Mounting of the Machine
Be careful! There is a danger of being crushed when working implements are mounted and connected. Carry out the mounting procedures slowly and carefully, and use separate
and approved lifting equipment to make the work easier. See section 2 on safety regulations and pay attention to the various safety decals displayed on different parts of the bale
wrapper.
Hinged Tower
Because of the freighting of the machine, AUTO WRAP 1814 is sometimes delivered with the tower hinged down. Raise tower by lifting using the lifting eyes. Fit 10 M16 x 50 bolts but do
not tighten. Fit the dispenser to the wrap arm. Measure the height from the bottom of the dispenser to the chassis. Rotate the arm around ½ a turn and measure again. Raise or lower
the tower until the wrap arm is parallel to the chassis. Tighten up the top links on the back of the tower. Lower the lifting mechanism and check again. If necessary lift again and tighten
top links. Then fit the tower support going to the front of the machine.
Tighten all bolts and lock top links and after several hours’ use, tighten all the bolts once again.
Mounting of Dispensers
The dispensers are mounted using two M12 bolts. The dispenser height should be such
that the plastics is being applied as close to the centre of the bale on the end as possible. Generally we recommend that they
should be fitted in the lowest position possible (where the plastic just passes over the cut and starts).
The height of the bale can then be decided by the width between the rocking rollers.
Mounting of Emergency Stop* Arm
The machine is equipped with emergency stop-arms on each of the wrap arms.
The releasing arm for the emergency stop component must be mounted.
Put the arm into the bracket and mount the hinge bolt.
Replace the washers and tighten the locking nuts. (See fig. 5.1).
The return spring is to be fastened between the eye bolt on the arm and the eye bolt on the bracket.
