Operating Instructions

Plastic Wrapping

• 

While  wrapping,  the  tractor  driver  should  drive  at 

a  speed  that  is  comfortable  for  the  plastic  wrapper 

operator.

• 

A  comfortable  speed  may  vary  with  the  conditions, 

but generally 3-4 mph is recommended for safe and 

efficient operation.  

• 

For plastic with heavy trash cover it may be necessary 

to slow down to give the trash time to fall away from 

the plastic.

• 

Operating the wrapper too slowly increases the chance 

of tearing the plastic.  

• 

DO NOT operate the wrapper at speeds over 5 mph!

• 

The tractor driver should maintain a consistent travel 

speed and keep the machine centered on the row.

Removing the Plastic

• 

When  the  reel  is  at,  or  near,  capacity,  it  is  necessary  to 

remove the plastic from the reels.

• 

Turn the tractor off!

• 

With the tractor off, insert the reel release bar (a) into the 

reel  and  pull  towards  the  front  of  the  wrapper,  as  shown 

(Figure 10), to release and collapse the reel.

• 

Note:  If it requires too much force to collapse the reel, the 

reel stops may need to be adjusted (see “Adjusting the Reel”, 

page 10).

• 

With the reels collapsed, the plastic should slide easily off 

of the reel.

• 

Before  starting  to  wrap  again,  push  the  reel  towards 

the  front  of  the  wrapper  to  ensure  that  it  is  firmly  in  the 

wrapping position so that the reel does not collapse during 

operation.

Routine Maintenance

It is very important to perform routine maintenance on your plastic wrapper before and after each use.  Good maintenance practices 

will help to guard against any unnecessary machine breakdowns or accidents.

1.  Perform a visual and physical inspection for  worn parts, loose 

bolts, or other visible problems.  Make all necessary repairs 

before  operating.    Contact  an  authorized  CropCare
