Continuous cycle
The Continuous Cycle, when enabled, allows the wrapping machine to complete the
wrapping cycle without waiting for the operator to press Table Tip (Button 8) to start the
tipping part of the cycle. Every time the electronic control box is switched on, it asks the
operator to press Enter (Button 3) to confirm that the Continuous Cycle is required.
If Continuous is set to On then press button 7 during wrapping to prevent automatic
tipping of individual bales.
To turn the continuous cycle On/Off:

Auto load setup
The Auto load feature, when enabled in the operator menu allows for automatic loading
of the bale. There are two modes for Auto load: ‘Semi’ or ‘On’.
If set to ‘Semi’ then the operator must use the AUTO START button to control
the automatically loading sequences.
If set to ‘On’ then automatic loading is controlled using the paddle sensor on
the load-arm. (The AUTO START button can also be used if necessary).
The load arm has three positions: ‘Lower’, ‘Float’ and ‘Carry’. After loading a bale the
load-arm will sit at the float position. If the ‘Float Position’ is set to higher than the lower
position then upon approaching the bale, AUTO START (Button 14) is pressed, the
load-arm drops to the preset lower position and the machine is moved forward to
receive the bale.
If ‘Auto load’ is set to ‘Semi’ then AUTO START is pressed again; the load-arm lifts the
bale onto the wrapping table, the arm lowers to the float position and wrapping starts.
If ‘Auto load’ is set to ‘On’ then when the bale hits the auto-load paddle (if fitted) the
load-arm lifts the bale onto the wrapping table, the arm lowers to the ‘Float Position’
and the wrapping starts.
If there is a bale already on the wrapper then a second bale can be carried on the load-
arm.
If ‘Auto Load’ is set to ‘Semi’ then AUTO START is pressed again to lift the second bale
into the carry position.
CAUTION: Do not use the continuous cycle on hilly terrain
The continuous cycle should not be used in hilly terrain as the operator
needs better control of bale unloading i.e. the bale should be unloaded
on level ground.
