Figure 6.6 Pusher trigger
For bales more than 122 cm (4 feet) long, you should adjust the path of the pusher by moving
the stopper (Figure 7.2) forward or backward so that the edge of the bale stops more or less in
the center of the stretchers.
Ground Level
Once these unwrapped bales have been pushed through, use the hydraulic lever to slowly
lower the front of the machine to the ground. You should now place the red lever in wrapping
position (Figure 4.1). (See moving or wrapping label.)
The First Wrapped Bale
After wrapping it in a plastic bag, you are ready to load the first bale of the continuous bale
row. Be careful not to tear the plastic bag while transporting the bale and placing it on the bale
wrapper. The trigger will make the pusher advance. When the pusher has pushed this bale to
the end of its path and the pusher has returned to stopped position, it is time to begin
wrapping the bale in plastic.
1- Open the gate on the right side of the bale wrapper. At this point, the hoop wheel brake is
still activated (see p.22 Install) and the stretcher is at your level.
2- Pull the plastic film and pass it inside to attach it to the bracket (Figure 4.1).
3- Release the hoop wheel brake.
4- Manually engage the hoop release valve (Figure 4.1).
5- Manually and gradually engage the hoop speed control valve to make the hoop perform 2.5
slow turns. Next, close the hoop speed control valve and remove the plastic film from the
bracket.
6- The second stretcher should now be at your level. Repeat steps 2-5 for the second
stretcher.
7- Place the wrapping speed control at position #6, which should give you about 6 layers of
plastic.
8- Close the gate. The machine is ready for wrapping.
*Note: Optimal Adjustment at Hoop Release:
It is necessary to adjust the pointer relative to the rack (Figure 7.1) so that the hoop starts at
the right time. By moving the pointer backward, the hoop will be released more rapidly, and
vice-versa. The hoop should be released when there is a distance of about 5 cm (2 in.)
