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.
