Checking and Adjusting Net Pan Pressure without Leaf Spring

1. Remove net pan from baler. (See USING NET WRAP AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE in this section.)

2. Remove leaf spring by removing two cotter pins. Lay net pan flat on a level surface.

3. Measure distance (A) between top of net pan angle (B) and top of both support tubes (C) and (D). Distance (A) should be 52 ± 5 mm (2.0 ± 0.2 in.).

  • If distance (A) is more than 57 mm (2.2 in.), use a dead blow hammer and tap on each net pan channel (E) near front crossbar. Recheck distance (A) and repeat as needed.
  • If distance (A) is less than 47 mm (1.8 in.), place net pan on floor. Step on net pan rear crossbar near center and lift net pan angle (B) to bend channels. Recheck distance (A) and repeat at needed.

4. Straighten net pan angle. (See CHECKING and STRAIGHTENING NET PAN ANGLE in this section.)

5. Install leaf spring and net pan in reverse order as removed. After installing net pan:
