A - Lock Nut

B - Dimension

Dimension (B) is an initial float spring setting for pickup tooth-to-ground clearance of 25—50 mm (1—2 in) with wheel spindles in the normal position. (See Wheel Spindle Positions in Preparing the Baler section.)

More spring force is needed if:

  • Operating at pickup tooth-to-ground clearance above 50 mm (2 in) with spindles in the normal position.

Less spring force is needed if:

  • The pickup does not lower to desired operating height.
  • The pickup bounces too much and leaves crop.

  1. Loosen lock nut (A).

  2. Tighten screw into spring plug until dimension (B), between spring plug casting and anchor, is attained. Dimension (B) is intended for pickup tooth ground clearance of 25—50 mm (1—2 in) with wheel spindles in normal position.
