No functions of
the RBMPRO work
Bale carrier
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”

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

Problem with
loading arm
Bale carrier
Diagnostic procedure
Loading arm is
dragging on the
ground
When collecting
bales that are sitting
horizontally on the
ground (bales are not
standing on their flat
side), the grabber is
not positioned
perpendicular to the
ground
The bales hit
the loading arm
but it wont pick
them up
automatically.

When the
grabber
releases the
bales on the
main deck, the
bales do not
roll
perpendicularly
to the trailer
main axis

Adjust the loading arm’s
« initial » angle to the
ground through the
Danfoss controller until
the clearance to the
ground is sufficient

Model(s) : RBMPRO
The bales hit the loading
arm trigger but it won’t pick
them up automatically.
Bale carrier
Diagnostic procedure
Make sure the
“automatic loading”
mode is engaged on
the controller
The « qty of bales »
shown on the
controller screen says
that the RBMPRO is
fully loaded, but it is
not.
Inspect the sensor
behind the « triggering
plate » of the loading
arm. (LS_BA)
A-RBM-013
The controller did not
recognize that the bales
have been dumped from
the previous load. Reset
the controller Manually

Diagnostic procedure

When the grabber releases the bales
on the main deck, the bales do not
roll well to the opposite side (far side
from the loading arm)
Bales are picked up
vertically
Bales are picked up
horizontally
When picking up the bales
on their side you have to
center them in the
grabber
A-RBM-010
Ensure that the bales are entirely in the grabber
and not just pinched by it. Verify loading
settings in the Danfoss control to set the arm in
the correct initial position for picking up bales
on the flat side
