    Why is the safety bolt shorn on my Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • J
      Jason ClarkSep 16, 2025
      If the safety bolt is shorn on your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment, it's likely that the bale is too heavy or its diameter is too large. Reduce the bale weight or diameter to prevent this.

    What to do if the control system does not respond to the ON-OFF button on Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • A
      Anna RodriguezAug 25, 2025
      If the control system of your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment doesn't respond to the ON-OFF button, check if the battery supply cable is connected to the machine side cable by plugging the COBO male connector into the COBO female connector. Ensure the data cable is securely connected to the control terminal. Verify that the cables on the battery terminals are correctly connected, with the red cable (with the fuse) to the positive (+) and the black cable to the negative (-). Clean any tarnish from the battery terminals and ensure the battery voltage is at least 12 V. Finally, check the fuses in the POWER BOX module to ensure they are not burnt or missing.

    Why are the baling belts breaking on my Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • C
      Caleb StricklandAug 26, 2025
      If your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment's baling belts break or the staples give way, it could be due to foreign bodies in the product. Inspect the belts and replace or repair them as needed. Misaligned belt runs can also cause this issue, so adjust the belt guides and/or the gate rollers. Also, ensure the bale isn't exceeding the maximum diameter by checking the last bale diameter adjustment. Finally, inspect the electrical system, machine cables, tractor connections, indicator lights and the sound alarm.

    What to do if the gate fails to close on Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • E
      Elizabeth GallagherAug 27, 2025
      If the gate of your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment fails to close, first ensure that the hydraulic valve is open. Then, check for any product obstructing the gate's closing path and remove it. Finally, verify that the hydraulic system output is properly connected to the tractor by checking and retightening the hydraulic output quick-release coupling.

    Why the rotor does not turn on Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • J
      Jennifer GreenSep 16, 2025
      If the rotor does not turn on your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment, first check if the cutting assembly control lever is in NEUTRAL. If so, switch the lever to DRIVE. If that's not the issue, the safety shear bolts may have failed, so replace them.

    Why is there insufficient bale centre wrap on Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • D
      Destiny SimonSep 23, 2025
      If there is insufficient bale centre wrap on your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment, the cord guiding arm may be working too fast. Reduce the wrapper electric actuator speed by reducing the setting.

    Why are the chains slipping over the gear teeth on my Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • P
      Peter TorresSep 8, 2025
      If the chains slip over the gear teeth on your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment, the tensioners may be slack. Tension the chains and readjust the tensioners. If that doesn't solve the problem, the gears and chains may be worn out, so replace them.

    Why does the bale stop rolling on Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • D
      Dana WilsonSep 9, 2025
      If the bale stops rolling on your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment, the PTO drive shaft torque limiter may be triggered. Reset the PTO drive shaft torque limiter (see the PTO drive shaft Manual). Another possible cause is that the belt tensioning arm rollers are stuck, so check the roller bearings.

    Why are the pickup prongs missing the product with Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • V
      Vincent BryantSep 3, 2025
      If the pickup prongs are missing the product with your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment, it could be because the pickup speed is too low relative to the working speed. Increase the working speed. Also, increase the tractor PTO speed and make the product row more narrow.

    Why are the bales barrelled or tapered with Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment?
    • W
      Whitney ColeAug 31, 2025
      If the bales are barrelled or tapered when using your Metal-Fach Lawn and Garden Equipment, it may be because the product is only being collected in the centre. Follow the control terminal guidance when working on single rows on the left and right-hand sides. If the product row is too narrow, widen the product row and make it more uniform and square.
