Installation of Star Wheels
(continued)
Claas Balers
Use the picture below as a guide for drilling the mounting holes
for the star wheels. The star wheels are to be mounted on the
side of the bale chamber, between the top and middle channel.
Measu
re 10” back from the hinge between the top and middle
channel. Cut 1” x 9” (25mm x 23cm) slot for the star wheel.
Make sure the wheel is square.
Mark the location of the two
5/16” (8mm) holes for the star
wheel base. After drilling the holes, insert the
5/16” x 3 1/4”
allen head bolts through the chute and use nuts to hold the
bolts in place. Place the star wheel block over the nuts and
install the prox sensor holder (001-4644H) on the star wheel
located on the right side of the baler. Note: Thicker side of
block goes to baler side.

Use the pictures above a guide to mounting the star wheels. Locate the two star wheel moisture sensors (030-
4641) and twine diverters (001-4644 & 001-4645). Directly behind the knotters, locate the four predrilled holes
per side shown at the arrows. This location is also beneath the lift points on top of the baler.
Install the
eight (four per side) 5/16” x 3” Allen head cap screws. Make sure the
Allen heads are in the bale cham
ber. Secure using eight 5/16” hex nuts (right).
Install the star wheels below the lift points on the baler. Install the twine diverters
over the star wheel sensor. The twine diverter with two extra sensors will be
installed on the right star wheel.
Secur
e the star wheels and twine diverters with four 5/16” hex nuts, lock washers,
and two flat washers.
