9.3 Pick-up reel height adjustment
Before working in the field unlock and swing the pickup guide wheels forwards and
lock them carefully again. Use the appropriate hole in the adjusting bar so that the
pick-up is at the optimum working height with the pickup tines being 2 cm above the
ground, see figure 9.3.1. Note: Working with the pickup tines too low will leave the
tines susceptible to breakage and rapid wear!

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 of material. The height of the crop guard plate can be adjusted
to suit the material type and volume, by means of adjusting the chain length, see
figure 9.4.1.
