Lower the pick-up reel. Both left-hand and right-hand ‘float spring’ rams should
be adjusted in exactly the same way so that the load is balanced and equal.
NOTE: Adjustment should enable the pick-up to drop completely
This adjustment should enable the pick-up to drop completely, while in
the lowered position. If not, re-adjust by lowering the spring tension, i.e.
move the collar in direction (F).
NOTE: Additional spring force required when operating at heights
If operating at heights other than the fully lowered position, then
additional spring force will be required to obtain adequate float, i.e. move
the collar in direction (R).

WARNING: Ensure 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 unable to follow the ground contours.
