PROCEDURE REF# A-TRB-001
If you are not able to activate the functions of the joystick, check if
there’s a steady light on the controller. This light, located on the
bottom of the grey box (photo 1), indicates a power supply to the
controller. If you see a steady light, check the connections of the
valve A-TRB-002 Verification of the valve connections.

If you are not able to activate one or many functions of the joystick, check
if the valve received a signal from the controller. When you activate a
function, there’s a light on the valve (Photo 1). The blue connector is for
the pusher, the brown is for the loading arm and the yellow is the arm’s
extension. If you see a light and nothing seems to work: A-TRB-003
Verification of the spool. If there’s no light and the controller is working
fine, check if the power is going to the vale (use a voltmeter). If the test is
positive, check the adjustment of the limit switch A-TRB-005 Adjustment
of the limit switch or replace the valve. The problem could also come
from the joystick or the wiring.

PROCEDURE REF# A-TRB-002

TRB2000 with joystick only

If you can see a light on the valve but no functions are
working, the spool must be jammed in the valve. You can try
to unjam it by pushing the spool with a screwdriver while you
activate the function with the joystick (Photo 1). If it doesn’t
work, the valve is probably defective.

Remove the locking pin of the loading arm
PROCEDURE REF# A-TRB-004
If the loading arm cannot be activated, you may have to remove
the locking pin. Do not forget to store the pin in its storage place,
so you avoid to lose it. The pin is different from one model to
another, the photo below has been taken from a TRB2000.

Adjustment of the limit switch
PROCEDURE REF# A-TRB-005
A limit switch is installed close to the pivot of the loading arm. A welded
cam on the arm varies the position of the device which tells the controller
the position at which the arm is (less than 45 ° or more 45 °) (see picture 1).
It is impossible to activate the extension of the arm when it is less than 45 °
from the ground. Conversely, it is not possible to advance the plunger when
the arm is more than 45 ° from the ground. Furthermore, a pressure limiter
(see picture 2) is used to prevent it does not fall to less than 45 ° so that the
extension is not completely returned to its initial position.
It is therefore essential that the adjustment device is checked occasionally.
Photo 3 shows the perfect fit when the cam is in contact with the small arm.
The only possible adjustment is to advance or retreat the limit switch.
IMPORTANT: If installed too close it is possible to break it. If it’s the little arm
that is broken, it is possible to continue to collect bales. But, it will not be
possible to use the extension of the arm. If this is the switch that is faulty,
the joystick functions cannot be activated.
NOTE:. The same symptoms appear when the pressure limiter is defective.
Prior to replacement of one or the other of these components, verify
procedures: A-TRB-001 Verification of computer A-TRB-002 Verification of
valve connections A-TRB-003 Verification of spool.

Verification of the diverter valve
PROCEDURE REF# A-TRB-007
A diverter valve is installed on the trailer to prevent the unloading table and
the pusher ( TRB2000 the unloading table only) to be activated when the
arm is over 45 ° from the ground. A welded cam on the arm varies the
position of the diverter valve. It is possible that the valve will jam in the
closed position. It will need to be unjammed or replaced.

To unload the trailer TRB, it is very important to choose a level ground and
ensure there are no obstacles such as electric power or telephone lines.
Bring the trailer to a complete stop where you want to unload the bales. Turn
the control to raise the platform. Remember that the loading arm must be
lower than 45 ° from the ground so that you can lift the unloading platform.
When the platform is lifted to its maximum position, slowly move forward to
unload the bales on the ground.
When all the bales are unloaded, put the platform in a horizontal position and
the trailer is ready for loading new bales.
If the bales do not slide well, it is likely that the bale guides are improperly
adjusted or the bales stick to the paint. If this is the case, the paint should fade
after 2 or 3 loads.

PROCEDURE REF# A-TRB-008

Adjustment of the stroke limiter
PROCEDURE REF# A-TRB-009
The pusher of the trailer TRB has a stroke limiter which allows
loading 1.2m bales (4 ft) or 1.5 m (5 ft) in length (see Figure 4.4). The
picture # 1 shows the position of the stroke limiter when carrying
1.2m bales (4 ft) long and the picture # 2 shows the positioning of the
stroke limiter for transporting bales 1.5m (5 ft) length. To remove the
stroke limiter, you must remove the pin located below the stroke
limiter.
