Operators manual

OPERATION INSTRUCTION.
We shall now go through a complete wrapping process, from loading to storage place, and
explain the practical use of the MINI WRAP 404.
7.1
LOADING.
On an EH machine you load a bale with the loading arm
.
Place the bale on top of the rollers, as
close to the middle as possible. Move both support rollers as close to the bale as possible.
7.2
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF DISPENSER.
The height of the pre-stretcher has to be adjusted so that the plastic film is always hitting the
middle of the bale. (See more about this in chapter 5.5 and 6.2).
7.3
TIPS ON WRAPPING SQUARE BALES
.
The MINI WRAP 404EH is assembled for delivery with the rollers in the outer position. If the
bales to be wrapped are inn some degree larger or smaller than mean measure then the rollers
must be moved. (Optimally the film should meet the bale being wrapped in the middle.) The
chain cover must be removed, and the Rocking roller assembly moved either in or out. The chain
will be adjusted so ensure the chain-tension is tightened before finally the bolts are replaced.
Remember that a hard and well packed bale will give the best result when wrapping.
7.4
START.
Remember that the plastic film end must be tied to the bale. This is normally only necessary on
the first bale. Operate the hydraulic lever carefully to make a gently start. To quick start can rip
off the plastic film, and then it has to be tied again.
7.5
OVERLAP.
Control that the overlap is correct. If not, see chapter 6.4.
7.6
HOW MANY LAYERS OF PLASTIC FILM?
When the bale is completely covered with film, read the counter that displays the number of
revolutions done by the turntable. If you don’t have a counter, you have to count the revolutions
yourself, (or you can measure the time it takes). This number has to be multiplied by 2 or 3,
depending on how many layers of film you want to have.
*
4 layers
-
multiply by 2.
*
6 layers
-
multiply by 3.
7.7
STOP /
UNLOADING.
When the wrapping is complete, ensure the turntable is in the tip position (i.e at right angle to the
chassis). Then lift the turntable until the bale falls off. The film can stick to the bale, because this
is preferred cut off when loading the next bale.
7.8
NEW BALE.
Lower the turntable down again. Then place a new bale on top of the rollers, and attach the film
to the bale (404 S only), and start wrapping. Now the plastic film from the last should be cut off.
Fasten the film end, if necessary, with some weatherproof tape.
