WRAPPING
1. Start the engine, let it idle for a short period of time to warm up.
2. Release the tail/ramp hydraulic locking valve while keeping the manual lock bar connected.
3. Activate the hydraulic control lever to pressurize the tail/ramp system.
4. Disconnect the tail/ramp lock bar and rotate it forward to the
storage position.
Note; Stand aside of the tail/ramp when disconnecting
the lock bar in case there is an air pocket in the system
that would allow the tail/ramp to fall back upon removal.
5. Turn the wheel brake valve to the upright or off position.
6. Activate the hydraulic control lever to lower the tail/ramp.
The ramp will lower and the wheel brake will set.
7. Activate the Start/Reset switch on the control box by
pushing up and releasing. This switch must always be
activated before any functions of the control box will operate.
8. Place the Mode switch in the manual position.
9. Place a bale on the table, engage the manual push forward switch and hold to push the bale into the
wrapper - DO NOT ENGAGE THE HOOP TO WRAP THE BALE.
10. Continue this operation until there are 4 bales pushed through the LINEWRAP without being wrapped.
This will create a pressure backstop to ensure that there are no air pockets between the wrapped bales.
11. Place an end cap on the 5th bale, load onto the wrapper, and manually engage the hoop switch to
wrap the bale when it reaches the beginning of the hoop.
12. The amount of wrap can be adjusted by turning the hoop speed control valve located below the
control panel. Silage bales should be wrapped with 9-10 layers of film. 1 wrap should be the equivalent
to 1 mil of film. Check with your film vender for thickness. The number of layers of film can be determined
by dividing the width of the film (in inches) by the number of inches between wraps. The number of
inches between wraps is determined by measuring the seam to seam distance of the film on the bales.
Example: Film width = 30 inches, distance between wraps is 3 inches, the amount of film being applied
is 30/3 = 10 layers of film.
