14.) To set the brakes on the ROTO-PRESS, remove the keeper pin on top of the brake assembly.
Take the brake handle\wrench and insert into the tube and then pull down. Tension is adjusted by
using brake\wrench handle on center portion of turnbuckle and turning, or (older units) turning
the nut located on the threaded portion of the connecting rod.
ATTENTION! DO NOT SET THE BRAKES ON THE ROTO-PRESS SO TIGHT THAT IT CAUSES THE BAG TO
SLIDE ON THE GROUND, THIS WILL TEAR THE BAG! SET THE BRAKES ON THE BAGGER LIGHTLY FOR
THE FIRST THREE LOADS!
Adjust the ROTO-PRESS brakes as necessary after the fi rst three loads.
15.) Start the tractor and place it in neutral,
but not in park!.
This is very important!
Run at PTO
speed. Lock in the hydraulic lever to run the conveyor.
BAG FILLING
1.) The bag fi lls in direct relationship to the machine fi lling it. Watch the bag and the folds
as they come off of the cone,
as they must come off evenly.
If either the top or bottom gets
ahead, then pull off whatever is necessary to straighten them out, or it will only continue to get
worse. The unfolding bag must be regularly checked, because with certain conditions such as
temperature, bag apron position, or improper bungee cord tension the bag may come off two
or more folds at a time. If the bag is regularly checked this will not be a problem as the extra fold
can be retucked into place.
If not regularly watched, the whole bag could come off the end
of the bagger.
2.) Start fi lling. As the bag is fi lling, pull the bag toward the rear to avoid wrinkles on the
ground. It may be necessary to adjust the position of the bag pan and bungee cord, after some of
the bag has come off .
3.) An overfl ow door placed just behind the conveyor tells you if you need to slow the conveyor
down. On the front side of the conveyor is a fl ow control to regulate the speed of the conveyor.
On roller mill units, adjust the slide control on the top so that the corn is getting to the entire
roller. It should be mounded up just a little to make this happen.
On auger units, do not overfi ll the hopper. If it is full at the tube opening, that is good enough.
