Fault
Knot tying mechanism (twine has snagged on the
knotter hook and is broken.)
Knot tied: one knot end longer than the other or the
longer of the two ends tied into the knot.
Cause / Remedy
1. Readjust the twine brake, clean or replace if
necessary.
2. Readjust the knotter shaft brake.
3. Remove tangled twine.
4. Straighten the pack initiating mechanism.
5. Check the twine bar – readjust.
1. Sharpen or replace blunt or jagged twine blades.
2. Too little tension on the closer – tighten up spring
with hexagonal screw (do not tighten up on block).
3. Too little tension on the twine retainer – tighten the
springs by tightening up the hexagonal screw (do
not tighten up on the block).
4. Worn twine carrier or twine retainer – replace parts.

pressure.
6. For too great a twine tension – loosen the twine
