To do this: Secured tractor with parking brake.
Z245/1 RONAR HAPTER DANGER The support wheel must be in the transport position, that is, it must be fully raised. Danger of fingers crushing. Do not place your hands in the areas marked with the CAUTION mark (4.5). 4.5 LOADING Before loading the bale, make sure that the wrapper is properly connected to the tractor.
Page 72
Z245/ 1 HAPTER RONAR THE SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES Move the wrapper drawbar to the run position (if not already done). Remove the triangular warning plate. Rotate the turntable (4) to the bale loading position. The cutting unit should be at the rear of the wrapper.
Z245/1 RONAR HAPTER FIGURE 4.7 Bale Load Level 2 4.5.1 WRAPPING The wrapping film is fed automatically from the feeder and there is no need to leave the tractor cab to prepare for wrapping. The exception is the beginning of work or the case of foil breaking.

Z245/ 1 HAPTER RONAR FIGURE 4.8 Preparation to wrap the first bale (1), (2) information stickers WRAPPING OF THE BALE After the first bale is loaded, unwrap a portion of the film from the feeder and pass the end of the film through the bale twine. When another bale is wrapped, the end of the cut wrapping film is held by the cutter actuator until the bale is loaded.
Page 75
Z245/1 RONAR HAPTER The number of wraps is indicated by the rev counter, (detailed operation is described later in this chapter). Check the foil tension while wrapping and adjust the feeder if necessary. CAUTION Do not wrap bales other than those specified in this manual.
Page 76
Z245/ 1 HAPTER RONAR Determining the number of bales wraps correctly has a significant impact on the quality of silage. Film manufacturers recommend using the 2+2 system during wrapping (subsequent layers must be at least half the width of the previous belt – 50% of the foil placement). This method of wrapping is most optimal and will result in the bales being wrapped 4 times in each location.

Page 78
Z245/ 1 HAPTER RONAR Position the turntable so that the cutting system is in front of the wrapper and the table rollers are perpendicular to the frame rails of the wrapper. Start table tipping. The tipping is controlled by means of a lever marked with an information sticker (5).
Z245/1 RONAR HAPTER When the wrapped bale is relatively light, it may happen that the turntable starts to fall earlier than the arm of the unloading mechanism. Adjust the table drop rate using second hydraulic flow regulator. Normally, the regulator should be fully open (the regulator knob is fully open).

The most important guidelines for steering a tractor with a trailer attached are presented below.
Z245/1 RONAR HAPTER • In the event of a machine or tractor breakdown, stop at the side of the road without endangering other road users and mark the stopping place in accordance with traffic regulations. • When travelling on public roads, the wrapper must be marked with a slow-moving vehicle warning sign located in the handle of cutting unit.
Z245/ 1 HAPTER RONAR • Nut tightness should be checked after the first use of the wrapper, after the first day of operation and then every 6 months of use or after traveling 25,000 km, whichever comes first. In the event of intensive more, check the nut tightening at least every 10,000 kilometres.
Z245/1 RONAR HAPTER The L01 meter is powered by connecting a 9V battery The L02 is supplied with 12V voltage via the supplied cable, connected to the cigarette lighter socket. 4.9.2 OPERATION OF THE COUNTER The counter can be installed in the tractor in any position so that the display is clearly visible.
