Diagnostic procedure
The RBMPRO doesn’t
work when manually
moving the valve’s hand
levers
The RBMPRO’s functions
work when the valve
lever is engaged
manually, but not
through the Danfoss
Controller
Make sure that your Danfoss Controller is
powered on and properly connected to the
tractor. Be sure that the controller is properly
connected to the RBM trailer.
PROCEDURE REF# A-RBM-004
Cannot connect the
hydraulic hoses to
the tractor, they
seem pressurized,
and they will not
couple.
If an error is shown
on the Danfoss
controller click here.
(page 14)
If there is no error on
the controller there
may be a Security
Valve, Pressure
reducer valve or
Solenoid problem.
PROCEDURE REF# A-
RBM-007
The RBMPRO is equipped with a
« safety valve » that needs to be
powered on in order to allow oil flow
to circulate through the valve.
Model(s) : RBMPRO

Error “PT_LS”
appearing on
screen
Bale carrier
Diagnostic procedure
“PT_LS” sensor located underneath the frame of the machine is an
hydraulic pressure reader sensor. It provide information to the
computer about the internal hydraulic pressure.
Some hydraulic movement of the RBMPRO are free of proximity
sensor in order to read if the arm ias completed it’s movement.
Without proximity sensor to read the position, we therefore use the
internal pressure to provide back to the computer the information if
the cylinder as completed it’s cycle or not.
For example, when we open the loading arm grabber, as there is no
proximity sensor, the computer will engage the corresponding valve
section till the pressure reach 2500 PSI as per the factory setting,
which can be modified through the Danfoss touchscreen controller.
If you received the “PT_LS” error, it mean the RBMPRO could not built
the internal pressure high enough to meet the condition request by
the computer.

Error “PT_LS”
appearing on
screen
Bale carrier
Diagnostic procedure
Determining if the pressure built-in buy the tractor meeting working condition
requirement
Model(s) : RBMPRO
Bring the loading arm down, like if you are collecting bale seating vertically,
and hold physically the lever of the valve in order to build up pressure into the
hydraulic system. Take in note the pressure indicated on the monitor.
By default, the pressure on the
pressure gage should reach the
pressure of the relieve valve of the
main valve which is adjusted to 2800
PSI approximately.
Go into the “locked” menu through
the setting of the Dansfoss
touchscreen controller, and make
sure the value of the parameter
“Pression …” is set 250-300 PSI lower
than the maximum pressure readed
on the previous step. Standard
setting from factory is set at 2500 PSI
I’m not reaching 2800 PSI on the
pressure gage.
The tractor pump as lost it’s
efficiency overtime. Then take in
note the maximum pressure you
could built into the hydraulic
system

Top bale will not
sit on top of the
first row
Bale carrier
Diagnostic procedure
Once loaded, the top row bale rolls off and
drops on the loading platform, not allowing
more bales to be loaded
When loading the top row
bale, the bale starts rolling
away or stays stuck in the
grabber when releasing it.
If operating the
RBMPRO’s at a steep
angle while releasing
the bale, use the
« stand-by » mode to
put the loading phase
on hold. Move the
RBMPRO to a level
terrain in order to
resume the loading
sequence.
A-RBM-011
Avoid sharp turns, abrupt starts and
stops while hooked on the RBMPRO.
Use with caution on irregular or slanted
ground
TIP: Reduce space
between previous
bale stack and pusher
to keep the top bale
in place (LS_PO_M1
AND LS_PO_M2)
A-RBM-008
If you are collecting
bales sitting on their
round side, centering
the bales in the
loading arm before
initial contact is
crucial to insure
proper stability

signs are located on the
CURVED EDGE of the
bales
Click here to continue
Plastic torn or puncture
signs located on the

Loading
Excessive pick up speed causes
the bales to drag while grabbing
Make sure you are not exceeding
3km/h when the bale comes in
contact with the loading arm.
Unloading
Unsuitable surface to unload.
Find a smoother area where the
bales can be dropped off without
being damaged.

Model(s) : RBMPRO
During Loading
The bales show signs of damage
when dropped on the trailer
Bale carrier
Diagnostic procedure
The roller beds are set
too far apart for the
size of the bales,
therefore exposing the
bales to fall in between
the two beds where
there may be some
sharp edges exposed
A-RBM-016
Inspect for any sharp
edges inside the
loading arm grabber
Make sure you are not
exceeding 3km/h when
the bales make contact
with the loading arm.
When the loading arm
initially makes contact
with the bale, it should be
centered in the middle of
the bale. The bale must
not hit the sides of the
bale grabber as it could
cause some damage to the
curved edge if you collect
bales sitting vertically.
A-RBM-010
A-RBM-012

The in-motion loading
system’s rail touches the
bales previously loaded
when loading.
Inspect for any sharp
edges on the side rails or
damaged rollers that could
puncture the wrap
While sliding down the roller bed
The plastic seems to tear during its
transition from the front to the rear of
the platform
Bale carrier
Diagnostic procedure
14
The roller beds are
too close to each
other for the size of
the bales, therefore
squeezing them
between against
side rails and then
tearing the wrap
The roller beds are set too
wide for the bales size
settings. Make sure that your
bales dimension match the
computer settings, and that
your roller beds are set to
the required position
A-RBM-016
The conical roller
mounted on the loading
arm’s side of the trailer
and the one just ahead of
the side rail get in contact
with the bales, tearing
them apart
A-RBM-017

Model(s) : RBMPRO
During Unloading
No damage is seen before unloading,
however, damage is seen once unloaded on
the ground
Bale carrier
Diagnostic procedure
15
Bales are sliding when hitting
the ground during unloading
phase
When pushing the bales off of the platform, make sure to
compensate for the bales sliding backward, by slowly
moving forward with your tractor so that the bales drop
straight down while unloading.
If the ground’s condition doesn’t allow (too bumpy,
rocky) unloading on the round side, then load a
maximum of 14 bales and unload vertically on their flat
end
A-RBM-018
Inspect unloading platform for
sharp edges and observe the
unloading operation to
pinpoint the area causing the
tear

Computer issues (black or
flashing screen/red light
indicator is lit)
Bale carrier
Diagnostic procedure
The screen turns off (black or
flashing) and then back on again
going back to the main menu
The power supplied to the
Danfoss controller is too low.
Make sure the top right corner of
the controller screen shows a
minimum voltage of 12V. Below
that voltage, when engaging any
coil, the voltage will drop below a
critical point where the computer
loses communication, creating
this kind of issue
I have an error message
appearing on the controller
screen, and a red light indicator
is blinking on the controller
screen. Follow the prompts
from the computer. It will
show you where the fault is. If
needed replace the sensor in
question.

PROCEDURE REF# A-RBM-000
First use maintenance and guide to start up
General
Before using the trailer for the first time, we strongly recommend that
a full physical inspection and a first stationary manual operation
sequence, is completed in order to avoid any problems in the field (see
below for step by step).
First functions test
After the physical lookover has been done you can:
1. Use the hydraulic functions of the tractor and be sure everything
moves correctly
2. On the trailer move the manual levers of the main valve to be sure
that all functions work correctly. See (PROCEDURE REF# A-RBM-
002) for valve functions guide if needed.
3. On the Danfoss controller press the manual mode button and
engage each function remotely)
4. Enjoy! Go get some bales
First Maintenance after first use
After the first operation of the machine we also recommend a full
inspection of the machine to be certain of long life of the wear parts
and be sure there is no premature wear that could cause failure. This
step should be followed before putting the machine to use if it has
been pulled on public or private roads before operation.

Below configuration are necessary if the tractor pump is NOT load sensing (LS). However, when it is possible it is preferable
to run them with a load sensing tractor for lower oil temperature, and lower restriction when operating more than one
function. The RBMPRO2000 body valve can take up to 20 GPM (80L/min) but we recommend to adjust the flow at 14 GPM
(55L/min). The pressure requested will be in the range of 2900 PSI (200/210 BAR).
