6.2.5 Needles Relative to the Baling Ram
To set the needles relative to the baling ram, the drive
PTO shaft for the knotter shaft must first of all be dis-
mounted. The baling ram is turned manually in the wor-
king direction at the flywheel mass until the crank arms
and the piston rods are overlapping each other (i.e. the
baling ram is at the front dead centre).
The knotter gear is then turned until the coloured mar-
king on the knotter shaft crown wheel is aligned with
the upper rear edge of the knotter gearbox. After the
adjustment has been made place the PTO shaft for the
knotter shaft back in position and secure. Check the
settings as described in the following chapter.
Checking the Setting of the Needles Relative to the Baling Ram
To be able to check the setting of the needles relative to
the baling ram, the binding process is initiated. The bal-
ing ram (2) is manually turned in the working direction at
the flywheel mass until the tips (1) of the binding nee-
dles are at the same height as the ram blade. In this
position the needle tip must be covered by the baling
ram, with the dimension
a = 40–70 mm. If this is not the
case the setting must be corrected by altering the
position of the knotter drive PTO shaft.
