2 Safety Your ANDERSON bale wrapper was designed to reduce to a minimum the risks to the operator. However, it must be used only for the work it was designed for. Additionally, since it includes a powerful hydraulic system, moving metal parts, a nd a gas oline engine and al l these elements can cause se rious injury to hu mans or anima ls, it is strongly recommended to read and to closely adhere to the following guidelines.
tighten the tank cap and wipe away any spilled fuel. Never add gasoline when the engine is hot or operating. Have a working fire extinguisher within arm’s reach near the baling site. Hydraulic Oil Any leak o f pressurized oil can cause serious injuries. Do no t use your hands to l ocate a leak , but rat her an o bject s uch as a piec e o f c ardboard.
End of Operation If you will not use the bale wrapper again for a lo ng period of time, do not forget to close the engine fuel valve (1), located beneath the choke on the right side of the engine (Figure 2.2). Figure 2.2 Closing the fuel valve.

For example, if the machine refuses to start or to function, you might see: [Out of range] The search for the wrapper during start-up fa iled. The re ceiver is turned off or too far away or your remote control is not associated.
Gear and encoder Hole Zero setting sensor Figure 5.3 Turntable gear [Unloading sensor error / Unloading] This sensor is located near the right axle and limits the rise and fall of the unloading table. It senses the presence of a lower hole when the table is lowered and an upper h ole when the table is raised (Figure 5.4).
Figure 5.4 Unloading sensor error [Other messages] If you use the emergency stop, you will see [emergency stop]. If you install the charger, you will see [Charging battery] or [Charging finished].

5.3 Start and End Wrapping Start If you do not use the optional hydraulic unit, adjust your tractor at a flow ra te of 8 GPM at 2000 PSI. Make sure your bale counter has been properly programmed. WARNING ! Once the tab le’s latc h has b een removed, u se th e lever s to l ower the rear (1 ) and front (2 ) stabilizers ( Figure 5 .5), if ap plicable.
Levers (Figure 5.5) Note: The table levers (tab le ro tation (4), un loading (5), and pl astic film cu tter) (3) can be controlled manually to test the machine or to finish wrapping in case of a major electrical problem.
Warning ! Grease Gun Lubrication Your ANDERSON bale wrapper must be lubricated with a grease gun in the places indicated by the sticker (Figure 6.1). Figure 6.1 Grease gun lubrication Note: The use of synthetic grease is highly recommended...

Other Lubrication Points The p ower transmission cha ins and ot her m oving part s o f the mac hine must be o iled or greased regularly or every 50 hours. This also applies to the 2 toothed wheels of the plastic film stretcher.
Cleaning and Other Maintenance Pay particular attention to the cleanliness of the plastic film cutter system. An accumulation of debris (hay, dust, string, etc.) can reduce its functionality. Regularly check the cutting condition of the blade. Always keep the rollers and the gears of the plastic film stretcher free of a ll residue to p revent these p arts from jam ming, b reaking, or tearing the p lastic film.

They a re equi pped with s ecurity valves (lo ck va lves) to p revent i nadvertent mo vement of s tabilizers or the fee t from co llapsing, whether t he machi ne is t urned on or not.
To transport the wrapper equipped with a loading arm, install the safety pin (1) that keeps he loading arm upright. WARNING! Figure 8.2 Bale Loading Arm Installing the Bale Loading Arm Control For the connections, refer to the parts book in section (electrical diagram of loading arm). Look at t he f ollowing ill ustrations to place t he c onnections.

Additionally, this unl oading p latform mak es it po ssible to turn bales on one sid e or the ot her according to the preference of the user. To make this change, the operator need only place the barrier (6) on to p of the pla tform, the foot (4), the support roller (1), and the retaining bar (5) on the other side of th e unloading platform.
Page 47
Attaching the retaining arm on the support Install the support of the arm. Place the support on the dumping unit and bolt into place. Holes on the dumper are predrilled from the factory. Installation of the retaining arm Insert the fixed part of the arm into the support.

You can now attach the ‘’L’’ shaped bar to the straight bar. (4 bolts) Installation of the cone shaped roller Remove the deflector at the end of the dumper to reveal the placement holes for the cone shaped roller. Place the cone shaped roller on the same side as the foot as you will be bumping the bale to the opposite side.
This procedure is for if you are dropping the bale to the left side. The same procedure is used when dumping to the right side but the foot and cone roller will be placed on the other side of the machine. Also the ‘’L ‘’ shaped retaining arm must be inserted opposite to the procedure. Charging the accumulator When the unloading platform does not go back to its position, you must correct the pressure in the accumulator to a pres sure ra nging from 1000 t o 1200 l bs.
