11.1 Side-tip
When the machine tips off the wrapped bale, the outer wrapper roller moves down to
ground level and ejects the bale. This eliminates problems associated with bales being
tipped from a height and getting damaged as they roll away. For stalky crops or on
rough ground conditions a side-tip option is available which allows the machine to tip
the bales on their ends where there is additional film.
Operating your machine with side-tip
Once the side-tip frame is assembled to the machine, it will operate automatically
without any operator input. As each wrapping cycle is completed, the operator must
ensure that a clear and sufficiently large landing area is available for the bale. The
hydraulic flow rate can be adjusted to modulate the speed at which the rear cradle and
side-tip moves using the operator adjustable flow-restrictor valve (CVA00276)
mounted under the main hydraulic valve. (P)
Safety
Always ensure that there are no persons behind or around the wrapper during
operation and unloading. It must also be noted that the side-tip frame adds 1.7 m to the
overall length of the machine. Always allow for the tail swing when turning the machine
and side-tip frame. Beware of projection distance to the rear of the machine, when
reversing, a side-tip attachment greatly increases the length of the machine.
Road transport
If the side tip is to be transported on public roads while attached to the machine, it shall
be raised in the vertical transport position. It is not to be used in fields or on roads at
speeds above 20 km/h.
External tip control
There is an external tip control located on the back left
corner of the machine. The external tip control is a
double button switch, pressing and holding the upper
button raises the rear cradle at a slow speed and
pressing and holding the lower button lowers it, at a
slow speed. The control box must be in Manual mode.
