Field operation & machine adjustments
From time to time it may become necessary to carry out adjustments to the machine,
whether to improve machine performance or allow for general wear and tear. Such
adjustments are part of the machine design. The following chapter gives details of how
to go through the various adjustments. Some of these are field adjustments while
others will be performed during machine maintenance or initial set-up. All of these
adjustments should be checked thoroughly before the machine goes to work for the
first time. The wrapper should be parallel to the ground when working.
10.1 Drawbar height
The height of the drawbar may be adjusted to allow for use with different tractors. To
change the height go through the following procedure:
1. Remove 3 x M20 nyloc nuts and the 3 x M20 bolts holding hitch on.
2. Move hitch eye up or down to new position.
3. Insert the 3 x M20 bolts and tighten the nyloc nuts to 400 Nm.
Extra adjustment positions may be achieved by flipping the hitch eye assembly upside
down, with the bolts removed.

Always ensure that tractor is stopped, handbrake applied, engine
stopped and ignition key removed before working on machine. Always
maintain machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
