No Checkpoint prior to startup
5 Check the tension of chains, carrier belts, and chamber belts.
6 Check wrapping table sensors and table movement.
7 Leave the wrapping table in its middle position.
8 Look for oil leaks.
9 Check the oil temperature.
10 Check the levelling of the machine.
4.3.2 Checkpoints while baling
No Checkpoint prior to baling
1 Continuously observe all moving parts and functions.
2 Check the tracking of both chamber belts (leveling will affect the tracking).
3 Check the greasing pump function.
4 Check the chain lubrication system (Dry chains?).
5 Check the condition and cleaning of chamber rollers. Too much material on the rollers will affect the track-
ing of the chamber belts.
6 Avoid overfilling of the space between the elevator and sub conveyor. (Easily avoided by controlling the
material amount fed into the elevator).
4.4 BREAK-IN PERIOD
The first 50 hours of operation are considered to be the break-in period.
NOTE: Before the compactor is shipped from the factory, Orkel has performed a thorough quality control and
made a test run. The test run is done without any material. The need of some adjustments during first start
up is to be expected, depending on the material being baled.
4.4.1 Precautions during the break-in period
When the compactor is brand new, there are a couple of things that need special attention from the oper-
ator. The tensioning of the elevator chain must be checked and, if necessary, readjusted during the first
three hours of operation.
4.4.2 After the first 50 hours of operation
Change the oil, and all oil filters.
