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
