    Check that belts are not pinched between lower belt guides straps (A) and crossbar (B). Tighten nuts on both sides of crossbar.



  2. To reduce net material slits while baling cornstalk, milo, or sorghum, adjust clearance to 4—5 mm (0.16—0.20 in.).

    Use 3 mm (0.12 in.) and 5 mm (0.20 in.) drill bit as a gauge to check clearance between each strap and crossbar.

    To obtain clearance:

    1. Loosen lock nut (A) and nut (B).

    2. Add or subtract washer (G) and shims (C) on each side as needed.

    3. Tighten nut (B). Then tighten lock nut (A) on both sides.
