Installation of Moisture Sensing Pads

1. Open rear tail gate of baler and lock in the up position. Refer to baler manual to lock door open.

2. Remove bale shaping discs on each side of chamber by grinding welds. Once removed grind any
remaining welds so sides of bale chamber are smooth.

3. Place plastic isolator (006-4641FX) in the same spot that the shaping disc had been. There should be a
hole in the baler that matches up with the hole in the plastic isolator. If not, use the isolator as a
template and mark the hole. Center punch the hole and drill it to 3/4" (19mm) (Note: before drilling
make sure you are not drilling into sensitive equipment on the outside of the baler). Drill through the
complete square tube. About two inches. Repeat for other side of the baler.

4. Insert plastic bushing (006-4641G) from the outside of baler. Make sure it is flush with the outside of the
baler frame. Go to the inside of the baler and mark amount that protrudes into the chamber. Remove
and cut off excess material. Repeat for other side.

5. Using 4” carriage bolt slide the parts on in following order: metal disc (001-4641HX), plastic isolator
(006-4641FX) and shortened plastic bushing (006-4641G).

6. Insert disc assembly into 3/8” (10mm) hole from inside of bale chamber. Secure to outside of baler by
attaching to the protruding carriage bolt in the following order: small isolator (006-4641), 1/2” D shaped
washer, 1/2” lock washer, 1/2” jam nut. Tighten down and repeat for the other side. Make sure no part
of the bolt or hardware makes contact with the frame of baler-no metal to metal.

7. Route moisture harness (006-4640G3E) from processor down to the carriage bolt on each side. Make
sure it does not come in contact with any moving parts. Secure with cable ties.

8. Attach moisture cable to moisture carriage bolt by placing items in the following order: 1/2” D shaped
washer, Ring terminal of moisture harness (006-4640G3E), second 1/2” D washer, 1/2” lock washer,
1/2” Jam Nut. Tighten down and repeat for other side. Make sure none of the hardware comes in
contact with the frame of the baler.
