Set Mechanical Twine Arm Spacing

E38438-UN-19JUN96

A - 5 cm (2 in) Twine Arm Spacing

B - 10 cm (4 in) Twine Arm Spacing

C - 15 cm (6 in) Twine Arm Spacing

D - 20 cm (8 in) Twine Arm Spacing

E - Spring Pin

When the speed compensation program or the slip clutch alert system, if equipped, are enabled, the monitor-controller maintains consistent twine spacing for various bale diameters regardless of PTO speed. Without these features, mechanical spacing remains consistent, but spacing between the twine arms varies when operating at less than rated PTO speeds.

1. Set distance between the twine arms by installing spring pin (E) in the desired position:

   Hole ID	Twine Arm Spacing
   A	5 cm (2.0 in)
   B	10 cm (4.0 in)
   C	15 cm (6.0 in)
   D	20 cm (8.0 in)

2. When operating at rated PTO speed, the twine spacing setting in the monitor-controller must be the same as the mechanical twine arm spacing.

3. When operating at less than rated PTO speed, set the twine spacing in the monitor-controller to a value less than the mechanical twine arm spacing. This setting can vary with different PTO speeds. Check the twine spacing on a bale and adjust the setting as necessary to get the desired twine spacing.

   Engine rpm	Mechanical Setting	Monitor-Controller Setting
   Rated Speed	10 cm (4.0 in)	10 cm (4.0 in)
   1800 rpm	10 cm (4.0 in)	9 cm (3.5 in)
   1500 rpm	10 cm (4.0 in)	8 cm (3.0 in)
   1300 rpm	10 cm (4.0 in)	6 cm (2.5 in)

3. Six seconds after the last adjustment, the setting is entered into memory.

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