Check PTO and Lower Drive Roll Speed (Channels 016 and 017)

IMPORTANT: The following procedure is not used on a 459 and 559 Baler with a Regular pickup.

Use speed readouts to verify operation and adjustment of sensors. Access channel 016 on monitor-controller for PTO speed and channel 017 for pickup drive speed.

  1. E57907
    E57907-UN-24AUG09

    A - COUNTER Key

    B - PLUS Key

    Start tractor and operate engine at slow idle. Engage PTO.


  2. Press and hold COUNTER key (A) while turning monitor-controller ON.

  3. Continue to hold COUNTER key (A) and press PLUS key (B) until CH016 appears in digital display.

  4. Release COUNTER key (A) and PTO speed is displayed. Speed readout must be stable and not vary by ± 5 rpm.

  5. Press and hold COUNTER key (A) and press PLUS key (B) until CH017 appears in digital display.

  6. Release COUNTER key (A) and pickup drive speed is displayed. Speed must be stable and not vary by ± 5 rpm.

    PTO Sensor (540 rpm) Shown

    E69395
    E69395-UN-08FEB13

    Lower Drive Roll (Pickup) Shown

    A - Clutch Fins

    B - Tone Wheel

    If speed variation exceeds ± 5 rpm, shut off tractor engine and remove key.

    Adjust PTO sensor closer to clutch fins (A) but not closer than 1 mm (0.04 in.). Adjust pickup sensor closer to tone wheel (B) but not closer than 3 mm (0.12 in.).

    When tractor is operated at rated PTO speed, channel 016 must display 540 rpm. Channel 017 must display approximately 310 rpm. Slip clutch alert system must be activated within the monitor-controller for proper operation.

    Turning PTO Speed Sensor ON and OFF:

    • PTO speed sensor can be turned OFF or ON by accessing channel 204.
    • Feature can be turned ON by changing value to 540 rpm.
    • Entire slip clutch alert feature can be turned OFF by changing value to 0.

    Turning Pickup Speed Sensor ON and OFF:

    • Pickup rpm sensor can be turned OFF and ON by accessing channel 205.
    • Feature can be turned ON by changing value to 310 rpm.
    • Pickup rpm sensor can be turned OFF by changing value to 0.
    • Turning OFF the pickup sensor on channel 205 and turning ON PTO sensor on channel 204 still allows automatic speed compensation during wrapping cycle.
