4. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tanco Autowrap Ltd does not take responsibility for damages that may occur to machine, persons or other equipment, because of the machine NOT being used as described in this
manual, or because of the safety precautions NOT being followed.
Emergency Stop
The Tanco Autowrap 1300 Model Range is equipped with a so-called emergency stop on the wrapping arm. This device stops all functions momentarily, but is per definition not an emer-
gency stop, because it does not shut down the inputs. But it has the same function, so we have decided to call it an emergency stop in this manual.
Safety Equipment
Before using the machine, make sure that all guards and covers are securely fitted. The machine must not be operated if a function does not work as described later in this manual.
Become Familiar with the Operations of the Machine
If you are unsure how to operate the machine properly, either use of or maintenance to your Tanco autowrap, please contact your Tanco autowrap dealer.
Adjustments / Maintenance
Turn off the tractor and discharge the oil pressure before performing any adjustment or maintenance on the machine. Remember that a well maintained machine is a safe machine.
IMPORTANT!
Always make sure nobody is in the hazard area of the wrapping arm when the machine is in-use.
The machine must not be operated by persons who do not know enough about how to safely operate the machine, or by persons under the age of 16 years.
Dangerous Areas
Tanco Autowrap Ltd. has given the safety to the operator the highest priority, but it is still impossible to secure oneself of every danger area on the machine. Therefore we have hilighted
below some of the dangers that can occur when using the 1310 / 13200 Tanco Autowrap Bale Wrapper.
- Impact of the Wrapping Arm
During the wrapping process the arm rotates with a speed of 30-32 revolutions per minute around the bale. On the arm is mounted a Film dispenser unit with a plastic roll. The speed on
this can give a person serious injuries if one enters the working area of the wrapping arm. To reduce this danger we have mounted an emergency stop device on the wrapping arm; this
stops all movement when something comes in the way of it. It is very important that this protection always works and that it should not under any circumstances be disconnected.
- Squeeze Danger Between the Main Frame & Wrapping Arm
As earlier explained, we have a wrapping arm with a Dispenser and a plastic roll. During every revolution the wrapping arm passes the main frame. Here there may occur a squeeze
danger if a person stands to close to the main frame when the wrapping arm passes. The distance between the main frame and the wrapping arm is not large enough to give place for a
person. Between the pre-stretcher and the bottom frame there can also be a squeeze danger.
