Before Using the Machine for the first time
Before using the machine for the first time,carry out the following.
1.check the engine oil
Check whether or not a specified quantity of engine oil exists.if it is too
small,replenish the oil up filler port without screwing it,and measure. Add
oil to the top graduation line of the oil gauge.
As the oil, use the engine oil for motor vehicles with a viscosity
corresponding to the outside air temperature shown in the following
table
Oil Viscosity Selection Standard
If the engine oil declines in quality or quantity, a trouble of seizure can be caused,Use the oil with
quality of class SC or higher
In the case where the outside air temperature is lower than -20℃ or higher than 40℃,select the
oil with a viscosity and quality suitable for local condition
Note that if an oil of multi grade is used, the oil consumption tends to increase when the
air temperature is high
precaution

2. Check the quantity of fuel
Use lead-free gasoline for motor vehicles as the fuel
The tank capacity is about 1.5 liters.
For refueling, don’t fill up to the entrance of the fuel filler port,and keep the fuel level under the
predetermined limit line for refueling. If too much fuel is added,the fuel can bleed from fuel tank cap
dangerously
For refueling,be sure to use the fuel filter screen installed in the fuel filler port
If fire is brought close to the fuel filler port,a fire may break out.Never allow fire to approach it.During
refueling ,stop the engine
Entering a wrong fuel is dangerous. Conform once more whether or not the fuel is right
If you refuel the engine with a cigarette in your mouth or under a bare light bulb,the fuel may be
ignited to burn you,Do not refuel with fire nearby
If you refuel while the engine is still hot,the fuel may be ignited to burn you.Do not refuel while the
engine is still hot
After completion of refueling,firmly close the fuel cap,and perfectly wipe away the spilling
fuel.otherwise, a fire accident can be caused.

explanation of “2-3 List of oiling and greasing points.”
2.Inspection at start of engine
Before starting the engine,confirm that the start lever is set at “OFF position.” If the engine is started
with the start lever at “ON position,” the turn table will rotate to injure any person working nearby.
If the engine is started indoors as in a house, the exhaust gas may cause poisoning.Open windows
and door for sufficient ventilation.
Before starting the engine,let the persons working nearby know it and confirm safety.
1.Inspection at start of engine
（1）Confirm that the start lever is set at “OFF position.”
（2）Start the engine,and confirm whether or not the engine is normal
（3）Operate the start lever,to rotate the machine,and confirm whether or
not any abnormal sound or abnormal vibration occurs.
（4）
if any trouble is found,correct the trouble based on the “6-1 List trouble
corrections.”
3.List of oiling and greasing points
The oil used for lubrication or coating must be clean.
When greasing,do it till the new grease sufficiently when it is delivered.
However, confirm them before use.

3.How to operate
1.Purpose of machine
1.this machine is used to stretch and wind a film around a cylindrical bale for sealing it,to
prepare bale silage for livestock farming.Do not use the machine for any other application.
2.To prepare silage of good quality,do not operate the machine in the case where the
grass contains much water due to rainfall or dense fog,or on a muddy field or highly humid
field. Wrap the grass with an adequate water content on a well dry field as soon as
possible after baling.
1.Adjust the water content of grass to 50 to 60%.if the water content is too large or too small,ideal lactic
acid fermentation cannot take place.Especially during rainfall or dense fog,do not operate the machine
since the mater content is too large
2.Preparation of well-shaped highly dense bales.Make well-shaped highly dense bales
3.Sealing immediately after baling.If the sealing is delayed,the temperature inside the bale rises to grow
putrefying bacteria and to thermally denature proteins,thereby lowering the digestibility,not allowing
silage with good quality to be prepared.
4.Use a wrapping film with stable quality.A film like to greatly change in nature in response to the change
of air temperature may be poor in the accuracy of sealing.Preserve the film in a cool place free from
direct sunshine,to avoid the deterioration during preservation.Do not preserve the film for a long period of
time.
5.If the film used for sealing is damaged to have a hole,be sure to repair it.If a film is
damaged or holed by mistake,be sure to repair it.If an ordinary tape is used for repairing ,it
may peel due to water content,solar heat or the like.Use the repair film designated by us
6.Reliable preservation
As the place for preserving the silage,select a well drained place and cover the silage
with a net,or spray chemicals, or take any other necessary measure for protecting the
For perparing wrapped silage with good

11
silage from damage caused by birds,rodents,inserts,etc.
It is ideal to stack the wrapped bales vertically in two or three stages,for maintaining the
sealing accuracy and saving the preserving space.
The number of stages must be such that the stacked bales do not fall but remain stable
and safe.
7.All the unsealed bales should be consumed for feeding within the day.
If silage is exposed to air,secondary fermentation occurs to promote deterioration.
2.Adjustment for Operation
1.film loading
(1) Remove the beta pin and rollers of the stretching device portion,and set a
film.Then,insert a roller into the cylindrical hole at the top of the film,and fix using the beta
pin.
(2) Insert the film in such a manner that the winding direction observed from above
corresponds to counterclockwise direction.
（3）Pull out the film,and pass it through as illustrated,fastening it with the twine on
the bale side.

12
2.Adjust of side roller
(1) Place the bale to be wrapped,on the turn table alongside the side plate on the drive
side (drive chain side)
(2)Adjust the side roller for adaptation to the width of the bale,and fix using a bolt and nut.
When adjusting the side roller,keep a spacing of about 30 to about 50mm between the end face of
the bale and the side roller
After completion of adjustment,firmly tighten the bolt and the nut
3 Working procedure
The machine is portable and can be moved.It can be used even near a livestock yarn on a
field.
Do not handle a bale of more than 30kg on this machine.Furthermore,do not throw the bale onto the
turn table.Otherwise the machine may be damaged.
If you touch the turn table or the like during operation or rotation,you may be injured.Do not allow
persons working nearby to approach the machine
If an irregularly shaped bale or light-weight bale is going to be wrapped,it may be swung away to
injure any person working nearby.Do not wrap such a bale
If the machine is used indoors as in a house,the exhaust gas may cause poisoning.Open windows
and door for sufficient ventilation.

If you open any cover during operation or rotation,you may be caught by the rotating portion and
injured.Do not open any cover during operation or rotation.
If you touch the film or stretch roller while the film is wound,you may be caught and injured.Don’t
touch the film or stretch roller during operation.
If you adjust the machine or remove any deposited matter without stopping the engine,a third
person may carelessly and suddenly drive the machine,to cause an unexpected accident.Stop the
engine and confirm that rotating portion and moving portions are stationary,before you do such a
thing.
1.Number of turns of film
(!)Adjust the number of turns of film,depending on the situation.
For preserving the bale silage for a long period of time or for preparing bale silage with
good quality,wind the film in four or more lavers.
(2) Adjustment of film winding
The film winding can be adjusted to two-layer winding,four-layer winding or six layer
winding in 50% lapping.
Adjust as follows:
For two-layer winding in 50% lapping
Insert the beat pin into the “upper hole” of slide arm shaft portion of automatic stopping
device
For four-layer winding in 50% lapping.
Insert the beta pin into the “middle hole” of slide arm shaft portion of automatic stopping
device
For six-layer winding in 50% lapping
Insert the beta pin into the “lower hole” of slider arm shaft portion of automatic stopping
device.
