Installation of Star Wheel Moisture Sensors
– 600BB
1. Locate the two star wheel moisture sensors (030-4641) and twine
diverters (001-4644 & 001-4645).
2. Directly behind the knotters, locate the four predrilled holes per side
shown at the arrows. This location is also beneath the lift points on
top of the baler (Figure 1).
3. Install the eight (four per side)
5/16” X 3” Allen head cap screws.
Make sure the Allen heads are in the bale chamber. Secure using
5/16” hex nuts (Figure 2).
4. Install the star wheels below the lift points on the baler.
5. Install the twine diverters over the star wheel sensor. The twine diverter with two extra holes will be
installed on the right star wheel when looking from the rear of the baler toward the tractor.
6. Secure the star wheels and twine diverters with four M8 hex nuts, lock washers, and two flat washers
(Figure 2).
Installation Bale Rate Harness
– 600BB
The bale rate sensors will be factory installed on the right side twine guard in the correct position. The sensor
with the longer sensor wire will
say “FRONT” which indicates it should be placed in the front sensor hole. The
sensor wire with the shorter wire will
say “BACK.”
The tip of the sensor should be placed no more than 1/4
” (7mm) away from the star wheel teeth and no less
than 1/8” (3mm) from the star wheel teeth. Each sensor will have an LED light located on the sensor by the
diverter. Once the unit is powered up spin the wheel and make sure that both led lights turn on and off. If they
don’t turn on and off, adjustments may need to be made.
Once the star wheel connection is complete, run the harness along the left side baler frame to the Dual
Channel Processor (DCP). The Dual Channel Processor is located next to the flywheel brake.
