6) Once the bottom half of the bag has been
secured in this manner, place the upper half over the
bottom half already fitted; punch the plastic sheet
through each stud (Fig. 19), starting from the studs at
the end of the roller and progressing toward the
center. Notice that it is the white outer layer that is
now visible and that there are two sections of plastic:
the initial cut has divided the top part of the bag in two
parts. The left segment must be passed to the left of
the discharge auger and fastened to the studs on that
side of the roller, while the right segment must be
passed to the right of the auger tube and fastened to
the studs on that side (Fig. 20). Once unloading
operation is underway, the initial cut will be continued
by the cutter blade.

IMPORTANT:
There is no need to be overly precise when fastening the bag to the roller. Even though at this stage the plastic may
look crumpled and in disarray, it will stretch and straighten after a few turns of the roller. The basic consideration here
is having the bottom part of the bag (the part hooked to the roller first) hold some slack relative to the upper part
attached last (one or two feet is enough). The latter should be attached shorter so that the roller tugs at it first. The
small margin of slack in the bottom section plus the plastic sheet's elasticity helps form a rounded shape that contains
the grain as the bag is rolled in. The round shape also helps keep adequate clearance between bag and sweep augers
(see “General indications for efficient operation”, page 27).
