9. Rotor Cleaning:
The string or twine from the bales does get tangled around the rotor as the bales
are processed. Check every few bales to make sure there is nothing entangled in
the rotor and remove and clean as required. Twine can prevent the flails
from swinging and affect function or rotor balance. Access the rotor through the
side access door on the side opposite to the discharge opening. Always stop the
engine and remove the ignition key before cleaning the rotor.

side across the rotating flails. It is designed to tilt the bale to one side
until it is just ready to roll and then it tilts to the other side.
The best results are obtained when a full cycle takes 10 to 12 seconds to complete.
Use the flow dividers on the tractor and on the front of the Bale Processor to set
the speed of the cradle. Refer to the Maintenance section for the detailed setting
procedure.
