Knotting System Operation
Knotter monitoring flags
In addition to the electronic information supplied by the monitor, knotter
monitoring flags (1) can be observed by the operator during and shortly after
the knotter cycle as follows. During bale formation the monitoring flags should
stay in the DOWN position and raise partially between tying of the first and
second knots. They will then go to the DOWN position while tying the second
knot. Momentarily, after the second knot has been tied and the knot is
stripped off the bill hook, the monitoring flags will generally raise to the UP
position when the slacker arm raises to take up the slack in the twine. The flags
will remain UP until sufficient charges have been formed into the new bale to
remove the slack in the upper twine and pull the monitoring flag to the DOWN
position.
