1. Turn the flywheel by hand, counterclockwise, until the main arm (A) is at the height of the alignment arrow (B) on the side sheet. Main arm also should line up evenly in comparison to the center line (C).

2. Place the outer holes of the timing tool (J) on the cap screw (I) and nut (G). The tool maintains a distance (H) of 346.5 mm (13.64 in).

3. Engage flywheel brake.

4. L1533 baler uses only one set of chains.

   L1524 and L1534 baler uses two sets of chains and a duplex sprocket. Only chain closest to main drive gear case is removed.

   Remove duplex chain (K).

5. Disengage flywheel brake.

6. Turn the flywheel by hand clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust.

7. Adjust until the center of the bearing of the front plunger roller (D) is in the middle of the slotted hole (E) of the timing plate (F).

8. Some angle displacement between sprockets is allowed as long as center of the bearing of the front plunger roller remains within the slotted hole (E).

   When the sprocket alignment is set, make only slight movements using the flywheel to align sprocket teeth. If both duplex chains (K) were removed, install the feeder fork gear case chain first, then the main gear case chain last.

9. Check lifting mechanism. (See Check and Adjust Hook Lifting Mechanism in this section.)

10. Return the timing tool plate (J) to the front of the left-hand side twine box for next use or place in the machine tool box.
