Part of the New Holland Repair Manuals.
This factory manual (OEM #604.66.011.00) runs to 216 pages and covers the full 1992-1999 baler lineup: D1010, D1210, 4860, 4880, 590, and 595, plus every CC and S variant. Factory specifications spell out each model configuration, backed by hydraulic schematics for the bale density circuit and complete wiring diagrams for the electronic Bale Command density control. Exploded views break down every major assembly. Troubleshooting digs into baler operating faults and density control diagnostics, with warning symbol and alarm descriptions plus the automatic lubrication circuit. Set the needle carriage supports to 20 daNm, dial overlap timing to 0 mm (up to 60 mm of delay is allowed on silage), and check the shuttle feeder springs at 280 mm buckle-to-buckle. When the knotters misfire and bale density wanders, this is the factory answer, not a forum guess. Bookmarked by section, so it opens fast on a tablet at the machine.
