1. Main frame 5. Side wheels
2. Wrapping film feeder 6. Rotary drums
3. Main frame 7. Hydraulic motor
4. Rotary frame 8. Wrap counter
9. Guard rail
3.3. Intended use
The wrapping machine shall be operated according to its intended use by coupling it with a
tractor with nominal power exceeding 30kW and traction class of at least 0.9.
The Spin bale wrapping machine is designed for wrapping hay and grass bales and other
plants with a humidity of approx. 60% rolled into bales using collecting and wrapping presses.
Grass and other papilionaceous plants prepared for souring and wrapping should be mowed in the
early phase of heading (best done in the afternoon). On the next day, after a few hours of drying, the
mowed material should be gathered using the wrapping presses. Maximum bale compression must
be maintained. The bale wrapping process should be conducted on the field or in the storage yard
practically immediately after the bales have been rolled. The rolled bales should be stacked in up to
two layers on a dry level surface, making sure the wrapping film is not torn
The fermentation process must continue for two months in positive temperatures. Thus
provided silage is fit for use as a wholesome feed for animals
WARNING:
Do not use the machine for purposes other than abovementioned.

Safety Signal Words
This manual and the safety labels attached to this equipment utilize signal words that signify
safety hazards with different levels of severity. Below are the words used and the definitions
for these words:
•DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury
•WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury
•CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury

use a tractor with a cab fitted with filters in the ventilation system. Failing this, wear a dust
mask with filter to protect your respiratory tract.
 Front axis of the tractor should be weighted to keep the balance. If need be, use front wheel
weights.
 In order to keep steering conditions, impact on front axis should be at least 20% of the complete
tractor.
 Be extremely careful whenever using hydraulic lift lever or buttons. Any operation with
hydraulic lift lever should be done from operator’s seat; DO NOT move the lever from outside
of a tractor.

4.2. Hazards
Description of residua risks
Despite the fact that SaMASZ Białystok, the manufacturer of the wrapping machine, has
taken great care in the design and manufacturing of the wrapping machine, certain risks during
wrapping machine operation and maintenance are unavoidable. A major source of risk that could
result in serious injury or death can occur during the performance of these operations.
Major source of risk follows performance of these operations:
 installation of the wrapping machine on tractors which do not meet the required minimum
criteria stated in this manual,

Operator’s manual
Bale wrapper
Spin
- 7 -
 standing below raised lifting components of the machine,
 standing in the machine‘s working area,
 maintenance or repairs conducted with the tractor engine on,
 use of damaged hydraulic lines,
 machine operation by an operator standing outside the tractor‘s cabin,
 operating a wrapping machine which is damaged or without protective covers in place,
 operating the wrapping machine on slopes with an inclination exceeding 8°,
 transporting bales of silage on the wrapping machine,
 remaining on (aboard) the machine when it is working or during transport,
 misuse of the wrapping machine,
 leaving the wrapping machine unsecured on inclined terrain,
 standing between the tractor and the machine while the engine is running.
With the aforementioned residual risks, the bale wrapping machine is regarded as a machine
which has been designed and built according to the current state of technology.
Residual risk assessment
Residual risk occurs from not complying with the instructions and safety precautions. Such
risk can be minimized by doing the following:
 Read and understand the operating manual,
 Do not stand below the raised lifting components of the machine,
 Do not stand in the machine‘s working area,
 The maintenance and repairs of the wrapping machine should performed at authorized service
workshops,
 The machine should be used by trained and authorized operators, Protect the wrapping machine
from access by children and bystanders.
NOTICE:
The residual risks are present when the aforementioned manufacturer‘s
rules and indications are not followed.
During operation, the operator is not subject to noise which may cause the loss of
hearing, as the noise level of the machine does not exceed 70 dB and the operator
works inside the tractor‘s cabin.
During the operation, the operator is not subject to harmful vibration as the vibration
level transferred to the upper limbs does not exceed 2.5 m/s
2
, and the vibration level
transferred to the body is lower than 0.5 m/s
2
and the operator is positioned in the
tractor‘s cabin.
4.3. Transport
The wrapping machine is suitable for road and rail transport using carriers with appropriate
load bearing capacity.
For loading on a means of road transport, use lifting devices with lifting capacity appropriate for the
machine’s weight including a loaded roll of film. It is forbidden to load the wrapping machine with
a bale of swat or silage on it. The transported wrapping machine must be securely fastened to the
carrier vehicle. It is forbidden to transport the wrapping machine with a bale of silage or swath
loaded on it.
The lifting device should be operated by experienced operators with appropriate
qualifications.

4.4. Driving on public roads
For transporting the machine on public roads, tractors equipped with a three point hitch with
a rated power not lower than 30kW and traction class not lower than 0.9 equipped with a transport
hitch may be used.
Before entering a public road:
 Place the rotary frame in its transport position so that the drums are locked parallel to the
wrapping machine‘s axle,
 Disconnect and properly secure the hydraulic cables,
 Place the red and white warning symbols equipped with integrated lights, connect them to the
tractor‘s electric system and check their operation,
 Place the triangle denoting slow-running vehicles in the stand in the rear.
Before starting the wrapping machine and before entering public roads, check the attachment of
the machine to the tractor.
WARNING:
It is forbidden to carry bales of silage on the rotary table.
Before entering public roads, check if the tractor is fully steerable. With the wrapping machine
raised, the load on the front axle must be at least 20% of the tractors own weight. If this condition
is not met, additional weight is required on the front axle.
While driving on public roads, the speed should be appropriate to the current conditions and not
exceeding 20 mph.
Follow the traffic code regulations and the manufacturers recommendations when transporting
the wrapping machine on public roads. If an emergency requires the driver to stop the tractor with
the wrapping machine in tow on a public road, the tractor driver should:
 stop the vehicle without causing any danger to the road users and without blocking traffic,
 stop the vehicle as close to the road edge as possible and parallel to the road axis,
 turn off the engine, remove the ignition key engage the parking brake and place wedges
under the wrapping machine‘s wheels,
 outside a built-up area, the warning triangle should be placed 98' 5" - 164' behind the vehicle
and the emergency lights must be activated,
 while driving in a built-up area, turn on the emergency lights and place the warning triangle
in the stand on the rear of the machine. Make sure that the triangle is visible to other road
users,
 in the event of a breakdown, take the required precautions to ensure safety in the area.
