    Make a bale and tie or wrap.



  2. Before ejecting the bale, note the monitor-controller display for bale size or diameter setting.

  3. Eject the bale and compare actual size of bale to the monitor-controller bale diameter setting.

  4. NOTE: To check actual bale size, measure bale horizontally and vertically on both ends. Add the four measurements together and divide by four to determine average bale diameter.

    Determine the actual bale size difference from the monitor-controller setting.

    For example, if the bale diameter setting is 152 cm (60 in.), but the actual bale measures 160 cm (63 in.), the bale is 8 cm (3 in.) larger than the monitor bale diameter setting.

    A - Bale Diameter Sensor

    If bale diameter setting and actual bale size do not agree, make the following adjustment:

    • Lock gate in closed position.
    • Using tractor selector valve, raise belt tension arm until monitor-controller display reads from 127—152 cm (50—60 in.). Note the displayed size.
    • CAUTION: Adjusting bale diameter sensor can cause the twine arms or net wrap actuator to cycle if set size is exceeded during the adjustment. Stay clear of these areas.

      Adjust bale diameter sensor (A) on the tension arm so monitor-controller displays actual bale diameter.

    For example, if monitor-controller display reads 60 and the actual bale is 8 cm (3 in.) larger than the displayed diameter, adjust sensor until 63 is displayed on monitor.

    • Lower belt tension arm.
    • Unlock gate.



  6. Repeat Steps 1—5 as necessary.
