13) It is forbidden to operate the wrapping machine with any of the assemblies lifted. 14) Do not stand between the wrapping machine and the tractor when the tractor engine is running. 15) Exercise extreme caution when coupling and uncoupling the wrapping machine with/from the tractor.
2 Drive operation 2.1 Coupling with drive The Z593-0E bale wrapper should be coupled with agricultural tractors with minimum 30 kW power and 0.9 draw class with two power hydraulic system connection. The wrapper shall be coupled to the tractor's lower hitch which allows the transfer of •...
preprogrammed number of revolutions and stop at the unload position. If not, manually set the table to the correct stop position using slow movements. - unload the machine in semi-automatic mode. If the hydraulic and control systems work correctly, load the first bale and make sure if the load on the tractor's front axle is larger than 20% of the tractor's weight.

4.2 Operating the control panel The panel is an electronic device for operating the wrapper; it also provides the user with information on the current settings and the condition of the machine. 4.2.1 Activating the panel Insert the wrapper's plug to the tractor's 12 V socket. Connect the panel to control module with D-sub DE-9 L=10 m cable.

The wrapper returns to the home position after each full work cycle. The home position refers to a situation when all moving elements of the machine are placed in position ready for work, i.e. loading the next bale. In the home position, the working elements of the wrapper are positioned as follows: - loading arm is lowered and open, - turntable positioned in parallel to the front beam of the wrapper's main frame,...
4.2.4 Wrapper manual control You can move the working elements of the wrapper using the buttons numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 on the panel. The movement is actuated until you hold a button pressed or until an element reaches extreme position and limit switch activates.
Perform the actions from items 3 to 13 to wrap the next bales. This system results in the production of three wrapped bales placed next to each other. This in turn facilitates loading of bales from the field. 4.2.6 Automatic operation The difference between the automatic and semi-automatic mode is that no confirmation after the automatic loading is completed is necessary to start wrapping.

Install the locking device and secure it with pins. Press F2 (automatic mode must be off). Press +/- buttons to select mode: Tryb Pracy Poz. Transportowa. Confirm your choice with Enter. After installing the locking device, lower the turntable again by holding turntable lowering button until the bale on end kit's support is lifted.
4.2.8 Stop during wrapping Press Start/Stop during a wrapping operation in automatic/semi-automatic mode to stop the machine. This will deactivate the automatic mode and stop the moving units (the arm stopped during loading, turntable stopped during wrapping, turntable's tipping frame during unloading). To avoid the repeated automatic loading with a bale already placed on the turntable or to avoid repeated wrapping of an already wrapped bale, you can choose the type of activity to start again during an active automatic mode.
5.1 Correcting sensor settings Wrapper sensors (10 pcs. in a wrapper) are more prone to damages and they are mainly responsible for safe operation. Replace faulty sensors. The operation range of sensors is from 1 to 5 mm. If you correct the distance between the sensor and actuator, keep approx. 3 mm gap. Do not allow direct contact of the tip of the sensor with actuator or other metal parts of the machine.

5.3 Adjustable hydraulic valves Throttle check valves are installed in the wrapper's hydraulic system. Do not change the factory-settings of the valves without consulting a service centre or manufacturer. Fig. 13. Location of check-throttle valves. Two check-throttle valves (fig. 13, items 1 and 2) controlling the unloading of the turntable are installed next to the actuator for lifting and lowering the wrapper's turntable during the bale unloading.
5.4 Towbar position change The wrapper's towbar may be positioned in one of the three levels (Fig. 15): Working item A • Medium item B • Transport item C • The towbar position shall be adjusted after coupling with the tractor's transport hitch. Fig.

5.6 Adjustment of driving chain Two chain transmissions are used in this bale wrapper. Adjust the tension of driving chains after wrapping the first 10 bales. Adjust the turntable drive chains tension using stretchers installed on the reels. Fig. 19. Adjustment of turntable's driving chain. Adjustment of turntable's driving chain (Fig.
Cutting surfaces of a moving and stationary blade in the locked position (film is cut and being held) should adhere to each other. If necessary, adjust the pressure of these elements against each other using moving blade tensioning bolts. When the angle is too steep, the film is not cut even though the bale is unloaded to the ground.
The axis of the approaching wrapper should be perpendicular to the axis of a bale being loaded and the arm after lowering should grab the bale. Stop the tractor when the bale leans against the loading arm's area. Press Start/Stop to activate automatic bale loading (chapters 4.2.5 and 4.2.6). If you are not sure if the tilted bale lands correctly on the turntable, perform manual loading using the loading arm's control buttons.
While placed on the rotary table, the bale is rotated by a certain angle around its horizontal axis with every revolution around its vertical axis, which causes overlapping of consecutive layers of film resulting in a tight wrap around the bale. A correctly wrapped bale has at least 4 layers of film on cylindrical walls of bale with 50% overlap.

All working units should return to their home positions after completing bale unloading. Another bale may now be loaded. 6.5 Finishing work After finishing work, unplug the control panel and protect it against damage from falling or humidity.
