Wrapping Arm Speed Setting
Load a bale on to the machine. The wrap arm speed should be factory set to about 27 rpm. It can be adjusted by altering the Fast Arm PWM in the
Technician Menu. Ideally this should be done by an experienced technician. If the tractor hydraulic output is less than the 50lt/min recommended it may be necessary adjust the flow
control valve which divides the flow in the main valve. (see Hydraulic circuit). When the wrapping arm speed is OK, you can set the overlap.
Film Overlapping Setting
Commence a wrap cycle and stop it after a few turns of the wrap by pressing the red button. Check that the plastic coming off the dispenser is meeting the plastic already on the bale in
a position where more than half the film is overlapping the plastic already on the bale. It is always important to check this with the long side of the bale standing up as this traditionally
the side that get least plastic due to the geometric condition with rectangular bales. Approx. 52-53% is the ideal overlap.
The overlap is set in the Technician Setup on the controller. It is important to select the right bale size and check the overlap whenever you start a new bale size. When wrapping rectan-
gular bales the controller varies the indexing speed of the bale, it rotates slowly when the bale is standing tall and faster when the bale sitting low. In the Technician Setup, the fast roller
speed is adjusted by altering the Rolls Fast Speed and similarly the Rolls Slow Speed for slow.
These changes are best left to an experienced technician.
IMPORTANT: If you have less than 50% overlap, what happens is that while most of the bale with have 4 or 6 layers, some narrow strips will have half that. Therefore DAMAGE TO SILAGE!
Tanco do not accept liability for any damage to silage as they cannot supervise the wrapping and storage of your bales. It is the responsibility of the operator of the machine to check
this.
