moving too much.
2. Move the selector valve lever to the wrapping
position (Figure 2).
3. Set the control lever for the wrapper speed to 0
(Figure 2) to prevent the hoop from turning.
4. Press the hydraulic bypass valve (Figure 2) to keep
the pusher from activating when you place the first
bale to be wrapped.
5. Take a bale and cover it completely with a plastic
bag for wrapping. The bottom of the bag will be at
the end of your bale tube and will allow you to seal
the tube tightly.
6. Place the bale on the trigger with the open end of
the bag facing the rear.
Be careful to avoid piercing the bag
when moving the bale and placing it
on the wrapper.
7. Pull on the hydraulic stop to start the pusher
cycle.

8. When the bale reaches the middle of the spears
(Figure 1), start wrapping:
l
Push the hydraulic bypass to stop the pusher.
l
Deactivate the pusher (Figure 22).
l
Pull on the ends of the plastic film and attach them
to the hooks on the immobile part of the hoop (see
Figure 16 to learn how to install the plastic film).
l
Be sure that the manual hoop lever is in the rear
position.
l
Pull on the hydraulic stop knob. Nothing should
move.
l
Using the control lever for the speed of the hoop,
slowly turn the hoop and apply at least two layers
of plastic film.
l
Push the hydraulic bypass.
l
Reactivate the pusher (Figure 22).
l
Set the hoop speed lever to 8.
l
Pull on the hydraulic stop button. The pusher will
complete its cycle and the hoop will automatically
start to wrap.
NOTE: If the adjustment for the return of the
pusher is used with 1.2 m (4 ft.) bales
(see Table 6), the pusher will stop its cycle
when the bale reaches the middle of the
spears.
The first layers of plastic film may be
applied without deactivating the pusher,
by using the manual hoop control.
4.5 Wrapping the bale tube
When the first wrapped bale reaches the end of the pusher
travel and the pusher returns to the stopped position,
begin the automatic bale wrapping process. To do so:
1. Ensure that the wrapper is ready to begin
wrapping:
l
The two rolls of plastic wrap have been
installed (see section 3.5).
l
The selector valve is in the wrapping
position.
l
The manual hoop control lever is in
forward position (automatic operation
mode).
l
The hydraulic stop button and emergency
stop button are out.
l
The pin at the base of the front tailgate
cylinder is in the middle of the elongated
opening to help the tailgate adjust to
irregular terrain.
2. Adjust the wrapping speed by setting the wrap
speed lever to 8 (this will result in approximately
6 layers of plastic). The machine is now ready to
begin wrapping.
3. Place bales on the automatic trigger one by one.
Let the wrapper complete one full push/return
cycle between each bale.
