2Safety
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 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.
Safe Operators
Be familiar with operating procedures before using your ANDERSON bale wrapper. Also insist
that these directions be followed by all who use your bale wrapper. Make sure that your
operators know the emergency telephone numbers and the location of your first aid kit. Only
allow the bale wrapper to be used by responsible people who have been fully trained in its safe
operation.
Danger Zone
Do not allow yourself to be disturbed during the installation or the operation of the machine. As
an operator, you must be the only person to move about the machine within a security zone of
5 meters (16 feet) diameter and mainly at the back of the machine. Keep all other people,
especially children, away from the site, as well as domestic animals.
Secure Attachment to the Tractor
The machine must be properly attached to the fixed drawbar of the tractor so that the bale
wrapper is positioned as high as possible. To increase the stability of the bale wrapper, choose
a flat and level ground and use the stabilizers, if you have that option.
Dangerous Situations
Pay attention to the stickers and the warning labels that appear on your machine. Know how to
make an hydraulic stop. Before starting the engine, make sure that all controls are in neutral
position. It is always dangerous to stand on the machine. Keep fingers, hands, and feet away
from moving parts: chains, gears, etc.
Prevention
The clothes that you wear as an operator must be safe. Avoid wide sleeves and pants, scarves,
and shirt or coat sleeves that could become stuck in the moving parts of the machine.
Additionally, wear adequate hearing protection to reduce the danger of hearing loss due to
continued exposure to the noise of the bale wrapper. Also use an approved mask in dusty
conditions. If you work in the evening or at night, make sure that you have sufficient lighting to
work safely. Have a working fire extinguisher within arm’s reach. Keep the protective shields
and other security devices in place and never use your bale wrapper if they have been removed
or damaged.
Safe Maintenance and Repair
On a regular basis, or at least every 500 bales, remove hay, straw, and any other flammable
material from around the engine. Stop the engine to perform adjustments, repairs, and
maintenance and to transport the bale wrapper. Do not work underneath the machine without
having first blocked the wheels with chocks. Replace any defective or worn out parts.
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. Have a working fire extinguisher within arm’s reach near the baling site.

14
Hydraulic Oil
Any leak of pressurized oil can cause serious injuries. Do not use your hands to locate a leak,
but rather an object such as a piece of cardboard. Stop the engine and release the pressure
before disconnecting or reconnecting the lines. Firmly tighten all connections before restarting
the engine or reapplying hydraulic pressure.
WARNING
Any hydraulic fluid that makes contact on or underneath the skin must be
removed within hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury. Without
intervention, serious problems, including gangrene, may result.
Traveling Safely on Public Roads
If you travel on public roads, you are responsible for respecting the identification and lighting
regulations of your region. We recommend that you always attach a security chain to the hitch
point between the machine and your tractor and that you lock the coupling link with a pin.
End of Operation
At the end of each day’s work and especially 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 2.1).
Figure 2.1 Closing the fuel valve
!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!
Before to perform any maintenance and repair operation on
your machine, you should turn off the engine and remove the
ignition key. The ignition key must be stored inside the
plastic box located on the side of the wrapper. A lock must
secure the plastic box.

4Moving the Bale Wrapper
Short Distances
Your bale wrapper can be moved very short distances using its own traction. Start the engine
and use the hydraulic control levers (Figure 4.1). According to the options available on your
bale wrapper, there are 4 ways to start the HONDA engine: manual ignition, electronic ignition
with key, electronic ignition with remote control, and electronic ignition using the same remote
control as for remote steering.
Figure 4.1 Controls
When the pusher is in the rear position, it holds the engine throttle lever in “slow” position. To
switch to moving mode, move the lever of the selection valve to “moving” (Figure 4.1). Place
the throttle lever in “high speed” position by removing the ring pin from the throttle lever
(Figure 4.2). Use the “front wheel drive” lever to control the movement of the bale wrapper and
the “direction” lever to control its direction (Figure 4.1). Finally, once you are done moving your
bale wrapper, do not forget to put the ring pin back in the throttle lever (Figure 4.2).
Figure 4.2 Engine throttle lever
Pin

17
Medium Distances
Your machine can be moved short and medium distances behind a tractor or truck. Use the
hydraulic jack to raise the front of the bale wrapper and install the draw bar (Figure 4.3).
Attach the machine and attach a security chain to the ring provided for this purpose on the
draw bar. The front wheels of the machine should not touch the ground during transportation.
You can invert the draw bar if the wheels are too close to the ground. Closely align the rear
wheels using the indicator decal and the needle gauge (Figure 4.4). On public roads, follow the
traffic regulations of your region for agricultural machines.
Figure 4.3 Draw bar
Figure 4.4 Indicator decal
Safety Measures
Regardless of how you transport your bale wrapper, do not let anyone stand on the machine.
Whenever you move the machine (except by its own traction), it is essential to close the fuel
valve because the gasoline could leak into the engine cylinder and base and flood it.

5Advice for Producing High-Quality Wrapped Fodder
Why Make Fodder Silage?
Briefly, the purpose of producing fodder silage is to conserve the fodder in an optimal nutritive
and appetizing state. This is achieved through airless fermentation (anaerobic) of some of the
sugars (carbohydrates), which are gradually transformed into organic acids through bacterial
activity. Making good fodder silage requires two starting conditions. First, the plants must have
attained a good sugar level while growing. Second, once the plants have been cut, the humidity
must have decreased to an adequate level. Once these two conditions have been achieved, all
you have to do to obtain high-quality fodder silage is to wrap them in airtight plastic.
Why Make Fodder Silage with Round Bales?
The main advantage of baling large round or square bales is to allow for easy, flexible, and
economical management of your harvest based upon the different types of livestock you have
to feed. Pairing the steps of baling and silaging in large bales creates a number of clear
advantages for harvesting feed crops:
♣Maximal nutritional value,
♣Highly flavorful fodder,
♣Food is preserved in good condition for a long period of time,
♣Fewer losses in the field, minimal rejection and loss of food,
♣Less dependence upon variable weather conditions during the harvest,
♣Easy handling with machines,
♣No investment in buildings and minimal investment in machinery,
♣Easy to use in conjunction with computerized feeding programs, etc.
Why Make Continuous Round Bale Fodder Silage?
Several cost studies have demonstrated that after a certain number of bales, plastic films costs
when performing continuous bale wrapping are up to 40% less than for individual bale
wrapping or bagging, all while creating the same airtight conditions necessary for high-quality
silage. The savings that the ANDERSON bale wrapper will produce is an important addition to
all the advantages mentioned above.
When Is the Best Time to Harvest?
Naturally, you should harvest the plants that have the best nutritive value to begin with! It is
important to know that, though productivity increases with plant maturity, quality decreases.
We know that feed crops must be cut when they contain their highest levels of sugar so as to
ferment properly and when they contain an optimal amount of protein in order to maximize
their nutritional value. This corresponds to the vegetative stage, or the beginning of ear
emergence just before maturity, for grasses (timothy grass, millet, brome grass, orchard grass,
etc.) and 10% flowering for legumes (alfalfa, red or white clover, lotus, etc.)…
Excessively mature fodder has a higher fiber content, but when it is placed in silage, it tends to
become moldy after several months. On the other hand, in addition to producing highly
flavorful food, early harvest allows for a quick return to the growth stage and decreases the
time until the 2nd and 3rd harvests.
Good methods for harvesting and, if necessary, for curing and turning hay, are also important
in order to obtain a high-quality product. Large, regular field crops produce bales that are more
solid and uniform. It is also important to avoid contaminating the fodder with soil, manure, or
residues from previous harvests.
