  2. Unplug the pickup using the following procedure corresponding to the pickup model being used:

    1. MegaWide™ HC2 Pickup. Lower the tractor engine speed and bump the PTO on and off to slowly compress and feed the crop through. If the crop does not feed through, lower the drop floor and knives (if engaged) and bump the PTO on and off to work the plug through.

    Raise and lower the pickup a couple of times by moving the tractor selector valve.

  4. If the baler does not clear, shut off the PTO and the tractor. (See Unplug Baler Under Power in this section.)

  5. If the baler clears, return the pickup to operating height and continue baling.
