near the red zone. It may be necessary to make two bales to adjust both sensors.
NOTE:
Proper windrow formation is important for this adjustment. Windrow width MUST be half or less than half of the bale chamber width OR full width. If it is full width, it must be uniform density.
1.
Begin baling and make a 127-140 cm (50-55 in.) bale in the chamber.
2.
Stop tractor leaving engine running.
3.
Turn monitor-controller off.
4.
Press and hold COUNTER key. Then press ON/OFF key to put monitor-controller in calibration mode.
5.
Continue to hold COUNTER key and press PLUS key until
CH007
appears in the digital display.
6.
Release COUNTER key and begin driving down the windrow to feed crop into the extreme right side of baler. Be sure to crowd the end of the pickup to completely fill the right end of bale. If necessary, allow some hay to be missed off the end of the pickup to ensure maximum end density.
