DescriptionoftheMachine
Theoperatorcanchoosefromthreedifferentautomaticdischargepatternsormanuallyeject
thebales.WiththePhiBerVerticalStackingAccumulatoryoucanselectthedesiredbale
packagingmodethatwillcomplementthepreferredmethodofbalehandlinginthefield.
Therearetwooptionsofcontrol:automaticunloadingandmanualunloading.Thebalescanbe
unloadedwhenstacksoftwo,threeorfourbaleshavebeencompleted.Ifabaleishalfwayout
ofthebaler,ormore,theaccumulatorwillnotallowmanualdumpinguntilthatbalehas
completeditscycle.Automaticunloadingisrecommended.RefertoISOBUSSoftwareformore
