EMERGENCY STOP*.
5.1
The machine is equipped with a safety guard on the wrapping arm, and its operation must be tested
before work itself is started.
5.2
The safety guard is designed to stop the wrapping arm injuring operators or objects either when
starting up or when wrapping bales.
5.3
The emergency stop* is constructed with a "positive" connection, i.e. it has to be in full order before
the machine can be started.
5.4
It consists of a releaser hoop that activates a small electric switch. (See fig. 5-1).
When the electric circuit is broken, the valve shuts off the oil, and the wrapping arm stops. This is
shown in the display on the control-unit by three points lighting up. (See chapter 7.1.1, paragraph e).
5.5
When this function shall be tested, you start the wrapping arm. Hold out an arm or any obstacle. The
wrapping arm shall now stop before it hits the arm.
5.6
To restart the machine the obstacle must be removed and the safety guard must return to its original
position. If "
STOP
"
(9)
is pressed before "
START
"
(8)
, the wrapping continues from the point in the
program at which the emergency stop was activated. If, on the other hand, "
STOP
"
(9)
is pressed
before "
ZERO
"
(3)
, then the wrapping sequence starts from the beginning again. (See further in
section 7.9.)
5.7
When the machine has been parked for some time, there might be copper acetate on the skidding
rings, so there is no contact. If so, the machine cannot be started. Rub carefully off the rings with a
fine rubbing paper. Clean it up with some alcohol or electric contact spray.
NB!
TO GET A RELIABLE MACHINE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS KEEP THE SKIDDING
RINGS AND BRUSHES CLEAN AND IN ORDER AT ALL TIME.
