PROCEDURE REF# A-RBM-007 Security Valve, Pressure reducer valve and Solenoid diagnosis Problem: No movement of a part of the automated functions of the RBMPro in automatic pick up mode and/or in manual mode Diagnosis: If you have already tested the manual lever (by putting the machine in Manual function on the Danfoss control and then going to the levers on the side of the trailer) and the function does move then you have a problem with the main valve solenoid.

PROCEDURE REF# A-RBM-010 Horizontal pick up procedure pick up procedure Tip: When you load your first bale; pause the motion before contact with the bale and observe (by exiting the tractor and estimating where contact will take place). By doing this you may avoid bale sideroll and keep your rows tight.

PROCEDURE REF# A-RBM-013 Adjustment of the clamp’s bale sensor (LS_BA sensor) The LS_BA sensor should be setup in an OFF position while not in use. The sensor needs to activate when the small arm is being pushed and then turn off again. To set this sensor up properly you must first adjust it high enough so that its light does not turn on and slowly press on the small arm so that the sensor gets activated by the small arms bottom corner.

PROCEDURE REF# A-RBM-016 Conveyors width adjustment procedure The conveyors allow the bales to move on the trailer’s bed while loading and unloading it. It must be set to the proper bale size before loading your bales. The setting of the conveyors’ width is done directly from the hydraulic controls of the tractor. The conveyors are equipped with a visual indicator for positioning.

PROCEDURE REF# A-RBM-021 Side rails and rollers adjustment procedure The side rails and rollers prevent the bales from falling to the ground while they are loaded and during transportation. They must be adjusted depending on the dimension of the bales. The setting must be done so that there is 15cm (6 inches) between the side rails or rollers and the bales.
Page 40
PROCEDURE REF# A-RBM-025 Tripple stack tips When using the triple stack configuration, you should keep your bales as close to each other as you can to keep the top bales sitting firmly on top. To adjust how compact your bales are, you can adjust the sensor LS_PO_M1 and LS_PO_R.
