3. The method of adjustment can be either Type A or Type B, which are shown
below.
(a) Type A: Loosen the collar by slacking off the bolts, then tap the collar in
the direction (R) if increased float is required, or in direction (F) if less float
is required. Remember to fully tighten the bolts on the collar when
adjustment is complete.
(b) Type B: Loosen the collar by moving the circlip to another groove. The
ram body on type B has a series of grooves allowing the circlip and collar
to be moved at 10 mm intervals of adjustment. Tap the collar in the
direction (R) if increased float is required, or in direction (F) if less float is
required. Ensure circlip is positioned fully in the nearest groove to
complete adjustment. For normal ground conditions, the circlip should be
positioned on the 7th groove.
4. Lower the pick-up reel. Both left-hand and right-hand ‘float spring’ rams should
be adjusted in exactly the same way so that the load is balanced and equal.

NOTE: Adjustment should enable the pick-up to drop completely
This adjustment should enable the pick-up to drop completely, while in
the lowered position. If not, re-adjust by lowering the spring tension, i.e.
move the collar in direction (F).
NOTE: Additional spring force required when operating at heights
If operating at heights other than the fully lowered position, then
additional spring force will be required to obtain adequate float, i.e. move
the collar in direction (R).
NOTE: Ensure spool control lever is in the ‘float’ position
When baling with this machine, ensure that the control lever for the spool
operating the pick-up reel height adjustment is in the ‘float’ position. If the
lever is not in the ‘float’ position, then the reel will be fixed in a set position
and unable to follow the ground contours.
