    Install chamfered spacer (A) (chamfer toward roll), hardened washers (B), and bearing (with UP stamp toward top of baler) on shaft, snug four flange nuts (C), and pull roll firmly to left-hand side of baler.



  8. Center roll side-to-side:

    • Center roll side-to-side.
    • Measure from outer rubber strip to sidesheet on both sides to check roll centering.
    • The difference between the two dimensions must be 6 mm (0.24 in.) or less.

  12. Tap right-hand side of roll to remove all end play to left-hand side of baler.

  13. Hold lower roll shaft to left-hand side and push lower drive roll sprocket and washers inward.

  14. Using a straight edge, check alignment between gear case output shaft outer sprocket and lower drive sprocket. Add or remove machined and hardened washers between bearing and sprocket on lower drive roll shaft, as needed.

  15. Add or remove regular washers between bearing and sprocket on starter roll shaft, as needed, to align starter roll sprocket with lower drive roll sprocket.

  16. IMPORTANT: To avoid hex knock and cap screw (C) from loosening, keep hardened washers (A) centered about shaft. Make sure hardened washers (A) are not clamped between end of shaft and thick washer (B).

    Install hardened washers (D) between sprocket and end of shaft so washers extend 3—6 mm (0.12—0.24 in.) past end of shaft.

  17. Install cap screw (C) with thick washer (B). Tighten cap screw (C) to specification.

    Install three flange mounting cap screws (A) and nuts (B). Only tighten cap screws enough to get a light contact between cast flange and mounting strap. Some rotation (a light tap) of the cast flange around the outer race can be required to align flange correctly at all three locations. Do not tighten cap screws at this time.

    If necessary, loosen cap screws (A) and flange nuts (B) to insert shims (C) between bearing mounting flange and the cast bearing flange to center rolls in holes in sidesheet.



  25. Only retighten cap screws enough to get a light contact between cast flange and mounting strap. Some rotation (a light tap) of the cast flange around the outer race can be required to align flange correctly at all three locations. Do not tighten cap screws at this time.

  26. NOTE: Rolls must rotate freely. Check roll clearance through hole in sidesheet.

    If roll is equipped with wiper pins, it is permissible to grind drive roll wiper pins to 3 mm (0.12 in.) minimum height.

    Spin upper drive roll to verify clearance with sidesheet hole according to specifications. Add or remove shims (C) or move right-hand bearing plate, or grind drive roll wiper pins, if equipped.
