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 should 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 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 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 may 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. Six seconds after last adjustment, setting will be entered into memory. Be sure 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.
