The bale wrapper comes complete with the basic equipment listed below:
• Instrucons Manual,
• Spare parts catalogue,
• Warranty Cercate.
The bale wrapper is a welded construcon consisng of frames built from steel proles and interconnected with pins or
bolts. The boom frame to which the unbraked running axle is bolted is the base which is coupled using the drawbar with
the tractor. The loading arm hereinaer referred to as a bale li is posioned along the right-hand edge of the machine
and performs the loading movement of the crop. The rotary frame is the base for the table rollers which drive the rotaon
of the bale around its two axes of rotaon. The turntable slide base underneath the rotary frame, pinned to the boom
frame, is to unload bales by a hinged lt to the rear of the machine, where the bale pper captures them and posions
them with precision as required. In the front part of the bale wrapper, there is a lm dispenser on a post, adapted to un-
wind 20.00” or 30.00” wide lm. A lm cut and hold is mounted on the side of the rotary frame to cut o and hold the lm
for subsequent cycles automacally.
The basic version of the machine oers three operang modes:
• Auto mode,
• Semi-auto mode,
• Manual mode.
This is enabled with a control system connected to the hydraulic system driving machine movements. The hydraulic system
is protected by an oil lter mounted on the le-hand side of the drawbar mounng frame. The electrical system is ed
with a 10 A fuse in the top secon of the control unit to protect the controller.
