SYNCHRONIZING THE NEEDLES WITH THE PISTON
When the bale is ready to be tied, a mechanism starts the needles, which cross
the pressing chamber, going inside the moving piston channel, taking the tying
cords to the knotmaker. In order for this movement to occur without there being
a collision, the piston and the needles must work in perfect synchronism.
The figure on the side shows the po-
sitioning of the needles in relation to
the piston. When correctly adjusted,
measures
A = 5 to 10 mm.
B = 20 to 25 mm.
SYNCHRONIZING NEEDLES
AND PISTON:
With the power source and the trac-
tor engine disconnected:
1. Turn the support wheel F ma-
nually, until the arm G is moved
forwards, releasing the mecha-
nism of the knotmaker.
B
turn the wheel F in the direction of the
arrow.
