   E55312-UN-28JUN07

   A - Strap

   B - Crossbar

   C - Clearance

   Check that belts are not pinched between the lower belt guide straps (A) and crossbar (B). Tighten nuts on both sides of crossbar.

---




2. If clearance (C) is too close, slitting of net material can occur.

   To reduce net material slits while baling milo, sorghum, or cornstalks, adjust the clearance to 4—5 mm (0.16—0.20 in).

   To check the clearance between the straps and the crossbar, use a 3 mm (0.12 in) and a 5 mm (0.20 in) drill bit as gauges.

   Check the clearance (C) between the end of all belt guide straps and the bottom crossbar. Clearance must be within specifications.

   If clearance is not within specification, adjust as follows:

   1. Prevent damage to the baler. If not supported, the net wrap guide swings back when the lock nuts are removed. DO NOT let the guide swing back freely.

      Remove lock nuts (A).

   2. Swing the net wrap guide away from the gate roll.

   3. Remove nuts (B) while keeping carriage bolts (E) in place.

   4. Add or remove washer (G) and shims (C) on each side as needed.

   5. Install nuts (B) on carriage bolts (E) and tighten.

   6. Swing the guide assembly forward and align the bolts with the holes in the frame. Install lock nuts and tighten.

   7. Recheck clearance on both sides and repeat adjustment as necessary.

4. Always check clearance between all belt guide straps and bottom crossbar before checking clearance between guide washer and lower net wrap guide.
