10.3 Pick-up reel height adjustment

10.4 Crop roller adjustment
The function of the crop roller and fingers is to hold down and spread out the baling
material in order to achieve a smooth crop flow into the pick-up unit. The crop roller
height should be adjusted, by engaging the chain links in the keyhole slots, so that the
stops do not rest on the rubber bumpers as shown. Once this initial height is set, it is
then self adjusting depending on crop conditions. Ensure linch pins are used to secure
NOTE: Ensure the spool control lever is in the float position
When baling with this machine ensure that the control lever for the spool
operating the pick-up reel height adjustment is in the float position. If the
lever is not in the float position then the reel will be fixed in a set position
and will be unable to follow the ground contour.
NOTE: Wear and tear of pick-up tines
Working with the pick-up tines set too low will leave them susceptible to
breakage and rapid wear!
