Squeeze Pressure
• 1st Squeeze Pressure: Adusts the pressure used to pick the rst bale in the Auto load sequence.
• 2nd Squeeze Pressure: Adjusts the pressure used to pick the second (and third if aplicable) bale in the Auto Load
sequence.
Note: If the “2nd Squeeze Pressure” is set lower than the “1st Squeeze Pressure”, then the monitor will use
the “1st Squeeze Pressure”.
Timer Adjustments
Using the factory settings for the timers is recommended
• Lower Loader Timer: In the Auto-Load Sequence, the monitor will hold the valve open to lower the loader for the
time specied in this parameter.
• Grab Hooks Delay Timer: In the Auto-Load Sequence, when the rst squeeze pressure is reached, the monitor
will begin to raise the loader and engage the grab hooks. By delaying the grab-hook engagement slightly, a little
more hydraulic power is sent to the loader initially to help lift the bale off the ground. This helps to reduce the
distance the bale is dragged on the ground.
• Grab Hook Engagement: In the Auto-Load Sequence, the monitor will hold the valve open to engage or disengage
the grab hooks for the time specied in this parameter.
Power Slide Push Back
The parameters set in this menu are related to the how the power slide pushes bales in the Auto-Load Sequence.
• 1st Acceleration Rate: When the power slide is pushing bales back in the Auto screen, the monitor starts pushing
the bales back slowly, and accelerates as the bale move back. Each time the Hall Effect sensor (located near
the power slide drive shaft) senses a tooth on the “star wheel” it increases the speed of the motor. A higher
percentage for the rst acceleration rate will speed the power slide up faster.
• 2nd Acceleration Rate: When the power reaches a certain point on the bed, a new variable is used to control how
fast the motor accelerates.
• Start 2nd Acceleration: This variable controls where the second acceleration begins. The units of the variable is
the “# of teeth” counted at the star wheel. Each “tooth” equals approximately 2” of travel down the bed.
• Initial Power Slide Force: Sets the initial valve opening when pushing back bales in the Auto-Load sequence.
See “Power Slide Push Back Adjustment - Power Slide Acceleration Curve” for diagram.
