Getting Started in 4 Steps
There are several good ways to begin a continuous bale row. Here is the method that we
recommend:
Level Position
Use the hydraulic lever to raise the front of the bale wrapper to the horizontal position so that
the first bales that you place on the machine do not slide forward. Next, lower the front gate
(manually or with the hydraulic option) to the ground.
Compression Bales
Place the wrapping speed control lever at zero (Figure 4.1) so that the hoop does not turn.
Place 1-3 unwrapped bales on the bale wrapper platform without wrapping them. These first
bales will compress the future continuous bale row and you will be able to wrap them later. Be
sure to place these bales horizontally and in line with the pusher. Each time you place a bale on
the pusher trigger, it will activate the pusher and move the bale forward.
Ground Level
Once these unwrapped bales have been pushed through, use the hydraulic lever to slowly
lower the front of the machine to the ground. You should now place the red lever in wrapping
position (Figure 4.1). (See moving or wrapping label.)
The First Wrapped Bale
After wrapping it in a plastic bag, you are ready to load the first bale of the continuous bale
row. Be careful not to tear the plastic bag while transporting the bale and placing it on the bale
wrapper. The trigger will make the pusher advance. When the pusher has pushed this bale to
the end of its path, set the wrapping speed control to around position #4. The next bale will set
the hoop in motion, and the hoop will wrap the bale. Your continuous bale row has started.
Hydraulic Brake
At this moment, you should also gradually adjust the front wheel drive’s hydraulic brake (Figure
4.1). This more or less blocks the front wheels so as to compress the continuous bale row and
decrease as much as possible the air space between the bales. At the start of a continuous bale
row, only moderate pressure should be applied to the brake so as not to make the continuous
bale row slide on the ground and potentially damage the plastic film. As the continuous bale
row becomes heavier, greater pressure must be applied to the hydraulic brake by tightening
the brake lever. Depending on the weight of the bales and whether you are moving uphill or
downhill, the pressure should increase to between 500 psi and 1000 psi on the pressure gauge.
Layers of plastic
If necessary, readjust the wrapping speed control, which speeds up or slows down the hoop.
We recommend 5 or 6 layers of plastic film for the first 4 or 5 bales of the bale row and at least
4 layers for the following bales. Remember that each revolution of the hoop creates 2 layers of
plastic because the 2 plastic film stretchers function simultaneously.
Direction of the Continuously Wrapped Bale
You can activate the bale wrapper’s direction lever if you need to move the continuous bale row
to the right or left.
