6.3 Care of the net wrapping system
Before operating the baler, ensure that the following procedure is followed to ensure
improved netter operation:
 Clean off rubber and metal feed rollers and check for any tacky material
 Once roller cleaning is carried out, ensure to apply talcum powder to the
rubber feed roll
6.4 Loading & operating the netter system
The passage of net through the netting unit is monitored; if
the net cutting knife does not trip within 20 seconds of the
netter starting, the alarm sounds, the net error symbol is
displayed in the control box display and the cycle is halted.
The following is the procedure for changing a roll or fitting the first roll:
1. Ensure the PTO is disengaged, the tractor is shut-down and ignition key has
been removed.
2. Open the net brake bar (A), hold it in place with latch (B), as shown in Image
1. Remove the empty cardboard core of the finished net roll and dispose of
responsibly.
3. Place the new roll of net in the net container.
4. Open the net cutter bar as shown in Image 2 and pull loose net end of approx.
0.5m from the roll. Feed the net through the net tension bar and over the knife
trip bar as show in Image 3.
5. Roll up the net and rest it across the rollers from left to right or vice versa, as
shown in Images 4 & 5, inserting it between the rubber and the metal feeding
rollers.
NOTE: Cleaning Solvents
Never use cleaning agents such as benzene, petrol, turpentine oil or
similar cleaning solvents to clean rubber feed roll, otherwise damage
may occur!
McHale recommend using either of the following:
 A cloth soaked in dish washing liquid
 Soapy water
WARNING: Lifting full net rolls
Pay attention to the heavy weight of the net roll. It is recommended that
full net rolls should be handled by two people.
