- Wrapping
The Squeeze Arm must be in the full out position for wrapping to commence. Make sure that the bale is
sitting correctly on the table before starting wrapping. Pressing (R6) starts the automatic wrapping cycle.
Adjusting the Overlap
The 1400 is fitted as standard with the 2 x 2 x 50% film overlap system when using 2 rolls of 750 film.
This is achieved by means of the gear ratio of the drive, ensure that the correct number of film layers are
applied to the bale after a specific number of revolutions of the wrap arm. The number of turns required
to wrap a bale depends on bale size .
To calculate the number of turns required:
Count the number of turns to just cover the bale, add 1 to this. This applies two layers, multiply by 2 for 4
layers, 3 for 6 layers and so on.
The table below give an indication of the number of wraps to achieve the desired number of
layers on different size bales.
Best practice suggests a minimum of 6 layers and more on high dry matter and stemmy material.

150cm 20 wraps 30 wraps
