General Troubleshooting
PROBLEM Bale pusher has a jerky motion and does not push the bale all
the way.
POSSIBLE CAUSE Not enough hydraulic oil
SOLUTION C heck hydraulic oil level, add more hydraulic oil if
needed.
PROBLEM Bale pusher pushes the bale all the way through the hoop
and engine stops.
POSSIBLE CAUSE The micro-switch located underneath the bale table near the
hoop needs adjustment.
SOLUTION Loosen the micro-switch adjusting screw and adjust the
little arm so it leans as far backward as possible. As
soon as the bale pusher will hit this arm, it will signal it to
stop. Alternatively you can move the whole switch along
its support bar.
PROBLEM The bale pusher returns to the back of the machine and the
engine stops.
POSSIBLE CAUSE The micro-switch located underneath the bale table near the
back of the machine needs adjustment.
SOLUTION Loosen the adjusting screw and adjust the little arm so it
leans more forward. As soon as the bale pusher will hit
this arm, it will signal it to stop. Alternatively, you can
move the whole switch along its support bar.
PROBLEM You do not have enough time to drop your bale on the
machine before the bale pusher starts going forward.
POSSIBLE CAUSE The photocell located on the side of the bale table (same side
as the controls) needs adjusting.
SOLUTION Take the cover off the top of the photocell and adjust the
screw in the top right hand corner. To turn it counter
clockwise will give you more time. Quart of a turn should
be sufficient. Use a small screwdriver and be gentle.
PROBLEM The hoop starts turning too soon or too late.
POSSIBLE CAUSE Mid micro-switch need adjustment.
SOLUTION Move the micro-switch along its support bar to get the
result you need. If you move the switch towards the
back, the hoop will start turning sooner. To move it
forward will give the opposite result.
PROBLEM The electronic automation fails to work
POSSIBLE CAUSE Dead battery
SOLUTION Continue wrapping on the manual mode. Then see about
your battery.
