5.9. Piston Bearing, Rail and Blade Adjustment
First, install the fixed blades (1), and supply 0,5-1mm shim plates (3) under fixed
blades, leaving 1- 1,5 mm space with the bottom rails (2). (Figures 1,2,3)
Before placing the piston inside the baling chamber, park the tractor and bale
machine on a solid ground. Make sure that tractor PTO shaft is free, emergency brake
is applied, tractor is stopped and the ignition key is removed from the tractor. Take the
key with you. Check piston cylinders and rails, clean and dust and crop debris.
Adjustments will be proper when cylinders and rails are clean
After installing the piston into baling chamber, the distance between fixed blades (1)
and piston bottom blades (3) should be in the range of 1,02-1,78mm. Use 0,5-1mm shim
plates (4) under piston bottom blades to adjust the distance. (Figure 4,5)
