Adjust Twine Arm Distance from Right-Hand Side (Electric) (460M)

  1. Do not operate twine arms with the pickup in raised position or damage to pickup teeth can occur.

    The twine cutter tension must be adjusted first before performing this procedure.

    For 560M balers, the right-hand twine guide controls the twine distance from the right-hand end of the bale. The following adjustment procedure does not apply to these balers.

    Lower the pickup.

  2. Turn the tractor ignition key to the ON position. Do not start the tractor engine.

  3. Turn the monitor-controller ON.

  4. Move the twine arms all the way to the right-hand side of the baler using the monitor-controller EXTEND key.

  5. Turn the monitor-controller OFF. Turn the tractor ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key.

  7. To adjust the distance, loosen the nut (B) enough so the twine arms can be moved by hand, but with some resistance.

  8. Move the twine arms toward the side sheet as far as possible, then move the twine arms to the rear to obtain the specified distance (A).

  9. Tighten nut (B) enough to hold the actuator bolt in position on the twine arm when the twine arm is moved to the home position.

  10. Turn the tractor ignition key to the ON position. Do not start the tractor engine.

  11. Turn the monitor-controller ON.

  12. Move the twine arms to the home position (actuator fully retracted) using the monitor-controller RETRACT key.
