KNOTTERS
When the knotters are tripped to tie the bale, the first
knot to be tied during the double knotter cycle is at the
front (according to machine travel) of the first bale, as
shown in Figure 103. The first knot ties the bale and
as the needles retract downwards, the second knot
is made, which will be at the rear end of the next bale
to be formed.

WARNING
To lubricate or service the baler manually:
Always disengage the tractor PTO drive, stop the
tractor engine, and apply the handbrake.
Remove the tractor ignition key before leaving the
cab to lubricate the baler.
Turn the power off on control instruments in the
tractor affecting the baler operation, to prevent
accidental tripping of any of the stuffer or knotting
mechanisms.
Apply the flywheel brake and engage the knotter
safety lock.
Whenever laying under the baler is needed to carry
out any kind of maintenance, support all axles on both
sides to avoid getting stuck in case a tyre deflates.
