builds up the starting chamber
•
determines the belt tension
The set-up ensures the most effective build up of the bale pressure
with help of the hydraulic tension cylinder and a spring.

The tension arm can be aligned by adjusting the tension arm hinge at
the right side of the machine.
The tension arm has to be adjusted to ensure the distance between
tension arm and machine wall is identical at either side.
