2. The variable pulley is in two halves,
with one side threaded into the other.
The outer pulley half is secured in
place using an M10 grub screw
fastened onto the flat sides of the
inner pulley.
Using a 5 mm allen key, loosen back
the grub screw 5 turns.
With the grub screw loosened, the
pulley can be threaded inwards or
outwards depending on the net
tension setting required.
3. By referencing to the diagram, the
desired net tension can be achieved
by measuring the distance ‘x’ as
indicated in the diagram.
With the required tension setting
achieved, tighten the grub screw.
Warning! Ensure that the grub
screw is tightened onto the flat
surfaces on the inner pulley and not
on the threads.
4. Insert the net-unit handle provided,
into the slot on the spring-loaded belt
tensioner and pull the handle
forwards, until the hook can be
unlatched. Ease the handle back,
allowing the tensioner to re-tension
the belt. Remove the handle and
place it back into its holster on the net
unit. Swing the hook back down into
its original position.
To tension the outer V-belt loosen
the tension pulley wheel, using a
19 mm spanner and slide the tension
pulley towards the tractor.
The machine is now ready to bale at
the new net tension setting.
