Settings
For the double knotter, the setting of the twine bar
should be made with the second knot. To do this,
continue tying by turning the flywheel. After the first knot
(closing knot) is complete, the needle moves back down
again and the upper needle enters into the channel slot
to its deepest point. Then the twine bars move over the
openings a second time.
If the twine bars grasp the twine now, they must have an
overreach of at least b = 5 - 10 mm (twine must be
securely grasped at least 5 - 10 mm away from the tip of
the twine bar).
The setting is made by loosening the screws (3) and (4)
of the twine bar (1).
The setting of the lateral distance “a” is made on the
control linkage assembly (5) of the twine bar (1). To
adjust, loosen the counter nuts (6) and screw (7) of the
joint bearing (8). Turn the control assembly linkage
until the dimension is set to “a” = 5 -12 mm. If the
twine bar is pressed in the direction of the channel slot,
the dimension “a” must still be maintained. Then
tighten the counter nuts again. The twine bars must be
freely movable in this position.
During assembly, make certain that the crease (5) in
the control linkage is facing up and left.

Checking the Setting of the Twine Bar
(Double Knotter)
• Initiate the tying process (refer to Chapter
“Triggering the Tying Process Manually”)
• Turn the flywheel in the direction of operation until
the arms of the upper needle (8) are raised a little.
• Loosen the screw (9) on the knotter and swing the
knotter up.
• Loosen nut (10) completely so that there is no
tension on the spring (11).
• Rotate the twine bar (12) back and forth manually.
The tip of the twine bar (12) must not collide with the
arms of the upper needle (8). If necessary, move the
twine bar (12) back by loosening screws (3) and (4)
so that the twine bar (12) does not collide with the
arms of the upper needle (8).
If the twine bar (1) has been moved out of
adjustment, dimension “a” must be
checked.
