031 Waiting for Strap Guides to be at top position.
Note: The machine has turned on the Strap Guide Arms motor and sent them up. When
the Strap Guide Arms magnet reaches the Bale Position 0 sensor bar switch, the
machine stops the motor. The machine is waiting for the magnet to reach the Bale
Position 0 sensor bar.
The switch is located upper mid way of the sensor bar at the
brown mark.
- Check that Strap Guide Arms are in time with each other. They should be the same
height. If their heights vary ½ inch (12.5 mm) or greater then they are at least one
gear tooth out of time. A quick way to check their heights is to compare the distance
between the Vertical Plunger plates to the Strap Guide plates. The right side should
be the same distance as the left side. In order to prevent the Strap Guide arms from
getting out of time, keep their chains tight.
- Check that hydraulic power is still on to the machine and that return line is still
connected.
- Check that a bale, excess hay or foreign object is not preventing the Strap Guide
Arms from rising.
- Check that the directional valve is not stuck.
