8_OPERATION IN THE FIELD
8.1_SWITCHING ON
After you have set up the machine as described in the chapter
“7_Instructions for use”
, switch on the “FF
Control” control system in order to start work.
Before starting work check that the arms of the tying devices (twine binder/net wrapper) are in the rest position
and that the respective cutting devices are unloaded.
Take a position on the swathe; open the pick-up stop valve (
"OPEN"
position) and lower it.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the tailgate is closed, visually checking that the
pointer of the pressure gauge is between the yellow sector and the
green sector indicating a pressure between 80
130bar
Check the height of the front conveying rake against the bands of the pick-up, to meet your working needs, as
indicated in the paragraph
“7.6.5_Rake“
.
The pressure can be increased for dry products and decreased for damp
products.
To do this turn the knob
“P”
on the pressure gauge
ONLY IF THE
PRESSURE GAUGE IS NOT UNDER PRESSURE
, and set the desired
pressure which will be indicated by the reference mark
“R”
.
max. pressure 190bar
IMPORTANT! NEVER EXCEED A PRESSURE OF 190 bar!
If the bale pressing pressure rises above this value the machine
will be damaged!
You can now engage the PTO and begin collection.
Work with the PTO rotating at no more than 540 rpm.
8.2_FEED SPEED
The feed speed depends on the type of product to be baled and the ground contours.
Try to feed the chamber evenly across its width so
that the bale is compact and formed well throughout.
In narrow light swathes drive in a zig-zag path in
order to load the chamber evenly.
Avoid swerving from side to side too frequently as
this could cause the formation of a barrel-shaped
bale and make tying and transport difficult.
