Turn off the tractor and baler, detaching the implement from the tractor power takeoff. Empty the bale chamber of any residual contents.
Locate the metering wheel, usually found between the bale chute and feed auger. This component rotates as the bale is formed within the chamber. Upon contact with the bale contents by means of a projected trip arm, the knotting device is triggered to begin tying off the bale. The knotting cam then resets the trip arm when the bale is tied and ejected.
Release the knotter mechanism manually, rotating the metering wheel so the trip rod is moved to a position closest to the rear of the chamber.
Loosen the bolts for the right and left brackets that hold the knotter assembly in place. Move the brackets in accordance with your desired bale length. Tighten the bolts, while ensuring that the meter wheel shaft is perpendicular to the bale chamber.
Re-engage the knotter trigger if it is out of position.
