A - Jam Nut

B - Float Spring Setting Dimension

Dimension (B) is an initial float spring setting for pickup tooth-to-ground clearance of 25—50 mm (1—2 in.) with wheel spindles in the normal position. (See WHEEL SPINDLE POSITIONS in Preparing the Baler section.)

More spring force will be needed if:

  • Operating at pickup tooth-to-ground clearance above 50 mm (2 in.) with wheel 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.)

  1. Loosen jam nut (A).

  2. Tighten screw into spring plug until dimension (B), between spring plug and spring anchor, is attained.
