Installing 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 wheels are pre-cut.
Place the spacer plate (001-6707E) over the pre-cut
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 remaining two holes of each star wheel attach with 5/16” x 2-
1/4" hex bolt, lock wash
er, and one 5/16” thick flat washer per bolt. Verify the star wheels align with bale
chamber before tightening all hardware. (
The twine guard with the two additional holes should be placed
on the right side of the baler looking from the rear)
