QUICK START GUIDE
RB500
When the machine is to be delivered to the user there are steps you must follow to be sure they are
comfortable with wrapping their first bale. These steps are also important if you are doing a live demo.
Setup is very important to bale size as this machine is not set to a specific bale at the factory.
1) Know your bale size before you start. Asking can help but an actual measurement of
the bale is sometimes necessary.
2) Be sure that everything is greased (if left for more than 3 months outside without use
the machine needs to be fully greased and oiled.
3) Your bale counter is charged and tested operational (see user manual on machine for
functions).
The stretcher pole has 3 positions. Be sure that the position is
not over the height of the bale or under it. (This part is normally
removed for shipping so be sure to install it correctly to wrap
your bales)
Set the cone rollers for 4 or 5 foot
long bale.
Put plastic in the
stretcher. There is only
one way to put the plastic
through. See the diagram
to the left. This is a
sticker found on the
machine as well.

Turn the bale counter ON and set it up.
1) Press the ON button
2) You will have to set the counter up.To do so you will hold the Adjust Select for
3seconds.You can then scroll through 4menus with the same button (adjust
select)
3) Use the +and –to change the values of the menu.
4) When wrapping you will hear abuzzer from the counter on the last turn so
that you know when to stop turning the table.The number will automatically
reset once the sequence is finished.
Quick reference for correct plastic layers:
The way that we calculate the amount of plastic to apply on a bale is simple. You wrap the bale manually
once with only one layer of plastic. You do not want to see any part of the bale when you are finished. You
take the number of turns it took the table to do so and multiply it by 2 and then add one extra layer (or turn).
EX: 10 turns to completely cover the bale x 2 = 20. plus one layer = 21. This is the number you want to
program in your bale counter with.

The RB500 is equipped with amechanical cut and hold system.The mechanical cut and
hold works on arack and pinion system that stretches alarge spring as the table turns.
The trigger for the release of the system is under the table and is activated as the table
dumps.If the plastic isn’t cut or not completely cut you want to make sure the blade is
sharp and free of rust first.Then you can check if the trigger hits the plate at the right
time and adjust it if need be.
