9.) Let the boards hang down or prop them up against a bale or by backing a truck, tractor or
skidloader to act as a back stop to hold them securely for the fi rst three loads. This is to com-
pensate for the bag coming off the top later. Check that the apron is just loose enough to let
off one fold at a time. Also check for tearing at the bottom. If this occurs loosen the bungee
cord and tape the tear.
10.) Read directions and information sheet in the bag box completely. Measure for proper
stretching of the bag. The ROTO-PRESS does have the ability to over stretch and burst the bag.
WARNING! DO NOT STAND UNDERNEATH THE CONVEYOR
WHILE IT IS BEING LET DOWN.
11.) Let the conveyor down. This is done by raising the conveyor up and pulling down on the
safety, if so equipped. Lower down to just off the ground, or to the desired height. Make sure
the conveyor never comes in contact with the ground. Flip the hopper end chute over into
its operating position. Hook up the tractor hydraulics, and check the belt rotation to make
sure the belt is moving in the right direction. If available, adjust the tractor hydraulic fl ow to
as slow as possible, and then adjust the ROTO-PRESS fl ow control to the desired speed. This
will decrease the amount of heat created by pushing the excess oil over the bypass of the fl ow
control.
12.) The ROTO-PRESS conveyor is equipped with a safety stop bar located across the width of
the conveyor, and is easily accessible from either side. Pulling the safety bar down will instant-
ly shut the conveyor off . Pushing it up will resume operation. Always check the operation of
the safety stop bar before beginning to fi ll the bag.
13.) Auger units need to be mounted at this time using a loader and a chain to raise the au-
ger up.
