A - STOP Indicator

B - NET WRAP Indicator

If the net does not feed properly or if the knife does not cut the net, the STOP (A) and NET WRAP (B) indicators display and the alarm sounds.

• If the net does not feed properly, Code 401 displays on monitor.
• If the knife does not cut the net, Code 402 displays on monitor.

To correct net feeding or knife problems, perform the following:

• Check for net material torn or looped by the steel roll and contacting the counterknife. (See Check for Looped Net Material in this section.)
• Check brake roller timing. (See Check and Adjust Net Wrap Feed Roll Brake in this section.)
• Check that gap between the front panel and rubber feed roll is to specification. Gap must be 3—6 mm (0.12—0.24 in). (See Check Front Sheet to Rubber Roll Clearance in this section.)
• Check for cuts or nicks on the rubber feed roll that can make net material stick to rubber roll. (See Repair Cuts on Rubber Feed Roll in this section.)
• Check for long or uneven tails of net material after cut-off. (See Adjust Net Wrap Counterknife and Sharpen Net Wrap Knife in this section.)
• Remove and clean brush. Dirt fills brush and prevents clean cuts. (See Install and Adjust Net Wrap Brush in this section.)
• Check that net pan is touching both outside belts and at least two of the four center belts. (See Check and Adjust Net Pan Pressure in this section.)
• Check if one or both crop deflector's are sticking out between the outside belts and side sheet of baler. (See Check for Bent Crop Deflectors in this section.)
• Check that counterknife is raising high enough to let net flow. (See Check and Adjust Net Wrap V-belt Idler Tension in this section.)
• Check for contact between idler bolt head and bolt head after making net pan adjustment. (See your John Deere dealer or qualified service provider.)
• Check for pin wear in the oval slot (below the steel roll) in the net wrap side sheets. (See Check Pin Wear in the Surface Wrap Side Panel in this section.)
