NOTE: Both bale shape bars will read low when baler is empty.

GATE CLOSED (D) must be ON. This indicates gate is latched and ready to bale.

Bars (E) indicate bale shape. Bale shape bars in GREEN zone indicate tight belts and bale shape bars in RED zone indicate slack belts. For best bale shape, bars will be in the GREEN zone on both sides.

NOTE: Bars will read low while variable core valve is activated, until bale diameter grows larger than variable core diameter setting on monitor.

Digital display (F) will show bale diameter increasing in 1 cm (0.50 in.) increments within display range of 57—191 cm (22.5—75 in.).

NEAR FULL indicator (G) flashes and beeps twice when bale reaches a diameter 11 cm (4-1/2 in.) smaller than bale diameter setting. (Gives a chance to fill bale ends properly—bars in GREEN zone.)

WRAPPING STARTED indicator (H) (Twine or Net) will light, beep, and start wrapping automatically when bale reaches diameter setting. Stop travel and maintain engine speed at rated PTO during wrap and ejection cycle. When wrapping with twine, observe twine arm pointer and twine pulleys on the baler for proper operation. When wrapping is completed and actuator returns to home position, EJECT indicator (I) will light and stay on until gate is opened.

When wrapping with net, net application and cut-off will be completed and indicated by the EJECT indicator (I) displaying and staying on until the gate is opened.

When wrapping with B-Wrap, application and cut off of material will be completed and indicated automatically. Operator must disengage PTO when indicated by monitor to orient bale correctly during ejection. (See Monitor Display for B-Wrap Baling in this section for more information.)

Confirm twine has been cut by observing twine pulleys. Back up (if not equipped with push bar). Eject bale using hydraulic control lever. GATE OPEN indicator (J) lights during normal ejection. GATE OPEN indicator will go out and GATE CLOSED indicator will come on indicating normal operations can continue.

A wrap and gate latch open cycle adds one bale to both the total and resettable bale counters. Resettable counter is automatically displayed for 8 seconds when a bale is added.

If equipped with variable core solenoid valve; Depress optional VARIABLE CORE key (C) if soft core is desired. variable core indicator will light when optional variable core feature is selected. Solenoid valve must be installed for indicator to light.
