3.5 Installing the plastic film rolls
The wrapper has two plastic film rolls for wrapping the
bale tube. You should always put on two new rolls of
plastic film. They will run out at the same rate, and you
can replace them at the same time.
NOTE: The plastic film can become soft and
sticky if it is left for a long time in the heat
of the sun. You will notice when the film is
being applied that it may break more often
or holes begin to appear in the plastic
when on the wrapped bale. Make sure to
store your rolls of plastic film in a cool
dark place where they are shielded from
the sun.
NOTE: It is easier to load the compression bales
and first wrapped bale on the wrapper
when the plastic film is not yet attached to
the hook. We recommend installing the
plastic rolls without attaching the film,
loading the bales and then attaching your
film to the hook (Figure 16).
Accessing the roll supports
Always turn off the engine before
opening the guard.
To reach the plastic film roll supports:
1. While holding the safety guard so that it does not
fall, pull on the handle of the lock in the upper left
corner of the guard and slide it towards the rear of
the wrapper (Figure 12). The safety guard is now
unlocked.
2. Slightly lower the safety guard and slide it all the
way to the front to access the rolls (Figure 12).

3. If the supports for one of the rolls are not at the
right height, disengage the hoop brake (see
Figure 13) and manually turn the hoop upward to
bring the supports into reach.
NOTE: You can also move the hoop without
completely disengaging the brake. Just
step on the pedal to lower the brake group
and turn the hoop in either direction.
Installing the first roll of plastic film
To install the first roll of film:
1. Step on the hoop brake pedal to activate the
brake (Figure 13). This eliminates the risk of the
hoop turning during installation.
