The most frequent knotter faults have trivial causes
and you can correct them yourself in many cases.
The errors can often be found in the twine quality,
twine guiding, twine tension, positions of the binding
needles or twine bar.
The following fault diagrams are intended to identify
the cause of the fault.
Too loose a knot with two cleanly cut ends.
Cause / Remedy
1. Cable connection, 3-pole plug to tractor
defective.
1. Twine broken, twine tensioner in contact with the
angular rail.
2. Twine used up. Thread new twine.
1. Stop the tractor immediately.
2. The cam-type cut-out clutch in the flywheel disc
locks into place at low speeds.
3. Reduce the baling pressure.
4. Check the tractor PTO shaft speed.
5. Pull the needles out of the bale channel, replace
the shear bolt in the knotter and needle drive if
necessary.
1. Tighten up the knotter shaft brake more firmly.
1. Increase the baling pressure.
1. Reduce the baling pressure.
1. Ratchet clutch is slipping - reduce engine speed.
2. Stop the tractor and the machine and clear
blockage.
3. Reduce forward driving speed.
1. Ratchet clutch in the drive PTO shaft disengages -
switch off the PTO shaft drive and clear blockage.
2. Reduce forward driving speed.
3. Drive centrally over the swath.
1. Verstopfung im Bereich des Rotors, Nockenschalt-
kupplung im Antriebsstrang des Rotors setzt über.
2. Motrodrehzahl verringern. Kupplung rastet bei
geringer Drehzahl wieder ein.
3. Falls sich der Rotor nicht alleine freisetzt, Traktor
und Maschine stillsetzen und Verstopfung beseiti-
gen.
4. Fahrgeschwindigkeit verringern.
1. Shear bolt in the knotter drive has sheared off -
eliminate the cause - replace the shear bolt.
1. Shear bolt in the needle drive connecting rod has
sheared off - eliminate the cause - replace the
shear bolt.
1. Tighten the spring on the knotter hook or replace.
