A - Jam Nut

B - Float Spring Setting Dimension

More spring force will be needed if:

• Operating at pickup tooth-to-ground clearance above 50 mm (2 in.) with spindles in the normal position.
• The baler has been lowered at the wheel spindles to improve feeding. (See BALE SHORT, DRY, SLICK CROPS in Operating the Baler section.)

Less spring force will be needed if:

• The pickup does not lower to desired operating height.
• The pickup bounces too much and leaves crop.
• The baler has been raised at the wheel spindles to improve feeding. (See BALE CORNSTALKS in Operating the Baler section.)
