McHale F5500 Baler

9.4 Crop guard adjustment
The function of the crop guard plate is to hold down the baling material in order to
achieve an even flow. The height of the crop guard can be adjusted to suit the material
type and volume, by means of adjusting the chain length.
9.5 Crop roller adjustment
The function of the crop roller and fingers is to hold down and spread out the baling
material in order to achieve a smooth crop flow into the pick-up unit. The crop roller
height should be adjusted, by engaging the chain links in the keyhole slots, so that the
stops do not rest on the rubber bumpers as shown. Once this initial height is set, it is
then self adjusting depending on crop conditions. Ensure linch pins are used to secure
chain links together. Once adjusted, the crop roller should run along the top of the
swath. In lighter conditions it should be adjusted as low as possible, but still ensure that
the stops do not rest on the rubber bumpers.
