11.7: Running a simulated “bale to wrapping” cycle
The following procedure is used to test a full “bale to wrapping” cycle in the absence
of any baling material. It can be used to determine the correct operation for nearly
all equipment from the start of the baling cycle to the end of the wrapping cycle. The
following is the procedure used:
1. Before starting tractor, remove the net roll from the netting unit, this is
important, otherwise net may get tangled up in the netter unit rollers, creating a
mess and wasting net! See section 7.4.
2. Turn on the control box and select manual mode, “MAN” will be displayed on
the control box display. See section 11.
3. Scroll through the control box menu and turn the film sensor to “Off” as in 11.6.
*
4. Turn on PTO at a speed of 540 rpm.
5. While keeping an eye on the bill hook location, near the net set handle, see
section 7.5 for details, press the “Net Feed” button, until the bill hook is nearly
set to trip (the hook is nearly as high as it will travel on the knurled wheel
before tripping downwards, do not allow to trip).
6. Press the “Chamber door open” button until the door raises slightly and an
audible beeping sound is heard.
7. Switch the control box to “Automatic” mode. Note: If “Net?” is displayed in the
control box display, then switch the “Manual/Automatic” button twice. This will
ensure tripping of the bill hook.
8. Allow machine to run it’s full cycle.
9. Press the “Tip bale” button on the Expert Plus control box.
*Note: If an “Out of Film” error is displayed, this means step 3 above was not
carried out correctly and the film sensors are set to “On”.
Warning! Keep all persons outside of the “danger zone” during all machine
operations! See section 4.9 for “danger zone” description.
