McHale V Series Baler
108
9.18 Adjusting belt alignment
Assuming crop is fed evenly into the bale chamber, generating consistent good profile
bales, the belt(s) should run smoothly and remain in line. All machines are checked
during production, to ensure the belt(s) are properly aligned and tracking correctly.
However, once the machine has been bedded in (50 - 150 bales), and periodically
thereafter, if the belt(s) are touching off the side walls (or each other), then adjustment
may be necessary.
Different machines may have either 1 (wide) or 3 (narrow) belt(s), depending on the
available options at the time of purchase.
WARNING: Ensure safety first!
Before approaching the machine, make sure that the tractor is shut
down, with the hand brake applied and the ignition key removed.
1. Before carrying out the following procedure,
make sure that the bale chamber is empty
and that all rollers and belt(s) are free of any
loose debris or crop. To do this, open the
chamber door then shut down the tractor and
remove the ignition key.
Using the lever valve (A), lock the chamber
door in position, by pulling it towards you and
then rotating it 90° to the left vertical position,
as shown.
Inspect all chamber rollers and cleaning
augers to ensure they are clean and there is
no crop obstructing the belt(s).
Next, open the chamber door lock (A) and
then restart the tractor and close the chamber
door.
