11.1 Side-tip
When the machine tips off the wrapped bale, the outer wrapper roller moves down to
ground level and ejects the bale. This eliminates problems associated with bales being
tipped from a height and getting damaged as they roll away.
In stalky crops or on rougher ground conditions a side-tip option is available which
allows the machine to tip the bales on their ends where there is additional film.
Operating your machine with side-tip
Once the side-tip frame is assembled to the machine, it will operate automatically
without any operator input. As each wrapping cycle is completed, the operator must
ensure that a clear and sufficiently large landing area is available for the bale.
Safety
Always ensure that there are no persons behind or around the wrapper during
operation and unloading. It must also be noted that the side-tip frame adds 1.7 m to the
overall length of the machine. Always allow for the tail swing when turning the machine
and side-tip frame. Beware of projection distance to the rear of the machine, when
reversing, a side-tip attachment greatly increases the length of the machine.
Road transport
The side-tip
must not be used on public roadways and must always be folded vertically
beforehand. It is
is not to be used in fields or on roads at speeds above 20 km/h. It must
be ascertained first that road regulations in the country of use allow you to transport the
side-tip frame behind the machine.
