high density bale. The brake force should be set when net/film is pulled during the automatic net/film
sequence. The brake force is shown on the brake pressure gauge. The valve for the brake pressure is adjus-
ted consecutively until the appropriate brake force is reached. Start the adjustment with a low brake
force, and increase it. If the brake force is too high, this might damage or even rupture the net or film.

3.6.3 Settings
Feed speed: Adjusting the feed speed is done by turning the B1 valve. Clockwise decreases the speed. Coun-
terclockwise increases the speed.
Default setting: Close the valve and then open 3/4 turn.
Brake force: In order to maintain tension, the film roller is slowed down when being laid on the bale. Adjust-
ing this brake force is done by turning the B2 valve. Clockwise increases the brake force. Counterclockwise
decreases the brake force.
Default setting: Increase the pressure and notice the pressure on the manometer when the film breaks.
Then slightly decrease the pressure.
NOTE: When starting the machine cold, the brake pressure might be higher. Therefore, set the pressure by
cold oil or readjust when the oil temperature has increased.
Brake release valve: The brake is controlled electrically from the display unit or from the remote control
on the platform. See section 6.1.6 "Manual controls" and section 3.6.4 "Remote control"
