Vermeer SQ2731 and SQ3347 balers Identify the right and left legs. The left leg has five additional holes drilled in it while the right leg has no additional holes. Locate the small cut out “V” where the tank sump fits in the saddle. This “V” should be to the back of the baler. Using the 3/8” by 1¼” bolts (qty 8), washers, and lock washers bolt the legs to the tank saddle with the pump plate being bolted on the front side as shown below.
Claas 2200 balers Identify the right and left legs. The left leg has five additional holes drilled in it while the right leg has no additional holes. Locate the small cut out “V” where the tank sump fits in the saddle. This “V” should be to the back of the baler. Using the 3/8” by 1¼” bolts (qty 8), washers, and lock washers bolt the legs to the tank saddle with the pump plate being bolted on the front side as shown below.

STEP 4: MOUNTING THE STAR WHEELS ON THE BALER Use the template located in the back of this manual as a guide for cutting a notch and locating the mounting holes for the star wheels. Carefully mark the location of the star wheel holes using the template and a center punch so the star wheels will run true to the direction of the bales, otherwise, the star wheels may work themselves out of the block.
and locate the wheels on the top outside corner angles of the bale chute, one on each side. The star wheel block is located just in front of the horizontal channels holding the twine boxes. Using the template, mark the location of the notch (5/8” wide and 9” long) and the location of the four 5/16”...
location of the notch (5/8” wide and 9” long) and the location of the four 5/16” holes for the star wheel base. After cutting the notch and drilling the hole, insert the 5/16” by 3 ¼”black allen head bolts up through the chute and use nuts to hold the bolts in place. Place the star wheel block over the nuts and install the twine guards using the two inner holes of the star wheel block.
sensor. Replace and tighten the nut on the sensor, and put the star wheel cover back on the block. Next, tighten the dome nut around the strain relief to form a tight seal around the wire. Repeat for other star wheel. Run the wires along the baler frame to the signal conditioner and connect to the 9-pin star wheel sensor plug on the signal conditioner.
