provided on the Baler

to

shield the Pivoting

Knife.

BE

SURE

that

this Guard

is

in place

and

HITCHJACK

(Fig.

A Crank-adjusted Hitchjack is furnished

on

the RBI450

Haler

to

support

the Baler when the

tractor

is disconnect-

ed

and

to

align the Baler

Tongue

Hitch Clips for

hook-

up. A Locking Pin

is

provided with the

Jack

to

secure the

Jack

in either the

"supporting"

or

tions.

When

locked in the position illustrated, the

Jack

is

in the

"supporting"

position.

ADJUSTMENTS

A CAUTION: BEFORE proceeding

to

perform

any adjustments

on

this unit, exercise the

MANDATORY SAFETY

SHUTDOWN

PRO-

CEDURE (Page 8).

AXLE

HEIGHT

(Fig. 7-1)

The Baler Axle height can be adjusted to two different

levels by rotating the Spindle Assemblies. The factory set

height illustrated, is

appropriate

for most normal field

conditions.

By

rotating the Spindle Assemblies

180

0, the

Baler

can

be raised approximately 3-3/4" (95 mm). This

setting may be useful when baling in soft

ground

conditions,

to

help

to

achieve the

proper

Pickup height

adjustment.

BALE STARTER (Figs. 7-2 & 7-3)

The Bale

Starter

device

is

a set

of

Fingers

that

are located

between the

Upper

Belts

and

behind the Packing Roller.

They deflect material

and

keep it from coming

out

over

the

top

of

and

wrapping on the

Packing

Roller, when

starting a bale.

The

Fingers are

part

of

a movable

assembly which

is

held by Pivoting Links

and

positioned

by

an

Adjustable Roller. Springs on each side of the

movable assembly return the assembly

to

a starting

position

after

each bale

is

ejected.

The

Adjustable Roller

rides

on

the

Upper

Belts

and

is

positioned by the bale.

Position

of

the Adjustable Roller will determine

how

long the Fingers will remain in the Bale

Chamber

area.

The lower

the

Roller position, the quicker the Fingers

will be retracted from the Bale

Chamber

area.

For

correct

positioning

of

the Roller, the Fingers should be adjusted

to move upward out

of

the way

just

after

the bale core has

started

to

roll.

With the above in mind, the following

can

be said

about

the Adjustable Roller in the Bale Starter:

1.

The Adjustable Roller

is

factory set in the second

lowest position. This

is

a good setting

for

most con-

ditions.

The

Rolltir position should only be changed

if difficulty in starting a bale

is

being experienced.

2.

If

material

is

coming forward

and

wrapping

on

the

Packing Roller

and

causing plugging, raise the Ad-

justable Roller

to

keep the Fingers in longer.

3.

For

a

dry

brittle material, such as

com

stalks, the

Roller should be set in the lowest position.

NOTE:

Before starting

to

form each new bale,

look back at the Baler to make sure that the Bale

Starter Springs have returned the Starter to

its

start-

ing position. It

is

possible that material which

is

wedged

in

the Links and worn Pivot Bushings or

bent linkages can cause the Starter

to

hang up.

HYDRAULIC

CONNECTIONS-(Figs.10-5&1'O-6)

The Hoses (ending in 1/2" Male Pipe connections) and

the Hydraulic Gate Cylinders (to which the Hoses. are

connected) are provided on the Baler as

standard

equip-

ment. a One-way In-line Restrictor

is

incorporated into

the Gate Cylinder Hydraulic circuit

to

restrict the flow

of

oil when

the

Gate Cylinders

are

retracted

to

close the

Gate.

AWARNING:

DO

NOT

remove the One-way

In.,line Restrictor.

BE

SURE also that the Hy-

. draulic circuit

is

properly reconnected, if

ever one or both Gate Cylinders are removed for

service.

If the Twine Wrapping mechanism

is

being operated

bya

Hydraulic Cylinder, another set

of

Hoses will be

required.

NOTE: When using a Hydraulic Cylinder

to

control the Twine Wrapping Mechanism, the tractor

MUST

already have two independent hydraulic out-

puts or otherwise be equipped with a Dual Hydrau-

lics

Kit;

refer to Optional Features & Accessories

chapter

of

this manual.

Hoses should be routed and anchored in the front

of

the

Baler with the Clamps provided.

BE

SURE

to

provide an

extra length

of

Hose between the Pedestal

Support

and

'the tractor to prevent stretching the Hoses while turning.

NOTE: Quick-disconnect couplings for the

tractor connection ends of the Hoses are to be pur-

chased locally.

NOTE: The RB1450

is

delivered already prim-

ed

with Type F Automatic Transmission Fluid. This

should

be

changed if incompatible with tractor hy-

draulic fluid.

BE

CAREFUL when handling the

Hoses and fitting to insure that they are kept free

of

dirt and contamination

to

avoid damage to the Baler

and/or tractor hydraulic system.

TWINE

ROUTING

(Figs. 10-6 & 10-7)

A piece

of

Wire

is

supplied in the Baler Twinebox

for

threading the Twine

through

the section

of

Protective

Tubing

and

through the Twine Tube itself. After making

the

appropriate

Twine

routing

in the Twinebox,

draw

the

Twine

out

through the Twine Brake.

Then, take the Wire

and

pass it

through

the section

of

Protective Tubing. Make a

hook

on the end

of

the Wire

next to the Twinebox

and

attach

the Twine

to

the Wire.

Pull the Wire and Twine

through

the section

of

Protec-

tive Tubing.

Then,

route the Twine

through

the two In-

sulators

as

shown. In the

same

manner, pull the Wire

and

Twine

through

the Twine Tube.

After the Twine

is

through

the Tubes, pull some Twine

out

of

the

Twine Tube

to

make sure

that

it does

NOT

hang-up.

Cut

off any excess Twine, extending beyond the

Twine

Tube

farther

than

8" (203 mm). Place the Wire

back into

storage

in the Twinebox.
