Follow the diagram (Figure 4.2) to unroll the start of the film between the rubber roller and an
aluminium roller, then around the other aluminium roller. Open the film cutter with the lever
and place it at the edge of the film. Close the clamp of the film cutter to hold it in place.

WARNING !
Avoid leaving the plastic film rolls in the sun for a long period of time before
using them. Prolonged sun exposure can cause the film to break or
deteriorate during wrapping.
Testing the Plastic Film Stretcher
To check the effectiveness of your system, draw a 10-inch (25 cm) horizontal line on your
plastic film roll with a felt-tip pen. Turn the table about one revolution and stop. Once the line
has passed the aluminium rollers, measure it on the bale. If it has stretched up to a length of
approximately 16.5 inches (41 cm), this means that your film stretcher is working properly. If
the film does not stretch properly, check the gears of the film stretcher, and if the plastic film
roll and the free roller turn freely, clean the aluminium rollers.
Adjusting the Two Support Rollers
These two conically shaped support rollers are made of rigid plastic and are placed on each end
of the table between the feed rollers to hold your bale in place. In the factory, they are placed
48 inches (1.2 m) apart to hold bales of 48 inches (1.2 m) in width. Move them together or
apart as necessary according to the average width of your bales by removing the pins beneath
the table and changing their position. The support rollers can hold bales up to 60 inches (1.5
m) in width (Figure 4.3).
