SETUP

1.) When you receive your new ROTO-PRESS from the factory, it is not immediately necessary

to check the machine for bearing lubrication, or chain tightness as these items have been fac-

tory serviced. It is recommended to walk around the machine and familiarize yourself with the

location of all moving parts, caution decals, the general operating dimensions, and the basic

working features of the ROTO-PRESS.

CAUTION! BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE, READ AND

UNDERSTAND THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND ALL CAUTION, WARNING AND

DANGER SYMBOLS LOCATED ON THE MACHINE AND IN THIS MANUAL.

2.) All lubrication has been completed at the factory prior to delivery, and will not be imme-

diately necessary. The oil bath has been lled to the proper level. Take note that the oil does

not run any higher than approximately halfway up the very lowest part of the drive chain. All

bearings should be greased according to the enclosed lubrication schedule.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT OVER GREASE BEARINGS, SEAL FAILURE AND

SUBSEQUENT PREMATURE BEARING FAILURE COULD RESULT.

OPERATION

CAUTION! BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RUN THE ROTO-PRESS CHECK THE

AUGER CHAMBER FOR FOREIGN MATERIAL. MAKE SURE THAT All

SHIELDS ARE IN PLACE, AND THAT ALL SAFETY DECALS ARE

UNOBSTRUCTED.

1.) Pick a tractor large enough for your application. Too big is better than too small. Hay or

cracking requires 130 hp. Ground ear corn or snaplage requires 115 hp. Shell corn requires 80

hp. Fuel tank on tractor should be full before starting. Hook up the tractor to the bagger.

2.) Before you begin to set-up the ROTO-PRESS, pick a suitable location for the bag(s). The

location should be well drained, smooth, fairly solid; long enough for the size bags you are

using and easily accessible for both lling and unloading. Check the length and remember

that the tractor and bagger take approximately 40-50 feet extra. Also, a slight uphill incline

is preferred; however, you should not be on a side hill. If there is a choice of bagging uphill or

downhill, always bag uphill. Remember that these are only recommendations, it can be done

almost anywhere.

READ CAREFULLY

USING YOUR ROTO-PRESS

Page # 15

3.) Position the ROTO-PRESS in a straight line with the tractor in the direction that you want

to bag, making sure that the wheels of the tractor are pointed straightforward. See Figure

1. Keep checking the tractor wheels while lling the bag, making sure they are straight at all

times. Many people will grab the steering wheel when getting out of the cab. Try not to do

this. Also, when positioning the tractor and bagger, leave enough room to put the bag on. This

requires 10 to 15 feet.

TRANSPORT LIGHTING

1.) When you receive your ROTO-PRESS, the transport lighting should be in the open position.

This means that the lights are visible from the rear of the machine. Once you have positioned

the machine for bagging, you must change the lights.

From the front of the machine, located behind the wheels is where you will nd the light

assembly. Pull the pin holding the light assembly and pull the assembly toward you until it

bumps against the stop. Replace the pin back into the additional hole in the light assembly

bracket to hold the light assembly in the closed position.

2.) Before transporting the machine to a new location, reverse the process as described

above. It is very important to reposition the lights each time the machine is transported.

BAG INSTALLATION

1.) Disconnect the yellow rope with hooks from the bagger’s front shroud. Lower the bag apron

to the ground by using the jack located on the right side of the machin

Figure 1-2

WARNING! ALL WORK TO INSTALL THE BAG SHOULD BE

DONE FROM THE GROUND & BY STEPPING ONLY ON

THE AXLE. DO NOT CLIMB ON THE ROTO-PRESS.

CLIMBING ON UNIT MAY RESULT

IN INJURY OR DEATH FROM A FALL.

2.) Winch the trolley\bag lift (if so equipped), pulling it along on both sides while standing on

the ground and lower to approximately 3’ o the ground. (Figures 1 & 2) Note: 3 or more people

should be present at this point.

3.) Position the box containing the proper size bag for your bagger behind the bag lift. Making

sure the arrow is toward the machine. Cut the straps around the box and remove the top por-

tion, discard the top half. Unfold the remaining box aps. Remove the two (2) blue straps that are

holding the bag together. Leave the rest alone for now. Make sure the black side is toward the

machine. Having one person on each side of the bag, take a ap, lift and lay the top half out and

pull the bottom half out so the bag lays at. Two (2) people should put their arms between the

top aps, put the bag around the bag lift. (Figure 3) Remember to position the bag so the bars

and lettering used to measure the stretch of bag are easily reached (approximately 3’to 4’ from

ground).

4.) Using the two (2) blue straps cut earlier, lift and place around bottom position of the bag.

Slide the cardboard so that the aps will just go up onto the apron. (Figure 3) Then slide the bag

onto the bag apron. Raise the bag lift and roll it forward all the way to the front, sliding the bot-

tom of the bag along onto the bag apron. Slide the cardboard just o of the apron.

5.) Put the bag around and under bottom of the shroud. And be sure to put the bag on so

that the bottom bag folds come o rst. Then winch the bag lift up and move trolley\bag lift

back over shroud. (Figure 4)

Caution: Do not over tighten bag lift cable as to bow bag lift ends. Be careful not to

pinch the bag.

ROPE

BUNGEE CORD

6.) Being careful not to cut the bag, cut the remaining straps and remove them. Carefully

pull the inside layer of the bag o. A gentle tugging action works well. Make sure you don’t

pull the rest of the bag o the bag lift. Pull the bag o to 6 feet behind the machine. With

one person on each side, pull the main part of the bag out and forward on the apron. This

will get the wrinkles out and avoid getting the bag caught between the bag apron and the

machine.

7.) Raise the bag apron up. Put the bungee cord over the bag just behind the main bag yet

ahead of the tube. Place ropes with the bottom side of the bag apron and the hook into the

holes in the front tube (keep the hook to the outside so it does not catch on the bag) about

half way up to begin. (Figure 6) Do the same on both sides. The cord must be tight and

go on the front side of the apron. This is very important. Tie the ropes on the bungee cord

forward to their appropriate hook.

8.) Now to close the bag, pull enough o of the shroud so that you can close o the one

end. Pull a little more o of the bottom to start out. It is important not to allow wrinkles

and to keep the bag fold lines straight. Take the opening of the bag and fold in both sides

to form a pleat. Also requires the use of (2) 10’2 x 4’s. (Figure 3) Place the blank board on

top and roll the bag around it four (4) times. Place the pre-nailed board on top to sandwich

the plastic and nail them together.

USING YOUR ROTO-PRESS

Page # 19

9.) Let the boards hang down or prop them up against a bale or by backing a truck, tractor or

skidloader to act as a back stop to hold them securely for the rst three loads. This is to com-

pensate for the bag coming o the top later. Check that the apron is just loose enough to let

o one fold at a time. Also check for tearing at the bottom. If this occurs loosen the bungee

cord and tape the tear.

10.) Read directions and information sheet in the bag box completely. Measure for proper

stretching of the bag. The ROTO-PRESS does have the ability to over stretch and burst the bag.

WARNING! DO NOT STAND UNDERNEATH THE CONVEYOR

WHILE IT IS BEING LET DOWN.

11.) Let the conveyor down. This is done by raising the conveyor up and pulling down on the

safety, if so equipped. Lower down to just o the ground, or to the desired height. Make sure

the conveyor never comes in contact with the ground. Flip the hopper end chute over into

its operating position. Hook up the tractor hydraulics, and check the belt rotation to make

sure the belt is moving in the right direction. If available, adjust the tractor hydraulic ow to

as slow as possible, and then adjust the ROTO-PRESS ow control to the desired speed. This

will decrease the amount of heat created by pushing the excess oil over the bypass of the ow

control.

12.) The ROTO-PRESS conveyor is equipped with a safety stop bar located across the width of

the conveyor, and is easily accessible from either side. Pulling the safety bar down will instant-

ly shut the conveyor o. Pushing it up will resume operation. Always check the operation of

the safety stop bar before beginning to ll the bag.

13.) Auger units need to be mounted at this time using a loader and a chain to raise the au-

ger up.

USING YOUR ROTO-PRESS

Page # 20

14.) To set the brakes on the ROTO-PRESS, remove the keeper pin on top of the brake assembly.

Take the brake handle\wrench and insert into the tube and then pull down. Tension is adjusted by

using brake\wrench handle on center portion of turnbuckle and turning, or (older units) turning

the nut located on the threaded portion of the connecting rod.

ATTENTION! DO NOT SET THE BRAKES ON THE ROTO-PRESS SO TIGHT THAT IT CAUSES THE BAG TO

SLIDE ON THE GROUND, THIS WILL TEAR THE BAG! SET THE BRAKES ON THE BAGGER LIGHTLY FOR

THE FIRST THREE LOADS!

Adjust the ROTO-PRESS brakes as necessary after the rst three loads.

15.) Start the tractor and place it in neutral, but not in park!. This is very important! Run at PTO

speed. Lock in the hydraulic lever to run the conveyor.

BAG FILLING

1.) The bag lls in direct relationship to the machine lling it. Watch the bag and the folds

as they come o of the cone, as they must come o evenly. If either the top or bottom gets

ahead, then pull o whatever is necessary to straighten them out, or it will only continue to get

worse. The unfolding bag must be regularly checked, because with certain conditions such as

temperature, bag apron position, or improper bungee cord tension the bag may come o two

or more folds at a time. If the bag is regularly checked this will not be a problem as the extra fold

can be retucked into place. If not regularly watched, the whole bag could come o the end

of the bagger.

2.) Start lling. As the bag is lling, pull the bag toward the rear to avoid wrinkles on the

ground. It may be necessary to adjust the position of the bag pan and bungee cord, after some of

the bag has come o.

3.) An overow door placed just behind the conveyor tells you if you need to slow the conveyor

down. On the front side of the conveyor is a ow control to regulate the speed of the conveyor.

On roller mill units, adjust the slide control on the top so that the corn is getting to the entire

roller. It should be mounded up just a little to make this happen.

On auger units, do not overll the hopper. If it is full at the tube opening, that is good enough.
