Set Mechanical Twine Arm Spacing:

The monitor-controller maintains twine spacing for various bale diameters at rated PTO speed.

1. Set distance between the twine arms by installing spring pin (E) in the desired position:

Hole ID Twine Arm Spacing
A 5 cm (2.0 in.)
B 10 cm (4.0 in.)
C 15 cm (6.0 in.)
D 20 cm (8.0 in.)

 

2. When operating at rated PTO speed, the monitor-controller twine spacing setting should be the same as the mechanical twine arm spacing.

3. When operating less than rated PTO speed, set monitor-controller twine spacing setting less than mechanical twine arm spacing. This number will vary with different PTO speeds. Check twine spacing on bale and adjust monitor-controller setting to get desired twine spacing.

Set Monitor-Controller Twine Spacing:

1. Turn tractor key to ON position. Do not start tractor engine. Turn monitor-controller ON.

2. Press TWINE SPACING key (G). Press PLUS or MINUS keys until desired twine spacing, 2-26 cm (1.0-10.0 in.), appears in digital display.

Use the following chart as a guideline. Monitor-controller settings may vary with crop conditions and between balers.

Engine rpm Mechanical Setting Monitor-Controller Setting
Rated Speed 10 cm (4.0 in.) 10 cm (4.0 in.)
1800 rpm 10 cm (4.0 in.) 9 cm (3.5 in.)
1500 rpm 10 cm (4.0 in.) 8 cm (3.0 in.)
1300 rpm 10 cm (4.0 in.) 6 cm (2.5 in.)

 

NOTE: Slip clutch alert applies desired number of twine wraps regardless of PTO speed.

3. Six seconds after last adjustment, setting will be entered into memory. Be sure monitor-controller twine spacing setting and mechanical twine arm spacing setting agree with each other.

4. Turn monitor-controller OFF. Turn tractor key to OFF position. Remove key.
