The grass-silage/hay-straw door sensor handle is located inside the right-hand side
door panel, close to the door hinge. The bale chamber features a quick adjustment
sensor position plate. This allows for a quick change to lower density bales as required
for hay and straw, without any need to adjust the chamber pre-charge pressure. In
effect, it limits the level to which the chamber pressure will climb above the pre-charge
pressure during baling of hay and straw.

recommend that the bale size should be between 1.25 m and 1.29 m. The bale
size may vary depending on density setting, crop volume intake, chop length, stopping
distance, netter settings, amount of net applied and bale size sensor adjustment.
Should the bale size be greater than 1.29 m, then the bale size sensor will need to be
adjusted away from the sensor handle. (See the following image)

CAUTION: Bale size should never exceed 1.29 m
Bales with a bale size in excess of 1.29 m in diameter may result in
damage to the net on the bale.
NOTE: Minimal adjustment has significant effect
Minimal adjustment of this sensor can have a significant affect on the
size of the bale. This sensor may need to be adjusted a few times in
order to achieve the correct bale size.
