6. Finally close the net cutter bar, followed by the net brake bar (A) of the net
container, as shown in Images 1 & 2. The loose net end should not be more
than 10cm inside the bale chamber to prevent it being pulled in by the rotating
bale. When finished the net should look like Image 6.
7. After the roll of net is replaced, the tractor & electronic control box is powered
back up, PTO engaged & the “net” button is pushed, the net feeds into the
chamber, netting the bale and the knife trips; the operator then checks that
netting is complete & advances the cycle by pushing the “chamber door open”
button for one second, work can then continue as normal.

6.5 Net cutter setting
In an automatic cycle, the netter starts feeding net once the set bale density has been
reached and the cutter is tripped; the bale is then wrapped with the predetermined net
length. The net length can be adjusted at the net cutter drive on the left hand side, see
Figure 6.e. It is recommended that a minimum of two (2) layers of net are applied to the
bale. Dry conditions and very high densities require up to four (4) or more layers to
ensure a good bale shape.
NOTE: Hay or straw with a high dry matter needs more net
When the control box is set to “Bale Only”, for hay or straw being baled
with high dry matter, more net must be applied.
WARNING: Adjusting the net adjustment lever
Never adjust the net adjustment lever while the baler PTO shaft is
engaged and the tractor is running. Never climb onto the baler platform
while the pick-up reel is still spinning! Beware of sharp knife edges.
