2. To ensure that the monitor-controller is in the net mode, press the NET mode selector switch (A).

3. Press and hold the NET WRAP key (B). Press the PLUS or MINUS key until the desired number of wrap layers (1.5—10.0) appears in the digital display.

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

5. Bales stored with fewer than two layers of net wrap can be damaged by handling or weather conditions

   Add at least one additional layer of net wrap when baling using a precutter.

   When applying net wrap material, different crops require a different number of net wrap layers for effective baling. The following minimum number of layers of net wrap are recommended:

   • 2 layers of net wrap for hay
   • 3 layers of net wrap for straw, wheat hay, and cereal grains
   • 4 layers of net wrap for corn stalks, sudex, hay grazer, and milo stalks
   
   

   If the baler is equipped with the slip clutch alert feature and it is turned on, the system applies the desired number of layers of net wrap, regardless of PTO speed. Thus, no change is needed on the monitor.

   These guidelines apply only if the speed compensation program and slip clutch alert system are turned off.

   If machine rpm is less than rated PTO speed, use the following chart as a guideline for the desired layers of net wrap.
