5.3 Attaching the wrapper
1. Reverse the tractor up to the wrapper, lining up the tractor hitch with the
wrapper hitch-eye.
2. Fit the tow pin to the hitch ensuring it is secure, by inserting a linch pin.
3. Screw the jack up fully, off the ground.
4. Plug the hydraulic feed hose into a suitable hydraulic spool valve. Ensure the
control valve is correctly configured for the type of hydraulic system on the
tractor. Refer to “Hydraulic spool valve setup” on page 27 for more details.
5. Plug the hydraulic return hose into a connection that has a freeflow into the
back of the tractor. It is very important to ensure that it is in freeflow to get the
best results from the wrapper.
6. Plug the 7 pin lighting plug into the 7 pin socket on the tractor.
7. Place the electronic box in the tractor cab and secure it to the glass in an
appropriate place, using the suction pad on the rear. The safety strap must be
secured to protect the box from accidental damage. If there is no cab on the
tractor secure as appropriate, bearing in mind the box is not waterproof.
8. Screw the 37 pin socket on the electronic box and the 37 pin plug on the
machine together. Connect the control box to the tractor euro socket or direct
to the battery using the power cable. There must be a good 12 V supply to the
control box.
9. Connect the bale wrap computer (991 B, 991 BC & 991 BJS) to the tractor euro
socket or direct to the battery using the power cable. There must be a good
12 V supply to the bale wrap computer.
10. For 991 BJS (joystick) models, the joystick may be placed near the operator in
a convenient location.
11. For 991 BJS models, connect the bale wrap computer to the joystick connector
and connect the Euro plug to the tractor.
12. Check that all of the above functions operate correctly.
13. The machine is now ready to work.
CAUTION: Control levers must be stored appropriately
For 991 B and 991 BC place the control levers in an appropriate place,
either on the machine or on the tractor. Cable controls may be placed
in the cab if desired. However manual spool valve controls must be kept
outside the tractor cab.
