Baler & Wrapper

Wrapping rotations
Film layers are set by the number of ring rotations. Count
the number of rotations required to cover the bale once and
add 0.5 of a rotation, then multiply this resultant figure by
half the number of layers required, e.g. (3.5 + 0.5) x 2 = 8
rotations for four layers.
Tipping
Once the bale is finished wrapping, it can be tipped off at
any time, by pressing Button R6. If “Auto tip” is turned on,
then the bale will be automatically tipped when netting starts
on the next bale. If ‘Auto tip’ is turned off then the bale must
be manually tipped by one press of Button R6 every cycle.
‘Auto’ will be shown on the screen to indicate when Auto tip
is switched on.
Tipping x2
This feature is used to tip two bales together for ease of
collection. The first bale made is tipped as the bale in the
chamber is being netted. Once netted, this bale is
transferred and tipped immediately. To activate this feature
turn off wrapping in the main menu and toggle the Auto tip
setting to “x2”. Then, “x2” is shown under the tip arm when
feature is active.
Tip pause
Once a bale is on the wrapper, button L5 shows the tip
pause option. Press this button to pause the bale from
tipping off when ‘Auto tip’ is on. Press button R6 to tip the
paused bale.
Unblocking
If a blockage ever occurs in the feed channel during baling,
the operator will be alerted by the sound of the PTO slip
clutch. The PTO should be disengaged immediately and
‘Unblock’ (Button R2) pressed to activate the unblock
routine and drop the floor and knives. Once the floor has
been lowered, the PTO can be smoothly re-engaged to feed
the blockage through to the chamber. Pressing “Reset”
(Button R2) once will reset the floor and knives and baling
can continue.
