Tying a Bale Manually

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 after thermic fuse resets.

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 tying.

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.

Fully extend net actuator by means of manual control switch (A). Once the net actuator is extended, the feed rolls are engaged. Hold the actuator in this position for some seconds to ensure a sufficient number of net turns.

NOTE: Holding the actuator extended between 3 and 10 seconds provides between 1.5 and 4 net turns.

Fully retract net actuator to cut the net.

IMPORTANT: If a sound alarm (warble) is heard, the net has not been cut or the net roll is empty. In this case, re-start tying cycle or check net roll.
