FORWARD - Green Push Button
When the SYSTEM is set to AUTO, depressing the FORWARD button activates auto cycle and starts the motor and the platen
moves forward. When the platen reaches full extension into the bale chamber, it reverses automatically and returns to its original
starting position. When the SYSTEM is set to HAND, depress and hold the FORWARD button to manually move the platen
forward. The platen will stop when the FORWARD button is released while in hand.
REVERSE - Yellow Push Button
When the SYSTEM is set to AUTO, depressing the REVERSE button activates auto cycle and starts the motor and the platen
moves backwards and retracts fully. When the SYSTEM is set to HAND, depress and hold the REVERSE button to manually
back the platen up. The platen will discontinue moving when the REVERSE button is released while in hand.
CONVEYOR ON OVERRIDE - Push Button
Depressing this button activates conveyor auto cycle. Also, depressing this button starts and operates the conveyor, overriding
the baler photo eye function. The CONVEYOR OFF-ON must be set to ON for this switch to operate the conveyor.
CONVEYOR OFF-ON - 2 Position Selector Switch
In the ON position, the conveyor starts and stops automatically and is controlled by the baler photo eye. The conveyor does
not operate when set in the OFF position. Upon first start up or after an emergency stop has been depressed, the override
button must be depressed in order to initiate the conveyor.
HOPPER OVER FILL LIMIT - 2 Position Selector Switch
Photo eyes are placed at high and low positions in the hopper to regulate incoming material. This switch selects which photo
eye is active. The lower photo eye operates the baler and the conveyor. The upper photo eye operates the conveyor only.
When the HOPPER OVER FILL LIMIT is set to LOWER, the chamber fills for one charge, the baler cycles and the conveyor
stops. When the HOPPER OVER FILL LIMIT is set to UPPER, the conveyor will continue filling the hopper until material
reaches the upper photo eye, so that another charge is ready when the platen reverses.
