A - STOP Indicator

B - NET WRAP Indicator

If the net material does not feed properly or if the knife does not cut the net, the STOP (A) and NET WRAP (B) indicators are displayed on the monitor and the alarm sounds.

• If the net does not feed properly, Code 401 is displayed on the monitor.
• If the knife does not cut the net, Code 402 is displayed on the monitor.

Avoid injury from entanglement in moving rolls. Disengage tractor PTO, shut off tractor, and disconnect monitor-controller power plug before servicing.

To correct net feeding or knife problems, perform the following:

• Check for net material looped away from the steel roll and contacting the counterknife. (See Check for Looped Net Material in this section.)
• Check the brake roller torque. (See Check and Adjust Net Wrap Feed Roll Brake in this section.)
• Check that the gap between the front panel and the rubber feed roll is to specification. Gap must be 3—6 mm (0.12—0.24 in). (See Check Front Sheet to Rubber Roll Clearance in this section.)
• Check for cuts or nicks on the rubber feed roll that can make net material stick to the rubber roll. (See Repair Cuts on Rubber Feed Roll in this section.)
• Check for long or uneven tails of net material after cut-off. (See Adjust Net Wrap Counterknife and Sharpen Net Wrap Knife in this section.)
• Remove and clean the brush. Dirt fills the brush and prevents clean cuts. (See Install and Adjust Net Wrap Brush in this section.)
• Check that the net pan is touching both outside belts and at least two of the four center belts. (See Check and Adjust Net Pan Pressure in this section.)
• Check that the counterknife is raising high enough to let the net flow. (See Check and Adjust Net Wrap V-Belt Idler Tension in this section.)
• Check for contact between idler bolt head and bolt head after making net wrap pan adjustment. (See your John Deere dealer or qualified service provider.)
• Check for pin wear in the oval slot below the steel roll in the net wrap side sheets. (See Check Hole Wear in Surface Wrap Side Panel in this section.)
