Setting the twine brake

For “single knotter” version
The twine brakes (1) can be found in the twine boxes. The twine brakes (1) hold the lower
twines from the twine box to the lower twine brakes taut.
The drawing tension of the twine brake should only be set so high that the lower twines are taut
but still can be pulled easily.
Different types of twine may have different friction properties. Therefore, the drawing tension of
the twine strand must be checked when changing the type of twine.
