Check and Adjust Lower Net Wrap Guide (MegaWide™ HC2 Feed System Balers Only)

If clearance is too close, slitting of net material can occur.

  1. Always check the clearance (A) between the ends of all belt guide straps and the bottom crossbar. (See steps 1 and 2 before proceeding to step 3.)

    If 0.5—2.5 mm (0.020—0.100 in) clearance (A) is exceeded, outside belts pass between the belt guide washer (B) and guide (C) and damage belts.

    Check that the belts are not pinched between the lower belt guides straps (A) and the roll or the spirals on the roll. Space the belt guides evenly across the net pan crossbar (B).



  4. To check clearance between each strap and crossbar, use 3 mm (0.12 in) and 5 mm (0.20 in) drill bit as a gauge.

    Check and adjust clearance between the flat part of the belt guide and the belt. Measure from the outer surface of the belt to the flat surface of the belt guide. Measurement must be taken when the spiral on the gate roll is aligned to the belt guide flat. Clearance must be within specifications.

    3. Tighten nut.

    4. Recheck clearance with the spiral aligned with the flat of the belt guide.
