Two chain transmissions are used in the bale wrapping machine. After wrapping the first 10
bales, the tensioning of the drive chains needs to be adjusted:
remove the chain cover (1),
Loosen the 4 M12 nuts (3),
Turn the M12 screw in the chain tightening mechanism so that the chain has a .79" slack
after tightening,
tighten the 4 M12 screws (2),
Install the chain cover.

Check the tightening and chain condition periodically after wrapping every 120 bales.
8.7. Finishing work
After the work is complete, disconnect the revolution counter, remove the battery and secure
the revolution sensor against humidity . Before storing the wrapping machine for a longer period,
disassemble and place the impulse sensor in a dry storage room. Secure a space free of bystanders,
especially children in the storage area.
Lower the machine onto supports placed on a hard, flat, level ground. Disconnect the hydraulic
power source and the electric power supply. Disconnect the wrapping machine from the tractor’s
three point hitch.
