Wrapping Bale
Pull the film at the first bale as far as possible from the
feeder and attach it using the string binding the bale.
Smoothly turn on the hydraulic motor of the wrapping
machine. Maintain the engine revolutions at 1500 RPM
while wrapping.
NOTE: Wrap at least four layers of film so that each
of them is overlapped in 50%.
Finish bale wrapping after about 24 revolutions of the
frame while using 500 mm film or 16 revolutions while
using 750 mm film.
NOTE: A properly wrapped bale has four layers of the
wrapping film around it.
Unloading Wrapped Bale
Stop the rotary frame placing the drum axes
perpendicular to the tractor-machine axis with the white
roller in the rear.
Pull the handle to release the locking pin and unlock the
lower frame (to unlock the lower frame, the operator must
use the pin.
Release handle (which is available as a part of the
optional equipment).
By using the three point hitch, lift the wrapping machine
causing the tilting of the lower frame and unload the bale
at the same time tightening the film.
Lower the wrapping machine to its working position and
lock the frame.
Load another bale on the wrapping machine with the film
tightened. Start the wrapping process.
Finishing Bale Wrapping
After the work is complete, disconnect the revolution
counter and secure the revolution sensor against
humidity.
Before operating the equipment:
• Clear the work area of all bystanders, especially
small children and animals.
• Clear the work area of all obstacles.
• Keep shields and all guards in place.
• Keep away from moving parts.
• Verify wrapping machine is properly attached to
the tractor three point hitch.
• Verify wrapping machine is properly lifted by the
tractor three point hitch.
• Check for smooth operation and direction of the
rotary frame and drums movement (the rotary
frame should rotate counterclockwise).
WRAPPING BALES
• Verify wrapping machine is well lubricated and
operating correctly.
• The bales should be wrapped only in positive
temperatures.
• The bales should be wrapped in their storage
area.
• Avoid unnecessary transport of bales, to
minimize damage to wrapping film.
FILM TENSION
If the bale is wrapped too tightly, halt the wrapping
process. Establish the cause of excessive film
tension. Set the proper film tension. Resume the
wrapping process.
Use the bales within 12 months from their wrapping
date.
