   Edge-to-edge net wrap is available, but requires spacer plugs in end of roll and adjustments made to net wrap attachment. (See Adjust Net Wrap Stretch in Service—Net Wrap section.)

   A - Net Wrap

   B - Net Wrap Roll

   C - Rubber Roll

   D - Steel Roll

   E - Distance, 1/2 to 1 inch Net Wrap Extension

7. Extend net wrap (A) no more than 1/2—1 in (E) between rubber roll (C) and steel roll (D).

   Maximum length is 1 inch. Any longer can cause net to stick to the rolls.

8. Do not thread more than 25 mm (1 in) of the loop between the two rolls or it can cause material to wrap around the rolls.

   Avoid knife contact with rubber roll. Any knife cuts in the rubber roll covering can result in more frequent wrapping around the rolls and can require roll replacement.

   If net wrap is not being pulled off front face of roll, net roll has been installed backwards. (See Step 1 for correct installation.)
