Strap guide arm chains
Check after first 8 hours of operation.
Continue to check after each additional 8
hours of operation, until the chains stay tight.
Procedure:
The best time to tighten the strap
guide arm chain is when the strap guide arms
are in bale position one. This will give you a
bale count of 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, or bale 19.
Check the spacing between the chains by
taking the slack out with your hand. Correct
spacing = 1 inch – 2 inches (25.4mm –
50.8mm). If the spacing is not correct then
loosen the locking (upper) nut. Tighten the
tightening (lower) nut and check the spacing
between the chains, until you reach the
correct dimension. After
adjusted properly retighten the locking (upper) nut. Repeat procedure for other strap guide arm.
