1. EMERGENCY STOP — (Red Pushbutton)
Pressing the EMERGENCY STOP button will stop the machine immediately.
2. OFF-ON-AUTO — (Key Switch)
(a) Turn OFF-ON-AUTO switch to OFF position and remove key when not in use.
(b) Turn OFF-ON-AUTO switch to the ON position to operate baler with MANUAL
RAISE and MANUAL LOWER SWITCH.
(c) Turn OFF-ON-AUTO key switch to AUTO position and baler will start, platen will
traverse LOWER and return to the load position (one complete cycle).
3. PLATEN RAISE — PLATEN LOWER (Selector Switch)
Turn the switch to RAISE and hold to manually raise the platen. Turning the switch
to RAISE and holding will raise the platen, with the feed gate and bale door opened

MAINTENANCE
LOCK-OUT & TAG-OUT INSTRUCTIONS
2-1
Before entering any part of the baler, be sure that all sources
of energy have been shut off, all potential hazards have been
eliminated, and the baler is locked-out, and tagged-out in
accordance with OSHA, and ANSI requirements. Before
servicing the hydraulic system or the inside of the bale cham-
ber, the platen must be properly supported as shown on the
next page. The specific lock-out, and tag-out instructions
may vary from company to company (i.e. multiple locks may
be required, or other machinery may need to be locked-out,
and tagged-out). The following instructions are provided as
minimum guidelines.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move the disconnect handle to the OFF position. The disconnect switch is located
in the panel box of the machine.
2. Padlock the disconnect handle with a keyed padlock, and take the key with you.
(To insert the lock through the lock tab on the disconnect handle, pull the lock tab out
of the disconnect handle when the handle is in the OFF position.)
3. Along with the padlock, place an appropriate, highly visible, warning tag on the dis-
connect lever. The tag should provide a warning such as: “ Danger: Do not operate
equipment. Person working on equipment.” or “ Warning: Do not energize without the
permission of ________________________.”
4. After locking, and tagging the baler, try to start, and operate the baler (as outlined
in the Operating Instructions) to make sure the lock-out and tag-out is effective. If the
lock-out and tag-out is effective, remove the key from the key switch, and take it with
you.
ELECTRICAL: The panel box contains high volt-
age components. Only authorized service person-
nel should be allowed inside the box. Authorized
service personnel should be allowed inside the
box only after the baler has been locked-out, and
tagged-out.
HYDRAULIC: Stored hydraulic energy must be removed from the baler hydraulic cir-
cuit for complete lock-out, and tag-out. Make sure that this energy has been relieved
by manually pressing the solenoid valve pin located in the center of the coil end of
each valve.

MAINTENANCE
SUPPORTING OF PLATEN
2-2
WARNING: LOCK-OUT & TAG-OUT PRIOR TO ANY SERVICE OR REPAIR.
Before entering bale chamber for service, be sure that the platen is securely supported.
At a minimum, use two wooden 4” x 4” beams (good condition), fixed to fit securely in
each rear corner of the chamber while supporting the platen in the up position. The top
end of each beam should be in the extreme corner, while the bottom end should be po-
sitioned over the outer tie slot in the floor. See diagram below.
DANGER: DO NOT CLIMB ON SIDES OF BALER. USE A LADDER OR PLATFORM
WHEN WORKING ON TOP OF THE BALER OR OTHER AREAS OF THE BALER
THAT CANNOT BE REACHED FROM GROUND LEVEL.
DANGER: PARTS OF THE PLATEN EXTEND ABOVE THE TOP OF THE BALER
WHEN PLATEN IS FULLY RAISED.
Feed gate open, and
platen in raised position
4” x4” wood beams in
each corner

MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE & RECOMMENDED OIL
2-3
WARNING: BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE PROCE-
DURES ON THE BALER, MAKE SURE THE BALER IS LOCKED-OUT AND TAGGED-
OUT PER THE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 2-1. FOR MAINTENANCE INSIDE THE
BALE CHAMBER, SEE THE PLATEN CHOCKING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 2-2.
MONTHLY
1. Check external hoses for chafing, rubbing, leakage, or other deterioration, and dam-
age. Tighten all fittings as necessary. Check hydraulic cylinder, cylinder pin, and
bolts for signs of wear, and fatigue.
2. Check for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as operator obstructions, in baler
area.
3. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir.
4. Lubricate the door hinge, and turnbuckle with oil.
5. Check platen guides for wear.
6. Apply a light coating of all purpose grease in the track for the Feed Gate.
7. Apply a light application of all purpose oil to the latch of the Feed Gate.
ANNUALLY
1. Replace the hydraulic fluid. See Recommended Oil.
2. Clean the top of the power unit to remove the dirt build up.
ANNUAL FILTER MAINTENANCE
1. The hydraulic filter should be cleaned or replaced.
2. The filter may be removed from the power unit through the cleanout cover in the top
of the reservoir.
3. Care should be exercised in cleaning the filter to ensure that the element is not torn.
4. Clean the element with a soft brush, and standard industrial solvent.
5. Install filter after cleaning, and check fittings for tightness. Pump noise, and a
"crackle" sound is most often caused by air entering the pump suction line.
Tightening the suction fittings will usually eliminate the problem.
