5.5 Loading the twine
DANGER!
All protective shields must always be closed before starting the machine, and must be reopened only
after stopping the machine, turning off the tractor engine, engaging the parking brake, and removing
the ignition key. There is danger of death or serious injury.
1 Insert the spools of the right type of twine in the twine box (see Table 6.2). Make sure that the
spools are placed correctly in the container, so that the twine unwinds counterclockwise when you
pull the central end (the spool has the TOP position indicated; follow this indication). This will
prevent the twine from getting tangled while unwinding. Arrange the spools and join the ends
carefully following what is shown in Fig. 5.8
2 Thread the twine as shown in Fig. 5.8. To adjust the twine tension, see section 7.4.6
3 Tie the ends of the twine to the lower crossbar of the bale chamber. (Fig. 5.8).
4 Fully raise the lever 1 which can be seen in Fig. 5.10 by turning the toothed wheel 2 in Fig. 5.10 to
engage the knotter.
5 Rotate the flywheel anticlockwise so as to set the needle/knotter system in motion until the twine
is held in the twine holder disc (sect.7.4.1, Fig. 7.12) of the knotter. Then continue the rotation of
the flywheel until the needles are in the rest position (the needle holder arm must be in the rest
position with the needles retracted)
6 Remove the two pieces of twine that are still tied to the crossbar.
