Working with the counter in counting mode
Setting the wrap number
Lightly press and hold the ON button. The display will blink and display the last
programmed setting (16 or 24 wraps). Release the button. The indication stops blinking.
Press the button again (hold for not longer than 3 seconds) to change the number of wraps.
Holding the button longer with the set number of wraps until the display shows ‘0’ will result in
recording of the set number of wraps by the counter.
The programmed number of wraps is remembered the counter until it is reprogrammed or
until the battery is removed from the device. Turning off the counter will not change the
programmed number of wraps.
Battery replacement
Use a new battery for every field work season. Replace the battery for a new one when the
previous one is depleted.
When the battery becomes depleted, the numbers on the counter will fade, the contrast will be
low, etc.
Remove the battery box cover to replace the batteries. Remove the battery and disconnect the
power supply cable. Connect the new battery, paying attention to the polarity of the power supply
(the lock on the battery will only fit in one position), place the battery in the battery box and close
the lid. Check the operation of the counter by turning it on. Use a standard 6F22 9V battery or
a 6LR61 alkaline battery.

Wrapping
Warning: Before commencing work, check:
whether the wrapping machine is properly attached to the tractor‘s three point hitch,
whether the wrapping machine is properly lifted by the tractor‘s three point hitch,
smoothness and direction of the rotary frame and drums movement - the rotary frame should
rotate counterclockwise.
The bales should be wrapped only in positive temperatures.
The bales should be wrapped in their storage area. By avoiding unnecessary transport of
bales, the risk of the wrapping film being damaged is minimized. Conduct the service and
maintenance following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Pay particular attention to the initial
tensioning of the film (65-80%) Mark two vertical lines on the film roll in a distance of about 4'
from each other. The distance between the lines of 7' after tensioning represent 70% initial film
tension. The width of the film measured at the end of the bale may not be lower than 1' 4" when
using 1' 8" film and not lower than 1' 12" when using 2' 6" film. A worn or unlubricated tensioning
mechanism may cause the film to be wrapped too tightly. The film tensioning level must not exceed
70%.
