For starters grease the baler,use only good fresh twine,if the twine gets wet throw it away,make your windrows small because the baler is small,do not try to bale too heavy,do not run the baler faster than 60 plunger strokes per minute and when you are baling go slow at first to see how much hay you can feed into it,you want the hay to feed easy and not bunch up at the front(hope this makes since) also when you first start baling be sure you unscrew the bale tension at the back of baler for the first bale or two then tighten it down evenly at about 10 rounds then bale a couple more and then tighten about 5 rounds bale acouple more and check the bales and then you might have to tighten a couple more rounds etc. just don't get them too HEAVY then tying trouble starts also make sure your hay is dry You can also take 3 or 4 bales and tear them up reall good and feed them into baler with a pitchfork being extra careful not to get in the baler or around the pto shaft and check to see if everything is working good then when the bale comes out the back tear it up and rebale it (the first few bales will be loose until you get the tension set right) when you are through always unscrew the tension cranks at the back about 25 rounds apiece or the hay will be hard to come out the next time you start baling and tying trouble will set in. This is lesson #1 Hope this helps.
