9.11 Net brake adjustment
The net brake is designed to prevent net run-on and is applied immediately after the
net knife trips. If problems exist with net run-on, or if net is being drawn into the
chamber while baling, then it is likely that the brake needs adjusting.
After every 1,500 to 2,000 bales, a quick check should be carried out as follows:
Firstly tension must be removed from the inner belt.
CAUTION: Take care when removing and fitting belts
Always exercise care when removing and fitting belts onto pulley
wheels. Use extreme caution when dealing with spring-loaded
tensioners and hooks.
NOTE: Frequency of belt replacement
The variable pulley V-belt needs to be replaced every year or after
10,000 bales.
WARNING: Ensure safety before working on brake adjustment
Before attempting to carry out brake adjustment, ensure that the tractor
engine has been switched off, the key removed and the brakes applied.
WARNING: Wear proper safety equipment & follow all instructions
Always wear protective clothing and gloves, beware of sharp edges!
Caution must always be taken when making adjustments in this area as
the netter knife is extremely sharp!
A. Net knife reset: The brake should be
off in this position. Disc moves freely.
With the net knife in the re-set position as
shown, it should be possible to rotate the
brake disc freely, without the brake
causing any noticeable drag.
B. Net knife tripped: The brake should be
on in this position. Disc is locked.
With the net knife in the tripped position as
shown, it should not be possible to rotate
the brake disc, without exerting a lot of
force.
