START UP AND TESTING
Do not test this baler until all involved persons have completely read and understood this manual.
Make sure that all access covers are in position and that the baler chamber door is closed and secured with the
latch. Before proceeding with this test, make sure that all persons are clear of the baler.
1. With the MAIN disconnect switch OFF, visually inspect all hydraulic, mechanical and electrical connections. All connections
must be tight.
2. Check oil level in the reservoir to be sure it is adequate.
3. Close the MAIN disconnect switch. Turn the BALER power disconnect located on the electrical enclosure to ON.
Be alert for smoking, electrical arcing, or fuse failure. If any irregularity is observed, open the MAIN supply
switch immediately. Find the source of the trouble and make the necessary corrections.
4. Have an assistant stand so that they may clearly view the fan end of the motor. This person should be instructed to observe the
rotation direction of the motor. The motor must turn in the direction of the arrow located on the motor housing when viewed
from the fan end. If the direction arrow is missing, the motor must turn in same direction as indicating arrow on pump.
5. Insert the key into the key switch located on the control panel.
6. Turn the key counterclockwise to the HAND position.
7. Depress the green FORWARD button momentarily. The motor will start and the platen will move forward while the button is
being depressed.
8. If the observer indicates that motor rotation is incorrect, depress the EMERGENCY STOP button IMMEDIATELY and go on
to step 9. If motor rotation is correct, skip to step 11.
9. Place the key switch in the OFF position and remove the key.
Observe proper Lock Out/Tag Out procedures before changing motor rotation. Make sure that
the MAIN disconnect switch is padlocked in the OFF position. Place an appropriate warning tag,
"UNDER REPAIR, DO NOT USE", on the switch so that it will not be energized without notifying
the person making wiring connections.
10. To change motor rotation for 3 phase motors, switch any two motor wires. Switch the wires where the incoming wires connect
to the disconnect. Do not change factory wiring.
Make sure the motor wires are reconnected securely if it was necessary to switch them to correct
motor rotation.
Return to step 4 and repeat the rotation testing procedure to assure proper motor rotation.
11. Turn the key switch to OFF and then to AUTO.
