Mini Round Baler SRB-870
Bale Density:
Adjust bale density according to the tractor size, field conditions and type of material baled.
•
To change positions of the Connecting Rod, remove the hairpin clip and move to next hole up or down.
•
The higher the position of the Connecting Rod, the lower the density of bales produced. This setting is for
•
hay or straw that has a high moisture content.
The lower the position of the Connecting Rod, the higher the density of bales produced. This setting is for
•
hay or straw that is dry or has a low moisture content.
If the bale density is not achieved, move the Connecting Rod to the next position (higher or lower), run the
•
machine and check density again. Move only one position at a time until the correct density is achieved.
Caution: Be aware of the electrical cable attached to the Connecting Rod. When changing positions, be
sure not to damage or stretch the cable.
Twine Tension:
There are two places on the machine to adjust twine tension. (See below)
•
There has be sufficient tension on the twine so that it stays on the guides and so that it is cut at the end of
•
the baling operation.
If the tension is too tight it will not properly feed through the guides possibly breaking the twine.
•
Adjust the twine tension before each use for optimal performance.
