A.Twine quality
Take
a half of meter twine and start untwisting the twine.

trouble-free knotting from the start
B.Twine tension
Practical adjustment :
-Completely
loosen the twine tensioners.
-Pull
the twine (in the bale chamber or after the tucker arm) towards you.
-Increase
twine tension until the slacker arm comes down and stays down without pulling
twine from the twineboxes.
During the formation of a bale the
slacker arm (and indicator flags) are in the completely down position. If it
raises, increase twine tension

the nut until the billhook tongue just closes. Do not overtighten.
D.Stripper arm
Practical adjustment :
-A
force of 40 to 60 N should be necessary to move the stripper arm flange over
the heel of the bill hook.
-When
adjusted correctly, the notch of the stripper arm will travel beyond the end of
the bill hook with a minimum distance X = 15 mm
-Adjusting
