Mandatory safety
shutdown procedure
Safety reminders
02

Do not allow minors and any unqualified trained personnel to operate or be near the unit unless properly supervised!
Do not allow anyone to ride on the unit at anytime!
Never leave the unit running unattended! Whenever the bagger if the is working, tractor should not be left unattended so that
PTO shaft can be stopped in the event of an unforeseen situation.
Always wear appropriate personal safety gear as called for by the job or working conditions!
Never wear loose clothing while working around moving parts.
Always be aware of pinch point areas on the unit!
Always keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Stop and disengage PTO and shut off tractor before doing any adjusting or servicing to unit.
Never step on or over PTO drive-line at any time.
Always use appropriate personal protection equipment (gloves, head and eye protection gear) when doing maintenance work.
Never stand in front of the wheels when disengaging brakes as the bagger can start forward unexpectedly due to rain pressure
inside the bag. This sudden movement can imperil anyone in the machine's path.
Decals with safety indications and warnings should be strictly heeded, kept in good condition and replaced if necessary.
Follow a regular maintenance program.
DO NOT pull the unit without having safety chains attached to the tractor.
Do not have anyone stand in front, behind, or along side of the machine when machine is running.
Always use a hitch pin with a retaining clip!
Check wheel bolts regularly and tighten them as required.
Check recommended tire pressures of 50 PSI.
Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Make sure all guards are in place before using the bagger.
Replace any parts which show signs of excessive wear, cracking, or likelihood of failure, with original equipment service parts.
Be familiar with the levers controlling all hydraulically controlled components.
Before loading grain, make sure that the unit does not have any foreign object or material lodged in it that could cause
equipment damage or personal injury.
Check that PTO slides freely, is not damaged and is secured properly to tractor and unit. Make sure that there is approximately
1/3 over-lap of engagement.
Never use a tractor that is not recommended for the unit you are using. If you have any questions contact your Richiger dealer.
Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.

Personal safety
Pre-operation
and operation safety
03

Drive with caution when travelling with the bagger on public roads.
Drawbar hitch pin and retaining clip must be properly secured.
Attach safety chains between tractor and bagger for added security on roads.
Verify tire pressures (60 Lbs. standard for work) and wheel bolts.
The bagger's rear end must be raised as high as possible for best road clearance, i.e. hydraulic cylinder must be completely
closed and circuit depressurized.
Hydraulic hoses and hoist remote control cables should be adequately secured in place.
Brakes should be completely released.
The PTO drive shaft should be properly secured in its vertical stow-away position.
The bag supporting cradle should be correctly fastened to the hood with its spring clasps.
The bag supporting tray must be held up securely against the frame by turning and locking the hand winch when the retaining
steel cables are taut.
Do not smoke while working on hydraulic systems!
Never use your hand to search for hydraulic fluid leaks; escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and can
penetrate the skin and cause a serious injury!
USE A SCRAP PIECE OF CARDBOARD TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!
If any fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at once! Notify medical staff that there is an injection injury with
hydraulic fluid. Injected fluid must be surgically removed by a doctor familiarwith this type of injury or gangrene may
result!
Do not attempt to loosen or disconnect any hydraulic lines, hoses or fittings without first relieving hydraulic circuit
pressure. Also, be careful not to touch any hydraulic components that have been in recent operation because they
can be extremely hot!
Always replace hydraulic components with manufacturer recommended replacement parts. Improperly rated
components may result in system failure and/or injuries.
Contact your local Richiger dealer to order replacement parts.
Safety signs or decals provide very important information and instructions designed to alert you to dangers and hazards that
can be present during operation of this equipment. However, safety sign instructions must be read, understood and followed to

02 Richiger's R-990 and R-1090 baggers are machines designed for one basic purpose: storing all types of
dry grain inside bags. Alternatively, products such as fertilizers that run freely and flow in a way similar
than grain does can be also be stored in bags. Nevertheless, these are machines designed for particular
and not multiple applications. Caution is recommended and utilization of the machine with materials out
of its specific range of use will be considered inappropriate.
This manual also contains information about adequate preparation of the ground, correct layout of bags
and other considerations that should be taken into account when using Richiger's dry grain bagger..
Heavy duty frame
Solid structural frame has been designed to stand up to the toughest working
and transport conditions for many years of trouble-free operation.
Purpose
General Features
Braking system
The disc brake system acts independently on each wheel. Hub and disc are
cast as a single integrated piece to obtain a simpler, sturdier unit. The wheel
braking circuit is monitored with a pressure gauges and once pressure is set,
valves maintain it constant. This precise control of braking action contributes
to the overall efficiency of the bagging operation.

Drive shaft transmission
Transmission works through chain driven reduction gears for positive
non-slip action. It works with a PTO standard speed of 540 RPM,
reduced to half that speed at the compression auger to prevent grain
damage. Excessive auger speed could also generate centrifugal forces
that slow down the bagging process.
Compression auger
The uncovered screw is mounted on self-aligning, shielded bearings that are
adjustable both horizontally and vertically. They are located in topmost
position inside the tunnel to achieve better filling of the bag, and horizontal
layout ensures minimum breakage of grain

Supporting rail
The hoist assembly slides on a double rail support structure that can
handle bags up to 150 meters long and is controlled from the ground to
ensure operator safety.
The electric hoist is driven by the tractor's 12V battery and allows the
operator to raise the bag via remote control without physical exertion.
Tongue
Heavy duty tongue built of structural steel tubing allows hydraulic and
mechanical
height regulation.
