ü A round bale is pressed with chamber film wrapping and set down in the field.
ü The machine is shut down and safeguarded, refer to page25.
Use a marker pen to draw 2 horizontal lines(1) on the film at a distance of X=100mm.
Cut out the section(2) around the 2 lines which you have drawn. Ensure that you cut out all
film layers.
Allow all film layers of the cut-out section(2) to rest for at least 3minutes.
Measure the distanceX between the lines(1) which you have drawn.
Æ If the distanceX is between 86 and 95mm, the pre-tension has been correctly set.

Pre-tension Evaluation
<86 mm >15% The pre-tension is too strong. Reduce the brake force
on the wrapping material brake, refer to page151.
86mm 15% Correct
95mm 5% Correct
>95mm <5% The pre-tension is too weak. Increase the brake force
on the wrapping material brake, refer to page151.
INFORMATION
KRONE recommends 3.5-4 film layers to ensure optimum chamber film wrapping, refer to
page119. The minimum required film layers depend on the condition of the crops.
For round bales with a diameter greater than 130cm and/or very dry or very wet crops,
KRONE recommends using at least one additional film layer.
