BALE TIE OFF/BALE EJECT FOR V-4830 & V-6030
When the arrow decal on the platen dwells in direct line with the notice decal arrow on
the feed gate, it is time to tie off the bale and eject the bale from the baler. See page
1-4 for control panel layout and location. See the following page for a diagram of the fol-
lowing steps.
FOR BALE TIE OFF & BALE EJECT (V-4830 & V-6030):
1.
Insert a large, flat piece of material across the top of the bale.
2.
Close feed gate and depress the MANUAL DOWN button. The platen
will dwell in the down position and the arrows on the platen and feed
gate will be in direct line. Release the MANUAL DOWN button.

CAUTION: Wear safety glasses and leather gloves during the follow-
ing operation:
Tie off bale by inserting bale ties through the platen,
“loop end” first.
Always insert bale ties through the tie slots in the
platen, first.
Feed wire through until it comes out of the slot in the
back of baler. Go to the rear of the baler and feed the looped end of
the bale ties down and through the aligned tie slots in the floor.
Finally, go to the front of the baler and tie each of the ties. Bale ties
should be tightened only hand tight, allowing for bale expansion
when platen is released.

the baler. Depress and hold the MANUAL UP button until the bale
ejects.

position, and the feed gate raises. Bale sequence is ready to be
repeated.
NOTE: You can close the feed gate at this time if added security is required. To
open the gate you will have to run the baler through a complete AUTOCYCLE.
