Operating Instructions

Preparing for Wrapping

• 

It is very important for the tractor driver to keep the wrapper centered on the row.

• 

With the plastic wrapper set to the correct depth, drive 15 to 20 feet on the row to split and lift the plastic.

• 

Lift the end of the plastic and thread the it through the plastic guide (a) and wrap it around the reel (b) as shown (Figure 8).  

• 

Wrap the plastic around the reel and tie it to itself. (DO NOT tie the plastic directly to the reel as this will make removing the 

plastic difficult).

• 

Repeat the process for the other reel.

Using the Control Levers

• 

The  wrapper  operator  should  stand  on  the  wrapper 

platform and firmly grip the handrails at all times during 

operation.

• 

Be sure that the wrapper operator is familiar with the 

control levers before beginning operation.

• 

The  control  levers  (a,  Figure  9)  control  the  speed  at 

which the reels rotate.  Pushing the levers forward will 

cause  the  reels  to  speed  up,  while  pulling  the  levers 

back will cause the reels to slow down.  The reels will 

stop when the levers are released.

• 

Before moving, push the levers forward to wrap up any 

excess plastic.

• 

When  the  tractor  is  in  motion,  the  job  of  the  wrapper 

operator  is  to  control  the  speed  of  the  reels.   The  reel 

speed must be adjusted to match the speed of travel.

• 

The plastic should be lifted approximately 6”-40” behind 

the coil shank.

• 

When  the  reels  are  spinning  at  the  proper  speed,  the 

plastic should not touch the plastic guide (a, Figure 8).

• 

Note: Running the reel too slowly for an extended period 

of  time  will  cause  the  plastic  to  wrap  unevenly  on  the 

reel or fall off of the reel.

Figure 8: Preparing for wrapping

WARNING:    Never  operate  the  plastic  reels  while  not 

standing on the operator’s  platform, or while a person 

is close to the reels
