Wrapping a Bale-Manual ModeOnce the bale has reached the desired diameter stop forward travel of tractor. IMPORTANT: When bale reaches the preset size for the start of the wrapping cycle, a sound alarm is emitted. If a second sound alarm is heard, this means that the bale is now oversized and that tractor forward travel should be stopped immediately as baler damage could occur. Move twine arm by means of manual control switch (A) to the extreme right-hand position. Check pulleys to make sure twines have been caught. If not, drive forward slightly to feed some crop that will pull the twines. Hold the twine arm in this position for some seconds to ensure a sufficient number of twine coils at the right end of the bale. This will ensure a stronger wrapping. Bring back twine arm to "HOME" position by means of manual control switch (A). Stop the return movement several times to ensure a sufficient number of twine coils around the bale. The return movement can easily be controlled by means of the twine arm indicator which shows the position of the twine arm (B) and (C). Just before twine arm reaches "HOME" position, stop twine arm for few seconds to ensure a sufficient number of twine coils around the left end of bale. Let twine arm finish its movement and trip twine cutter linkage.

IMPORTANT: The actuator motor is protected by a thermic fuse. If manual control switch (A) is actuated when actuator is fully extended or fully retracted, the thermic fuse will trip. In this case wait until fuse resets. If thermic fuse trips, disengage PTO, otherwise twine will continue to unwind. Engage PTO again when thermic fuse resets. Back up tractor 2 to 3 m (8 to 10 ft) (not necessary if baler is equipped with discharging ramp). The bale is now ready to be discharged. See "Discharging Bale" in this Section. |
