Check Neutral, Forward and Reverse
Positions
To check Neutral position, move the hydrostatic
drive control lever into Neutral (not park position).
Are both wheels stopped?
To check Forward position, move the hydrostatic
drive control lever slightly forward. Drive the SP
Baler in a straight direction, release the steering
wheel, and see if the baler drifts to either the right
or left side. Are both wheels rotating at the same
speed?
To check Reverse position, move the hydrostatic
drive control lever back to neutral, and then into
reverse. Are both wheels rotating at the same
speed?
If the answer is no to any of the above questions
then do one of the following adjustments.
Fine Adjustment
If SP Baler is veering in either direction, first check
that the tire pressure in both tires are equal.
If veering to the right, the right wheel should be
speed up by making a fine adjustment at the right
wheel pump control lever (see Figure 83). Loosen
jam nut, remove hardware connecting rod end to
control lever and rotate the rod end CCW a half
turn. Reconnect rod end to control lever, tighten
hardware and jam nut. This should push the right
wheel control lever further toward the rear of the
SP Baler causing the right wheel to speed up.
If veering to the left, the left wheel should be
speed up by making a fine adjustment at the left
wheel pump control lever (see Figure 83). Loosen
jam nut, remove hardware connecting rod end to
control lever and rotate the rod end CCW a half
turn. Reconnect rod end to control lever, tighten
hardware and jam nut. This should push the left
wheel control lever forward causing the left wheel
to speed up.
If making fine adjustment did not correct the issue,
repeat above process.

Coarse Adjustment
Typically a coarse adjustment would be required
if there is no further "Fine" adjustment available.
Make coarse adjustments by loosening the forward
and reward jam nuts and moving the cable forward
or back. Re-tighten jam nuts.
