Before Each Use of the Baler

Check the belts:

NOTE: Belts are designed specifically for this machine and are tested to withstand a normal usage of the baler.

Due to the different environments, the belts may have been damaged by foreign bodies. This damage generally does not generate any functional or reliability issues. However, if the damage is located in the bale shape sensor path, contact your John Deere dealer to prevent any additional damage to the belt.

Adjust the baler:

1. Adjust pickup height. (See ADJUST PICKUP Height in this section.)

2. Adjust pickup float spring. (See ADJUST PICKUP FLOAT SPRING in Service-Baler section.)

3. Adjust pickup gauge wheels. (See ADJUST PICKUP GAUGE WHEELS in this section.)

4. Adjust windrow compressor roll height. (See ADJUST ROLLER BAFFLE HEIGHT in Service-Baler section.)

Set monitor-controller functions:

1. Adjust bale diameter. (See ADJUST BALE DIAMETER in this section.)

2. Adjust soft core diameter and density. (See ADJUST VARIABLE CORE DIAMETER in this section.)

3. Adjust bale density. (See ADJUST BALE DENSITY in this section.)
