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, and a gasoline engine (optional) and all these elements can cause serious injury to humans or animals, it is strongly recommended to read and to closely adhere to the following guidelines.
Fuel Gasoline is a very flammable substance which must be handled with care in an approved container when you fill the engine tank of your hydraulic unit. Put back in place and firmly tighten the tank cap and wipe away any spilled fuel. Never add gasoline when the engine is hot or operating.
End of Operation If you will not use the bale wrapper again for a long 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...
3 General Characteristics and Specifications Congratulations! You are now the owner of an ANDERSON bale wrapper, a high-quality machine designed for the separate outdoor storage of round bales of up to 5 feet (1.5m) in diameter. This agricultural machine is carefully manufactured by our company to give you many years of reliable performance.
Standard Components Your individual 580 bale wrapper is a stationary type, though it can also be towed because it is equipped with a sturdy axle system. The table is rotated by a hydraulic engine and gears. The table’s rollers are driven by two toothed wheels and chains. The plastic film stretcher with two 30-inch-long aluminium rollers stretches the film to obtain a hermetic wrapping, in addition to reducing wrapping costs and operating time.
4 Adjustment Procedures 4.1 580 Preparation and Adjustment Verifications Before Each Use Check the hydraulic oil level in the tank of your unit if your bale wrapper is equipped with this option. Check the oil level in the Honda engine, if applicable, as well as the need for fuel. Open the fuel valve and check the engine air filter.
Follow the diagram (Figure 4.2) to unroll the start of the film between the rubber roller and an aluminium roller, then around the other aluminium roller. The edge of the plastic must be attached onto the ties or the net of the first bale. Figure 4.2 Direction of film unwinding Precaution: Avoid leaving the plastic film rolls in the sun for a long period of time before using them.
The module consists of a 2-line screen with 4 buttons beneath it. Start up the counter by touching the ON/OFF button on the left. This opens the first Anderson window. Five seconds later, the screen will look as follows: - In the upper left corner of this window, rev: 00 will count each wrapping as you operate the bale wrapper.
Operation Menu of the IG-C3 Bale Counter - If you press the ER. COUNT. DAY. button, the screen will ask you to confirm NO or YES + whether you really want to erase the daily counter. - Similarly, the .ER. COUNT. REV. button allows you to reset the revolution counter to zero during a test or during a missed cycle.
Levers Once the table’s latch has been removed, use the levers to lower the rear (1) and front (2) stabilizers (Figure 5.2) if applicable. Depending on the hardness of the ground, it is possible that after a dozen bales you will have to manually readjust the stabilizers to solidify your machine or keep it properly horizontal.
5.4 580 Bale Wrapping: Adjusting the Sensors Adjusting the Rotation Counter Sensor Place the 2 parts of the sensor at position 1 so that they face each other, turning the table by pulling the control valve lever, and adjust the distance between them to 1/8 inch (2.5 mm)(Figure 5.3) Figure 5.3 Rotation counter sensor...
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...

Other Lubrication Points The power transmission chains and other moving parts of the machine must be oiled or greased regularly or every 50 hours. This also applies to the 2 toothed wheels of the plastic film stretcher. Figure 6.2 Lubricating the plastic film stretcher Figure 6.3 Lubricating the chain (through the hole in the guard)
Figure 6.4 Lubricating the plastic film cutter 1 Figure 6.5 Lubricating the plastic film cutter 2 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.
Storage If you will not use the bale wrapper again for a long period of time, do not forget to close the engine fuel valve to prevent the fuel from seeping into the engine oil. When the machine is not used for a long period of time, remove the battery from the bale counter.
7 Troubleshooting: Problems and Solutions Before calling a technician, examine your machine and consult the table below to find a solution. If you are still not able to solve the problem yourself, ask for help from the customer service department of your agricultural dealer. Troubleshooting Table Problems Possible Causes...
Fuse Figure 7.1 Starter fuse Adjusting the Mechanical Plastic Film Cutter -First, check the condition of the steel blade (1) and replace it as needed (Figure 7.2). -Increase the force of the stopper spring as needed. Move the bolt (1) holding the spring in a hole, thereby making it possible to further compress the spring (Figure 7.3).
8 Optional Equipment Hydraulic Unit The 580 bale wrapper can function with your tractor’s hydraulic system or with an optional independent hydraulic unit which includes: - A 13 horsepower Honda gasoline engine; - A pump adapter and a hydraulic pump; - A hydraulic oil tank with oil filter and strainer.
Bale Loading Arm and Film Roll Support As an option, a loading arm can be installed on the bale wrapper only at Anderson manufacture. This arm makes it possible to load bales directly onto the bale wrapper without a frontal loader.
Bale Unloading Platform 1- Unloading Ramp (D) Figure 8.4 Bale unloading platform D This optional unloading ramp makes it possible to gently discharge wrapped bales behind the bale wrapper. This system is composed of a rigid platform, a hydraulic cylinder, and a maintenance-free nitrogen cylinder.
This optional equipment makes it possible to bring the bales to a vertical position and set them down on the flat side. This option includes a retaining bar, a foot, an adjustable attachment, a support roller, and a turntable. The operator need only position the support roller (1) behind the turntable, install the adjustable attachment (2) between the platform (3) and the foot (4).
Start-Up Procedures When you receive your new ANDERSON equipment: Read the safety instructions in the manual. In case the performance of the machine does not correspond with the description below, refer to the corresponding section in your manual (see table of contents). For an emergency stop: turn the switch key to stop the engine of the hydraulic unit.
