Set Mechanical Twine Arm Spacing:

The monitor-controller maintains twine spacing for various bale diameters at rated PTO speed.

  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 monitor-controller twine spacing setting must be the same as the mechanical twine arm spacing.

  3. When operating less than rated PTO speed, set monitor-controller twine spacing setting less than mechanical twine arm spacing. This number varies with different PTO speeds. Check twine spacing on bale and adjust the monitor-controller setting to get desired twine spacing.

Set Monitor-Controller Twine Spacing:

  1. Turn tractor key to ON position. Do not start tractor engine. Turn monitor-controller ON.

  2. Press TWINE SPACING key (G). Press PLUS or MINUS keys until the desired twine spacing, 2—26 cm (1.0—10.0 in), appears in digital display.

    Use the following chart as a guideline. Monitor-controller settings can vary with crop conditions and between balers.

    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. Slip clutch alert, if turned on, applies desired number of twine wraps regardless of PTO speed.

    Six seconds after last adjustment, setting is entered into memory. Be sure the monitor-controller twine spacing setting and mechanical twine arm spacing setting agree with each other.

  4. Turn monitor-controller OFF. Turn tractor key to OFF position. Remove key.
