   Remove the splicing pin. Hook the trimmed end of the new belt to the square end of the old belt with the splicing pin. Pull the new belt through the baler using the old belt.

   Thread the belts so that when viewed in the direction of travel (see illustration), the square cornered end of the belt leads the end with trimmed corners.
