5. The oversize bale switch is normally open. When the actuator is moved toward the switch body, the switch clicks and closes if it is working properly.

6. The gate proximity switches must be closed when properly adjusted and the gate is closed. The proximity switches can also be checked by holding a piece of metal within 3 mm (1/8 in) of the switch to simulate a closed gate.

7. The net switch is normally closed.
