6.4 Cleaning
Front traction sprockets
After every day of wrapping, remove any hay stuck in the
traction shafts or gears. This will prevent unnecessary
strain on the hydraulic engines.
Engine
Remove any flammable material near the engine. Regularly
dust the air filter at the front of the engine.
Rollers
Always keep the stretcher rollers and rubber roller clean
and free of hay or debris. This will prevent these parts or
the gears from jamming, breaking, or tearing the plastic
film.
If the rollers are clean but are not turning freely, lubricate
the moving parts with an all-purpose antifriction lubricant
(e.g. Prolab PL-100).
6.5 Changing the hydraulic oil
The hydraulic oil must be changed after every 15,000
bales.
l
Oil type to use: ISO 32
l
Oil quantity: 40 L (10 US gal.)
6.6 Replacing the hydraulic oil filter
Replace the oil filter after every 15,000 bales.
NOTE: The filter is located at the
hydraulic oil tank inlet.
6.7 Checking the wheels and tires
For safe operation, it is recommended that you check the
tire pressure every year. See Table 4 for the recommended
pressure for each type of tire.
Frequently check that the bolts on the four wheel rims on
your wrapper are tight. Tighten them as needed.
6.8 Checking the stretchers
Generally, the stretchers do not require any maintenance.
If they are not working correctly, check the rollers (see
Cleaning ). It is also recommended that you check the
stretchiness of the plastic annually.
Stretcher test
To test the stretchers:
1. Using a marker, draw two horizontal lines 25 cm
(10 in.) apart on the plastic film roll.
Figure 39 — Stretchers
2. Wrap a bale normally by making two revolutions of
the hoop.
3. Measure the distance between the lines on the
bale. If the distance is between 38 cm (15 in.) +/-
1 cm (0.5 in.), the stretcher is working properly. If
the distance is not within this range, clean the
rollers.
4. Repeat the same test for the other stretcher.
6.9 Advanced adjustments
This section describes the adjustments that may be
necessary when troubleshooting the wrapper.
Adjusting the hoop activation lever
This adjustment is necessary if the hoop does not start
when the automatic system is engaged.
