Installation of the Star Wheels
The star wheel block has a plug on one side and a wire grommet on the other side. If there is interference or
problems with the star wheel wires on one side of the block, exchange the wire grommet with the plug so the
wire can exit the block on the opposite side. Mount the twine guards using the two inner holes on the star
wheel block.
The star wheels are to be mounted on top of the baler, just behind the knotters and under the walkway on both
sides. The notch and holes for the star wheel are precut
. If the star wheels are cutting the twine the
sensors and notch must be mov
ed out an additional 1/2” (13mm). Use the template in the back of the
manual for hole spacing. Place the spacer plate (001-6707E) over the precut holes.
Attach with 5/16 x 1/2 Allen head bolts and internal star washers from inside the bale chamber. Center the star
wheels over the top of the spacer plate, place the twine diverters on top of the star wheel and attach with 5/16
x 2 1/4 hex bolt and lock washers. For remainder two holes per star wheel attach with 5/16 x 2 1/4" hex bolt,
lock washer, and one
5/16” (8mm) thick flat washers per bolt. Verify that star wheels align with bale chamber
before tightening down all hardware. The twine guard containing the bale rate sensors will be placed on
the right side of the baler. See Step 4 for directions on how to hook-up the star wheel wires.
