Bale shape indicator zero
This is used to set the centre position of the bale shape
indicator sensor. Normally, this is only required with a new
machine or when the sensor is replaced. To set the zero
position, make sure the chamber is fully closed with no
crop in the chamber, then select the bale shape indicator
zero setting and press ‘RESET’ (button 1). Press
(button 3) to confirm the reset.
Measurement units
Depending on operator preference, either metric or
imperial units can be selected.
Knife pressure (V6750 only)
This sets the target knife pressure and is adjustable
between 1 and 10 (32.5-55 bar). The default setting is 6
(45 bar). ‘Knife pressure too high’ warning is shown if the
knife pressure exceeds 65 bar.
Additive
This feature is used to activate/de-activate an additive
applicator. When this setting is on, the additive applicator
output is automatically controlled. It automatically turns off
to minimise additive wastage when no crop is feeding in
during netting/twining and also when the chamber is
open. Turning this setting off disables the additive output
for baling crops that do not require additive.
