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.

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.
