QUICK START GUIDE
RB580
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 6 positions. Be sure that the position is
not over the height of the bale or under. (this part could have
been removed for shipping so be sure to install correctly for
wrapping bales)
Set the cone roller 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 on the bale counter and set.
1) Press the on button
2) You will have to set the counter.To do so you will hold the Adjust Select for 3
seconds.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 one
time 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 of the table that it took you to do this and multiply by 2 and 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.

Hook the machine to atractor to test it.
Attach the machine hoses to the tractor as
shown.Be sure that your tractor is adjusted
at aflow rate of 8GPM at 2000 PSI.
Once the bale counter is setup you can
start wrapping with the manual lever.
The manual lever can be installed in the
tractor with the extension cable, so you
can operate from the tractor.

The RB580 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 don’t cut or not completely you want to make sure the blade is
sharp and free of rust first.Then you can check if the trigger hit the plate at the right
time and adjust it if need be.

The RB580 is equipped with aloading arm that make it possible to load bale directly
onto the bale wrapper without using afrontal loader.The loading arm is sent with
extension cables to control the wrapper from the tractor seat.For loading abale, the
turntable must be parallel to the loading arm. The loading arm is equipped with a
safety device (1) to prevent collisions with the turntable and error operations. The
loading arm must be dropped halfway between the turntable and the ground so that
the table can rotate.Another safety device (2) is installed to insure that the tilting table
is down to be able to lift the arm.
The fork of the arm adjusts to different bale diameter.An adjustable backstop (3)
allows you to charge bales of 4or 5feet wide and filed on the center of the turntable.
When in transport mode you have asafety pin (4) to lock the arm up.
