Are you not getting a clean knot? Here are the steps to check your tucker finger and cam.
• This will need to be adjusted if your twine is not making a knot or its hanging onto the bill hook.
• First, take a look at the cam to check the timing mark.
• Bring the twine arm into the knotter and rotate the knotter a full cycle until it comes to a complete stop.
• Loosen the allen screws with a 3/16in allen wrench.
• Move the cam on the shaft collar to the timing mark.
• The timing mark on the cam needs to line up with the seam on the shaft collar.
• Then retighten the allen screws.
• If you’re still having issues with the knots, check your tucker finger.
• First, rotate the knotter so that the cam is in the 12o’clock or straight forward position.
• The tucker finger should be in the upward position.
• Push forward on it to see if there is still room for the tucker finger to take the twine back.
• If there is, then locate the pin on the rocker arm and take the bolts off.
• Take the rocker arm off the bolt and then rotate clockwise. This will tighten the tucker finger distance.
• It is good to have 1/8in to 1/16in clearance.
