6.4 Roll Timing
For proper conditioning, the rolls must be properly timed
with each steel bar on one roll centered between two bars
of the other roll as shown. The factory setting should be
suitable for most crop conditions.
IMPORTANT
Roll timing is critical when the roll gap is
decreased because the bars may contact each
other if the timing is wrong.
