4 SAFE OPERATION OF MACHINE Operator Authorization The machine owner must provide the operator of the machine this manual and ensure that the operator reads and understands the contents. This must be performed before the machine is put into operation. Safety Alert Symbol This safety alert symbol is used to alert the operator to the potential for personal injury.
Page 10
General Safety Precautions / Accident Prevention Continued 9. Know how to stop Ag-Bagger operation BEFORE starting the machine. 10. DO NOT enter the conveyor or hopper while the machine is operating or any time the PTO is still connected to the tractor or before following the Power Shut Down Procedure on the next page.
Page 11
24. DO NOT stand between the tractor and Ag-Bagger when hitching or unhitching Ag-Bagger unless engine is stopped, and parking brake is engaged. 25. ALWAYS STAY CLEAR of cables, cable drums and backstop. Cables are under tension during Ag-Bagging Operations. A fast release of tension could have unexpected consequences.

Moving Wheels to Ag-Bagging Position and Connecting Tractor NOTE: Backstop must be placed at the starting position of the bag. Ag-Bagger must be on a firm, level site to move wheels and hitch. IMPORTANT: Site for moving wheels must be level to prevent Ag-Bagger from rolling when unhitched from the towing vehicle.
Page 20
Install tractor on Ag-Bagger and install appropriately sized hitch pin. Turn tractor off, ensure in park, and remove key. For the T7270 and T7170, remove lift jack, rotate 90 degrees and place into transport position on the hitch using cross pin provided. For the T7060, or to use manual lifting, install the lift jack at the towing hitch end wheel lift position.
Page 21
For the T7170 and T7270, clear the area of bystanders, check that all previous steps are complete, and safely start the tractor and start the PTO at low idle. Keeping the tractor in park and at low idle, go to the operator station at the Ag- Bagger and activate the lever for Figure 22.
Page 22
For all models, fully raise the jack stand at the towing hitch end of the machine. Secure the jack stand in the raised position with the cross pin and lynch pin. See Figure 26. For the T7060, use the lift jacks to lower the machine down to the ground and remove the pressure from the lift jacks.

Attach the Backstop Place the backstop where it is intended to start the Ag-Bag. If needed, back the Ag-Bagger up next to the backstop. The backstop should be aligned with the tunnel opening and 1 to 2 feet behind the tunnel.
Lower Conveyor to Operating Position The tractor PTO must be safely engaged before operating the hydraulic conveyor raise and lower control. Before lowering the conveyor, release the conveyor lift lock at the upper end of the slide rail. Pull the lock down and rotate to retain the pin in a disengaged condition to release the conveyor lift lock.

Set Brake Pressure Using the hydraulic hand pump, set the cable drum brake pressure between 400 and 450 psi. The pump valve must be closed, and needle valve must be open, to increase brake pressure. Close the needle valve to hold pressure. Open both valves to release the brake Figure 59.
Verifying Tunnel Cleanout Closed For the T7270 and T7170, it is important to ensure that the cleanout door is closed prior to any Ag-Bagging operation. The T7060 is not equipped with tunnel cleanout. The tractor PTO must be safely engaged before operating the tunnel cleanout control.
Ag-Bagging Operation IMPORTANT: The Ag-Bagger must be greased and DANGER: lubricated during the Ag-Bagging To avoid serious injury, operation. See the Lubrication and climb Maintenance section of this manual. around or in Ag-Bagger or conveyor while in operation. Falling into machine will result in serious injury or death.

Start the inoculant applicator, if so equipped once product is being unloaded onto conveyor. Turn inoculant applicator off just before load is empty. Check the cable drum brake pressure and adjust as required according to the following indicators: A. Check the stretch bars on the side of the bag.
Sweeping Tunnel Cleanout Operation T7060, cleanout done Lift the safety collar at the lever and pull manually. Using the release valve or the lever back to the neutral position. See valves on the hydraulic hand pump, Figure 70. slightly release the cable brake pressure and move the Ag-Bagger forward about 5 feet (1.5 m).
Backstop Removal WARNING Backstop is heavy. Use Set a slight brake pressure to retain the care when moving cables in position. backstop. equipment capable of handling the backstop. See Backstop Setup section of this manual information regarding handling methods for backstop. Ensure the tractor is still in park.
Removing the Ag-Bag from the Ag- Bagger Once the cleanout is complete, the backstop removed, the cables rewound, and the bungee cord released, safely pull the Ag-Bagger forward. The bag will slide off the tunnel. Figure 74. End of Ag-Bagging Stop the tractor, put in park, shut off engine and remove key.
Venting the Ag-Bag Part Number Description AA1500893 Reusable Vent Valve Immediately after the Ag-Bag is sealed, AA1500568 Vent Installation Tool a vent must be installed to remove the gases produced by the product. Figure 78. Vent Valve Components A reusable vent valve and vent tool are available from your Ag-Bag dealer.
Moving Wheels to Transport Position IMPORTANT: Site for moving wheels must be level to prevent Ag-Bagger from rolling when unhitched from the towing vehicle. Ground conditions must be firm to prevent lift jacks from settling during wheel removal. IMPORTANT: Keep service door closed whenever the tractor is running to shield moving components around the hydraulic pump Figure 82.
Page 42
For the T7270 and T7170, clear the area of bystanders and safely start the tractor and start the PTO at low idle. Keeping the tractor in park and at low idle, go to the operator station at the Ag- Bagger and push the lever for machine lift.
Page 43
For all models, lower the jack stand at the towing hitch end of the machine while the machine is in a raised position. Secure the jack stand in the lowered position with the cross pin and lynch pin. See Figure 89. For the T7060, use the lift jacks to lower Figure 89.

10 ADJUSTMENTS Conveyor Position The single greatest adjustment that can be made to impact the performance of the T7270, T7170 and T7060 Ag-Bagger is the conveyor position. To maximize throughput and bag density, the product must be delivered to the rotor and forage distributor at the very center of the machine.
The control lever will return to the centered (neutral) position when released. Pulling the control lever will raise the conveyor. See Figure 119. The conveyor must not rest on the ground when Ag-Bagging. Keep the conveyor approximately six Figure 119. Conveyor Raise and Lower inches off the ground.
