8. Wrapper operation
The McHale Fusion 2 is designed with a wrapping system with two plastic film
dispensers. Differing to conventional wrappers, the dispensers move vertically
around the bale. The dispenser carrier system is mounted directly behind the baler
chamber. Although the dispenser carrier ring is well protected by the safety guards
and electrical safety switches the operator must ensure that all people and animals
are kept out of this region while operating the machine.
Warning! Keep all persons outside of the “danger zone” during all machine
operations! See section 4.9 for “danger zone” description.

door on the left hand side of the machine, see figure 8.11 (see opposite page
