If your cardboard baler is not operating properly, there are a few areas that can be checked before requesting
a service technician to come repair the machine. To save downtime and the cost of an unnecessary service call,
use the following guide to troubleshoot the machine before calling service. Do not attempt to service the machine
in areas beyond the scope of this troubleshooting guide. Call 1-800-754-4290 for repairs.

The bale won’t eject.
1. Ensure that the dump handle was engaged before the machine was operated in the “Manual Up” mode to
dump the bale.
2. On newer balers, the paint on the inside of the bale chamber may prevent the bale from ejecting well. The
bales will eject more easily as each consecutive bale is ejected.
3. While ejecting the bale the motor may shut off. If this occurs, the baler cycle timer has timed out. Simply
turn the key switch to restart the baler and proceed with ejecting the bale.
4. If the bale will still not eject properly, call
