Congratulations on your purchase of a PTR Baler.
PTR is known for producing balers with the highest safety and quality standards
in the industry.
All PTR Balers are factory tested and receive a vigorous quality assurance
inspection to insure top performance and safety in the field.
Many of the advanced design features on our balers make operation easy
without sacrificing safety.
At PTR Baler and ompactor, operator safety is our number one priority. We
ask that all operators read and fully understand this manual and view the
provided safety/operational video. All baler operators must be at least 18 years
old.

***IMPORTANT***
A. The operating keys are located inside of the control panel. A tool is
re uired to open the control box and only trained and authorized
service personnel should enter following proper lockout/tagout
procedures.
B. When power has been properly connected, press the Down/Up button
and observe the direction of the rotation of the motor. Look at the
motor fan, proper rotation is clockwise. (As indicated by arrow on
motor). If fan rotation is not clockwise, follow lock out/tag out
procedures and interchange any two of the three power conductors, re-
check for proper rotation. This should correct the problem.

Baler Safety and Training Outline
I. Scope - Employers should designate a Safety/Risk Manager or equivalent person that has
qualifications necessary to evaluate and manage safety and operational training issues related to the
operation of baling equipment as part of their operator safety and training program. Each individual
baler owner should develop their own training program specific to their equipment, personnel,
processes, environment, and unique site application.
A. Your company safety official should conducted a hazard assessment of the various
baling equipment utilized at your facility and use the information from the hazard
assessment to develop a company specific baler safety training program. The
hazard assessment should include at a minimum the following:
1) Identification of material being baled. (clean cardboard only)
2) Hazards associated with the baling equipment and material baled.
3) An initial and then periodic review of the capabilities, qualifications, and
training of any person who may potentially encounter the identified hazards.
B. Your company safety official should evaluated the means and methods of controlling the hazards
identified in the hazard assessment; including information such as industry and regulatory
requirements, instructions for the operation, inspection and maintenance of balers, and other
information appropriate to the identified hazards.
1) Your company safety official should ensure compliance with applicable OSHA Code of
Federal Regulations under 29 CFR 1910 and applicable ANSI baling equipment
standards under ANSI Z245.5 and Z245.51.
2) Your company safety official should ensure that all employees (including supervisors)
engaged in the operation, cleaning, maintenance, service, or repair of the baling
equipment are properly trained according to their assigned jobs or tasks. The Baler
Safety Video supplied by PTR should be shown to all potential operators and the
manual should be read thoroughly.
3) Contractors should not be permitted to operate in-house baling equipment unless they
have been properly trained and authorized.
C. As a leading baler manufacture we recommend that your company utilizes the following baler
safety training outline and baler safety video which cover the following:
1) Pre-start up
2) Operation –(operation procedures are also posted on front of control box)
3) Safe bale ejection
4) Inspection / maintenance (see baler safety inspection checklist included in this manual)
5) Operator Safety / Prohibited practices
6) Training requirements (necessary training as identified from hazard assessment and use
of baler safety video.
7) Record keeping –(see Attachment A)
D. Your company safety official should periodically review their company specific program to
ensure the effectiveness of your safety program and make revisions as necessary.

Heed & Obey Warning Signs
Signs such as Danger, Caution, Warning, and Attention are on the machine for your protection.
Warning signs must remain in place and be kept in readable condition. Report and replace all
damaged or missing warning signs.
Operational carelessness and safety shortcuts can cause serious injury or death! Follow safety
Guidelines and be safety conscious.
Every operator should read operators manual and the operating instructions posted on the front of the
control box.
The operating key should not be left in the machine when the machine is left unattended.
Prior to Start Up
1. Wear proper safety equipment as recommended by your company safety official.
2. Never allow yourself or anyone involved with the baling system to be under the influence intoxicants or
narcotics while the baler is operating.
3. Walk around the baling system to check for proper equipment condition. Open hopper door and check
inside the baler.
4. Be positive no one is working on the baler or adjoining equipment. With ram in up position, lift gate and
look inside main chamber area to be sure no one is inside.
5. The following operational check should be conducted prior to each shift:
·With the gate raised, press all buttons in any order or combination. No motion should occur.
·Close gate and start machine, open gate during downward motion. Machine should immediately
stop.
·Close gate and start machine. Gate will automatically open with upward ram travel. During this
time, raise the gate off the ram. Machine should immediately stop.
·Demonstrate that the machine will not operate in “automatic” if the main bale door is open.
Operator should do this by having the ram in the up position and with the gate closed set the selector
switch to down and push. Release the button and the ram should stop.
6. It is imperative that proper housekeeping is performed in the area behind and around the baler.
·The areas behind the baler must be kept clean and free of debris, pallets and any other material.
·PTR recommends that this area be inspected daily to maintain the safe operation of vertical
balers.
·Bale wire stored in the area of the baler must be stored in an approved horizontal storage system.
7. If anything does not function as indicated, immediately report
problems to supervisor, remove key, lockout machine, and call for
service.

Operator Safety
Always Use Lockout/Tagout
Power must always be disconnected and locked out before working within or performing maintenance
on the baler or associated equipment. Standard Lockout/Tagout procedures should be followed in
accordance with the OSHA standard 1910.147 “The control of hazardous energy”.
A group safety lock should be used when multiple employees are working on the machine at one time so
that all locks need to be removed in order to be able to re-energize the baler. Every employee who
works on or with the baler should have his own lock and key. Never assume you are protected by
another employee’s safety lock.
Keep Safety Guards in Place
Safety guards must be kept in place and secure at all times. Keep the guards in good repair with
periodic maintenance. Keep limit switches free of debris or obstructions. Do not override of
bypass safety switches or features.
If feed gate becomes difficult to open or close, maintenance should be informed.
Operators should be instructed on how to conduct a brief visual safety inspection that includes areas
door hinges and latch. Also how to conduct a visual inspection of the ejector chains, t-hooks, and
shackles. Operator should know that maintenance should be called if there is any evidence of
damage or if anything looks “different” as opposed to prior inspections.
Practice Fire Prevention
·Keep fire extinguishers accessible at all times. Use the extinguisher recommended for the
material being baled. It should be rated safe for use of electrical fires.
·Never smoke close to combustible material.
·Clean the area before welding or other repair activities that produce sparks or source of ignition.
·Keep tank and motor areas free of oil, dust, or paper accumulations.
Keep a Clean Machine
1. Bale only clean cardboard.
2. Clean motor area monthly.
3. Remove any wedged cardboard from sides and back of ram. Remove any cardboard on the top of the ram
daily.
4. Remove any cardboard stuck on retainer dogs and limit switches.
5. Keep baler clean and free of dirt and other contaminants. Failure to do so may cause illness or death.
6. The areas behind the baler must be kept clean and free of debris, pallets and any other material.
7. PTR recommends that the area behind the baler be inspected daily to maintain the safe operation of vertical
balers.
Remember! All possible Dangers cannot be predicted. Your own safety
attitude and habits are your best protection.

Additional Safety Guidelines for Baler Operation
1. Only authorized personnel 18 years of age or older, who are trained in baler operation are
permitted to operate the baler.
2. The owner and operator are responsible for the safety of the employees and should be familiar
with applicable OSHA and ANSI standards.
3. Operate in accordance with the owner’s manual supplied with your baler.
4. Do not set the hydraulic pressure above factory specs. Specified pressures are listed inside the
control box. Severe baler damage and/or personal injury could result.
5. Bale only the specified material for which the baler was built. And also for which the hazard
assessment was conducted for.
6. Never overload the baler chamber.
7. Never enter the main chamber area unless the power is disconnected and locked out.
8. If work on or in the baler is required, disconnect the power to the baler, and lockout. Never
assume that you are protected by another employee’s safety lock. Before restarting, repeat the
“Prior to Start Up” procedures.
9. Anytime the baler is shut down, the “Prior to Start up” procedures should be repeated.
10. Never bale aerosol cans or containers filled with liquid.
11. Use of safety glasses and forearm length leather gloves are strongly recommended when
handling baling wire.
12. The areas behind the baler must be kept clean and free of debris, pallets and any other material.
13. PTR recommends that the area behind the baler be inspected daily to maintain the safe
operation of vertical balers.
14. Bale wire stored in the area behind of the baler must be stored in an approved horizontal
storage system.

BALER MODES
There are three basic modes of operation a downstroke vertical baler will perform
–loading, compression, and ejection.
LOADING
Material is evenly loaded into the baler chamber while the safety charging gate and
ram are in the UP position. The baler chamber door is closed and locked.
COMPRESSION
With the safety gate down, the ram pushes the material down into the bottom of the
baler chamber area. Retainer Dogs located on baler chamber door help hold the
compressed material down while the ram travels up to the loading position,
opening the baler safety charging gate as it travels up.
EJECTION
When full bale indicator arrows on the ram face and baler frame match, the bale is
the proper size. Lift gate, unlatch and open chamber door at least 110 degrees,
slide baling wire through slots and tie off all wires.
Close feed gate by pulling it down completely.
Attach the ejector “T” hooks at back of baler to ram ejector lugs, set the
UP/DOWN switch located on baler electrical box to the UP position, press and
hold button in until the bale ejects. Keep clear of ejecting bale.

Minimum of 14 Ga galvanized steel wire approximately 14’ long with one end looped for bale
tie off.
Wire is to have a tensile strength of approximately 70,000 to 85,000 psi or more and a break
strength of approximately 380 to 420 pounds or more.
MODELS: 360, 420
Minimum of 15 Ga galvanized steel wire approximately 9’ long with one end looped for bale tie
off.
Wire is to have a tensile strength of approximately 75,000 to 80,952 psi or more and a break
strength of approximately 300 to 340 pounds or more.
MODELS: 5000HD, 7200HD
Minimum of 12 Ga galvanized steel wire approximately 16’ long with one end looped for bale
tie off.
Wire is to have a tensile strength of approximately 70,588 to 76,136 psi or more and a break
strength of approximately 600 to 670 pounds or more.
Additional Information:
At least four baling wires must be used per bale. Slots are available for five or more bailing
wires to be used.
Care should be exercised when handling any potentially sharp objects such as bailing wire.
Follow appropriate precautions and procedures.
Always stand clear of ejecting bale.
Baling wire recommendation is based on industry standard and past history of success with this
wire in a wide variety of customer environments and usages of balers and other vertical balers
with comparable compression yielding bales of comparable size and weight.
