The coloured Zebra® pattern helps operators identify the two sides of the roll at a glance. It makes correct roll loading easier and also shows the direction in which the Netwrap should be removed from the finished bale.

The number of bales depends on bale diameter, crop type and the number of wraps applied. Follow the recommendations shown on the roll sleeve and instruction booklet to select the correct setting for Irish grass, silage, hay or straw conditions.

For reliable Netwrap performance, begin with a clean and correctly prepared baler. Remove dirt, rust, sharp edges and dried paint from every surface that contacts the net. Check that the net is threaded correctly and that tension bars, spreader bars and feed rollers are clean, smooth and properly aligned.

Inspect rubber rollers for moisture or residue and use talc or an anti-static spray when loading a new roll. On variable chamber balers, check belt joiners for wear or damage that could snag the net. Finally, make sure the knife and cutting surfaces are clean and sharp. These checks are especially important when a baler returns to work after winter storage in Ireland.
