1.0 INTRODUCTION.
Tanco Autowrap Ltd congratulates you with the choice of TANCO AUTOWRAP bale wrapping
machine. We are certain you will be satisfied with the machine, and that you will have the pleasure
of your investment for many years.
The TANCO AUTOWRAP bale wrapping machine has more features than any other bale wrapping
machine available. TANCO AUTOWRAP can pick up the bale, wrap and stack them without the
operator leaving the tractor cab. This system is protected by patent laws.
TANCO AUTOWRAP 1300 is hydraulically driven by the tractors hydraulic system, and is controlled
from the tractor cab by an automatic control unit. The machine can either be mounted to three point
linkage, front mounted with quick-couplers to the tractors front loader or on a wheel loader. Then it's
possible to stack the bales upon each other.
TANCO AUTOWRAP 1300 is designed to wrap bales of grass, hay or straw, with nominal diameter
of 1.1-1.5 m, and weights up to (1200kg). The machine was developed and has been improved since
it’s beginning in 1986, and is now a very reliable and safe machine with high security built in.
This manual is meant to explain how TANCO AUTOWRAP is prepared, mounted, used and how it
works, and shall together with the spare part's list be a reference for maintenance and
troubleshooting. So take good care of the books, they are a part of the machine.
Read carefully through this manual, and specially chapter 2.0, safety instructions, before starting
the machine, and follow the instructions thoroughly. If problems should occur, check with chapter
16.0, and try to find out what is wrong. Ask your dealer for advice before you make the problem
worse than it is.
*EMERGENCY STOP. Tanco Autowrap 1300 is equipped with a so-called emergency stop on
the wrapping arm. This device stops all functions momentarily, but is per definition not an
emergency stop, because it does not shut down the inputs. But it has the same function, so
we have decided to call it an emergency stop in this manual.

Operator’s manual
2.5 DANGEROUS AREAS.
Tanco Autowrap Ltd has given the safety to the operator the highest priority, but it is still impossible
to secure oneself of every danger area on the machine. Therefore we will now go through some of
the dangers that can occur when using the Tanco autowrap bale wrapper.
1. IMPACT OF THE WRAPPING ARM.
During the wrapping process the arm rotates with a speed of 20-27 revolutions per minute
around the bale. On the arm is mounted a Film dispenser unit with a plastic roll. The speed
on this can give a person serious injuries if one enters the working area of the wrapping
arm. To reduce this danger we have mounted an emergency stop* device on the wrapping
arm, this stops all movement when something comes in the way of it. It is very important
that this protection always works and that it should not under any circumstances be
disconnected.
(See more about the emergency stop* in chapter 5.0).
2. SQUEEZE-DANGER BETWEEN THE MAIN FRAME AND THE WRAPPING ARM.
As earlier explained, we have a wrapping arm with a Dispenser and a plastic roll. During
every revolution the wrapping arm passes the main frame. Here there may occur a squeeze
danger if a person stands to close to the main frame when the wrapping arm passes. The
distance between the main frame and the wrapping arm is not large enough to give place for
a person. Between the pre-stretcher and the bottom frame there can also be a squeeze
danger.
3. SQUEEZE-DANGER BETWEEN THE STATIONARY AND WRAPPING ARM.
During the main wrapping process the wrapping arm moves around a stationary arm. Every
time the wrapping arm passes the stationary arm, there is a squeeze danger that can be
dangerous for the fingers. The distance between the stationary and the wrapping arm is
between 25-40 mm. (See fig. 2-2).
4. SQUEEZE DANGER BETWEEN THE ROLLERS AND THE MAIN FRAME.
During the wrapping process the bale rotates on two rollers. When the rollers are in motion
there is a danger of being squeezed.
5. SQUEEZE DANGER BETWEEN ROLLER ARMS AND MAIN FRAME, INWARDS.
When loading a new bale, the roller arms move towards the main frame, Beware of the
danger. Keep clear of this area.

8
Tanco Autowrap 1300 EH
Operator’s manual
6. SQUEEZE DANGER BETWEEN ROLLER ARMS AND MAIN FRAME, OUTWARDS.
When loading or unloading a new bale, the roller arms move outwards. Beware of the
danger. Keep clear of this area.
7. SQUEEZE DANGER CAUSED BY PLASTIC AUTOMATION.
At the end of the wrapping process the plastic is cut and held tight until the start of the next
wrapping process. When the cutter arm moves down to lock the plastic, there can occur a
squeeze danger between the cutter arm and the cutter holder. The cutter blade that cuts
the plastic is very sharp, so keep hands away from the cutter. (See fig. 2-3).
2.6 LOCKING THE WRAPPING ARM.
When the machine is not in use, make sure the locking stay for the wrapping arm is secured, and
that the locking bolt is fitted. If the locking stay is not secured, the wrapping arm and/or the
machine could be damaged during transport.
2.7 THREE POINT MOUNTING.
When the machine is mounted on the three point linkage, make sure that the lifting arms are
tightened up so there is no sideways movement.
2.8 FRONT MOUNTING.
If the machine is mounted on a front loader there must be a counterweight fitted to the three point
linkage. It must be large enough to give the tractor good stability.
Connecting heavy working implements often has an overall negative effect on
the tractor's driving and braking capacity.
2.9 TRANSPORTING.
When transporting on a public road there are certain safety measures that must be taken:
1. Make sure that the locking bolt on the wrapping arm is mounted. (Chapter 2.6).
2. Move the main rollers fully inwards.
3. Always transport the machine in the lowest possible position.
4. Make sure that the machine does not cover the tractors lights. If necessary, mount extra
lights.
5. Make sure that at least 20% of the tractor's total weight is on the steering wheels.
6. If the machine is front-mounted, it's necessary to balance the weight with a counterweight
mounted to the three-point linkage.

3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION ON BALE WRAPPING.
3.1 THE PRINCIPLE.
The advantages of round bale silage are many, and include fewer feed units, a flexible harvesting
system, large capacity and the possibility of selling feed units.
In principle, the same fermentation processes occur whether the fodder is placed in a silo or
pressed into bales and packed in plastic, i.e. lactic acid fermentation in anaerobic conditions. The
oxygen in the bale must be exhausted before fermentation begins.
The grass should be dried to approximately 30-40% solid content. The solid content can be
determined by twisting the grass by hand. If drops of liquid are forced out of the grass, the solid
content is less than 25%. Low solid content, (wet grass), can lead to increased butyric acid
fermentation if preservatives are not added to the grass. If the solid content is too high, (over 50%),
normal fermentation will not take place and there will be enough oxygen in the bale to produce
mould fungus.
3.2 THE BALER.
It is vital that the baler produces compact, well-formed bales, as misshapen bales can be difficult to
wrap. Wrapping will also often take longer, thereby increasing the amount of plastic used.
3.3 DIFFICULT BALES.
When a misshapen bale is wrapped, it will have a tendency to move outwards or inwards on the
roller. If the bale begins to move outwards, the machine must be lifted slightly at the rear edge to
get the bale to rest against the support roller on the main frame. It can therefore be useful to use a
hydraulic top link to make this adjustment easier. (See chapter 4.2).
If the support roller almost disappears into the bale the machine should be pressed down slightly at
the rear edge in order to remove the bale from the machine. The plastic can be damaged when
friction against the roller increases. Best results are achieved when the bale rolls easily against the
support roller all the time.
If the bale to be wrapped is conical you must ensure that the sharp end is pointed at the tractor. It
will then be easier to get the bale to lie correctly during packing. It is easy for such a bale to "turn"
forward in the direction in which it is pointing, and therefore lie against the support rollers. If the bale
is lying on a slope it must be picked up from the lower side. A hydraulic top link will again be
advantageous.
3.4 TYPES OF PLASTIC.
A good type of plastic with good adhesive properties, and which is recommended for bale wrapping,
must be used. The thickness of the plastic foil should be at least 25 µ. (25/1,000 mm). In order that
the plastic tightens sufficiently around the bale, it is stretched before being wrapped, so it is
somewhat thinner when it is put on the bale. With short-term storage, (up to eight weeks), it is
recommended that bales have a minimum of four layers of plastic at the thinnest points, with at
least 52-53% overlap.
For long-term storage, or when the grass is wet when it is wrapped, the bale should have 90-100 µ
plastic, (6 layers), and the same amount of overlap. If thinner plastic is used, more layers should be
applied. If it is very hot the plastic will be stretched further, and more layers should be applied. It is
better to have slightly too much than too little plastic on the bale.

10
Tanco Autowrap 1300 EH
Operator’s manual
From experience, light plastic produces slightly lower temperatures within the bale, and tends to
improve feed quality.
3.5 STORAGE LOCATION.
Care should be taken in finding a suitable location for the storage of bales. The storage location
should preferably be prepared before the bales are laid out. An elevation close to well-drained roads
is recommended. If the wrapped bales are simply placed on stubble there is a danger of the plastic
being pierced. A tarpaulin or a thin layer of sand should therefore be laid where the bales are to be
stored over the winter.
Bales should be stored in the shade as far as possible. This reduces the danger of air leakage in
the bales. A bale which is stored in sunlight and which therefore undergoes greater swings in
temperature "pumps in" a great deal of air in comparison to a bale stored in the shade. According to
"Teknik for Lantbruket" [Technology for Agriculture] in Sweden, a bale stored in the shade has only
40% of the air leakage of a bale which is stored in sunlight.
3.6 STACKING / PROTECTION.
If bales are hard and well formed, they can be stacked vertically, but loose and misshapen bales
with low solid content should not be stacked higher than one layer, as this could easily cause
deformity and the danger of runoff will be increased.
Bales can also be stored on their sides. The layer of plastic is thicker here, providing greater
protection against piercing.
Bales should be covered with a tarpaulin or a fine-mesh net to protect against birds and small
rodents. If the plastic is pierced, it must be sealed with weatherproof, hard-wearing tape, preferably
under the outermost layer of plastic. Ensure that the hole is adequately sealed.
3.7 The best wrapping results are obtained by...
...harvesting the grass early.
...drying it out to 30-40% solid content. If there is a danger of rain, bale and wrap the
grass anyway.
...taking care not to mix any earth in with the grass.
...using a baler that produces even, firm bales.
Bales 1.2 m in width and with a diameter of 1.2-1.5 m are the preferred sizes.
...wrapping the bales soon after baling, never later than two hours afterwards.
...using a good plastic type and six layers of plastic. This removes the need to use
preservatives.
...storing bales in the shade to reduce the danger of air leakage.

Operator’s manual
4.0SETTING UP / MOUNTING OF THE MACHINE.
Be careful! There is a danger of being crushed when working implements are fitted and
connected. Carry out the fitting procedures slowly and carefully, and use separate and
approved lifting equipment to make the work easier. See section 2 on safety regulations
and pay attention to the various safety decals displayed on different parts of the bale
wrapper.
4.1 THREE POINT LINKAGE.
TANCO AUTOWRAP 1300 is intended for rear mounting to the three point linkage, category 2.
When attached to three point linkage, make sure the machine is level across the tractor. Tighten up
and lock the lifting arms so there is no sideways movement.
4.2 TOP LINK.
Adjust the top link of the tractor so that the machine is level with the ground. It is recommended to
use a hydraulic top link, as this makes it easy to adjust the angle of the machine.
During the wrapping process it is recommended to tilt the machine towards the tractor, as this will
prevent the bale from falling off the rollers. (See fig. 4-1).
4.3 FRONT MOUNTING.
As extra equipment the machine can be equipped with quick-couplers for front loader or wheel
loader.
(See spare parts list chapter 2-4 for what types of quick couplers there are).
You also need longer hydraulic hoses. (See spare parts list chapter 4-2 for more details).
When front-mounted there must be a large enough counterweight fitted to the three point linkage,
this is to secure the tractors stability.

4.5 ELECTRIC CONNECTION.
The electric supply for the machine's remote control and electro-hydraulic components must come
directly from the tractors' 12 volt battery.
The electric wires from the battery must have an area measurement of min. 2,5 mm2.
Connection to other contacts on the tractor can cause risk of malfunction, and is not
recommended.
BROWN LEADER GOES TO BATTERY PLUS POLE
BLUE LEADER GOES TO BATTERY MINUS POLE
4.6 REMOTE CONTROL BOX 1300 EH.
The control unit consists of the emergence stop button, a steering cable, a fuse and a battery
cable. The control unit should be attached to a suitable place in the tractor cab.
THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT IS NOT SHOCK-PROOF. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS FASTENED
TO A SOFT PAD THAT SECURES A NON-VIBRATING FOUNDATION.
4.7 HYDRAULIC CONNECTION.
The hydraulic hoses between machine and tractor are equipped with 1/2" ISO male quick-couplers.
Discharge the oil pressure before you connect the oil hoses. Use the tractors' hydraulic lever.
To make sure that the bale wrapper works properly, the tractors' oil pressure has to be at least 180
bar. The oil flow should be 15 -25 liters per minute.
The return pressure on the return must be as low as possible, and not exceed 10 bar. This should
be measured with a gauge. It is recommended to use one single-working hydraulic outlet and
arrange a free return circuit to the oil tank. If you are unsure of what oil pressure the tractor gives, or
what oil pressure the bale wrapper receives, please contact your machinery dealer. Generally all
tractors have got some counter-pressure in their hydraulic return systems. Some tractors have more
than others.
Hose with red cap shall be connected to pressure, (P), and hose with blue cap to the
return. (T).

13
Tanco Autowrap 1300 EH
Operator’s manual
4.8 OPEN AND CLOSED CENTER HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.
With the valves you can choose between a hydraulic system with open or closed centers. Almost
all tractors have a hydraulic pump that gives a fixed oil flow per revolution. (Open center). TANCO
AUTOWRAP 1300 is set-up in the open position on leaving the factory. Some tractors, (like John
Deere), have an oil pump with variable volume per revolution. (Closed center). If you intend fitting
this machine to a machine with a closed center system a special closed center kit is required. See
spare parts list.
The contents of V6 must be replaced with pos. 13 and V7 with pos. 15 in the spare parts list.
V6 V7
4.9 CHECK LIST.
Before using the machine it is recommended to follow this check list:
1. Make it a habit to discharge the oil-pressure before connection or disconnection of the
hydraulic hoses. (By operating the hydraulic control lever inside the tractor). (Use the
tractors hydraulic control lever).
2. Return-oil should be led directly to tank. Beware that if the counter pressure is too high, the
security valve on the main block will release some oil. (See chapter 13).
3. Hose with BLUE CAP = RETURN OIL.
4. Hose with RED CAP = PRESSURE.
5. Tie up loose hoses and Connection Cables so that no squeeze damages occur.
6. Remove the locking bolt that holds the wrapping arm to the frame during transport.
7. Start the tractor and try out the functions. A bale is not required for this test.
8. Check all connections, hoses and couplings. If there is any oil-leakage, it should be
rectified immediately.
If any problems should occur, it is most likely that the failure is in the quick-couplers on the
tractors pressure and return-connections.
Make sure that both the male and the female-couplers opens properly for the oil flow.
Check them carefully. The best thing to do is to exchange the quick-coupling on the return side and
arrange a "free return".
Your TANCO AUTOWRAP bale wrapper has been tested in practical operation in approx. 2 hours
at the factory.

5.0 EMERGENCY STOP*.
5.1 The machine is equipped with a safety guard on the wrapping arm, and its operation must be tested
before work itself is started.
5.2 The emergency stop* is to prevent the wrapping arm from damaging people and objects, when the
machine is started and during the wrapping process.
5.3 It consists of a releaser hoop that activates a small electric switch, which gives a signal to the
control box to start the emergency stop.
5.4 When testing this function, start the wrapping arm. Hold out an arm or any obstacle. The wrapping
arm shall now stop before it hits the arm. Great care must be taken when testing this function.
5.5 To restart the machine the obstacle must be removed and the arm must be returned to its original
position. The switch on the control box (1300 M) must be turned back to the zero position. The wrapping
may start again.
5.6 IMPORTANT: GIVEN THE VELOCITY AND MOMENTUM OF THE ARM IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP
THE WRAP ARM IMMEDIATELY. THE EMERGENCY STOP ARM IS PROVIDED TO HELP REDUCE
THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY AND GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN OPERATING THIS
MACHINE.
6.0 MOUNTING OF PLASTIC FILM.
§When loading a plastic roll, first ensure the top cone (2) is pushed up to latched position, then push back
the Stretch rollers (3) until held in position by locking catch (4). .
§Place the Roll on the Bottom Cone and release the top latch (1). Beware of Fingers!
§Pull the film between the rollers on the pre-stretcher in the direction of the arrow. (See fig. 5-2). (See also the
sticker on the dispenser).
§Release the locking catch and allow the rollers to lie against the roll of film. Pull the film from the roll and tie
it to the bale.

Operator’s manual
6.1 The standard film dispenser is designed for 750mm film. If using 500 mm film an adaptor is required
which must be ordered separately. See parts book and contact your dealer.
6.2 Height adjustment of pre-stretcher / plastic film.
The plastic film should hit at the middle of the bale wrapped, and therefore it can be necessary to
adjust the height of the pre-stretcher.
6.3 Tanco Dual Stretch Dispenser
Some Tanco Autowrap machines can optionally be fitted with a patented dual stretch gear system.
This system enables a quick change of stretch levels on the Film Dispenser.
If the bolt (1) is fitted in position 2, the top set of gears provide the stretch (70%).
By removing the bolt from position 2 and fitting it in position 3, the bottom set of gears become the stretch gears
giving 32% (for prestretched film) or optionally 55% (for use in hotter climates or with square bales).

Press the switch to bring the wrapper to a controlled stop. Pressing the switch will continue the
auto-wrap cycle from where it stopped.
For safety reasons, if it is necessary to work on the machine (e.g. in the event of a film break or the film
running out), then it is strongly recommended that you then switch the controller off via the red stop button
and disengage the machine power source. Pressing the switch after switching the controller back on
will resume the auto-wrap cycle from where it stopped.
Unless it is an emergency situation, do not bring the machine to a stop by pressing the red stop button as
this will impose unnecessary strain on the machine.
2.3 Manual options in Automatic mode
With the controller in automatic mode, the following manual functions are possible.
SLOW WRAP (not during the wrapping sequence). Press to resume the normal fast wrap.
REVERSE WRAP ARM (only enabled outside of the wrapping sequence). Press this button to nudge the
wrap arm backwards to the desired position.
PAUSE BALE ROTATION (function active during auto-wrap cycle).Hold this button to add more film to a
particular part of the bale. Release the button when sufficient additional film has been applied.
BALE INDEXING (function active outside auto-wrap cycle).Press and hold this button to index the bale.
Release the button when the bale is at the desired position.
NOTE:The controller can be configured from the ‘Operator Setup’ menu (section 3) so that this is a ‘one-touch’
function and the bale will then index for the preset period (e.g. to allow a ¼ turn).
ADD 1 WRAP Each time you press this button an additional wrap will be put on the current bale if the
wrapping sequence is in progress, or onto the next bale if the automatic cycle has not yet been started. You
can add as many wraps as required.
2.4 Operation in Manual mode
‘M’ on the display indicates that the controller is set in manual mode. If not, press to select.
In manual mode you have total control of every stage of the wrapping cycle.
The software logic determines which manual functions can be activated at any point in the wrapping cycle.
Should the operator incorrectly select a function at a certain stage during the wrapping cycle, then that
operation will not be performed.

2.5 The Display Menu
The Display menu is divided into 3 sections. At the top level are the settings used during the daily work
with the machine –i.e. Store totals and No. of Wraps.
The Operator Setup’ section enables the operator to perform adjustments to the machine operation –e.g.
time duration and time delay settings during the automatic cycle.
The ‘Technician Setup’ menu is not normally accessible to the operator without a PIN access code.
‘Technician Setup’ is not covered by this manual.
Use the 4-way switch to navigate the menu. Each menu screen indicates which keys to press to make the
settings. The instrument will default back to the main operating display after 30 seconds if no other key is
pressed
Here is a summary of the display menu;
NOTE: There are additional sequences selectable in the Operator Setup menu but not shown in the table. These
sequences are for wrapper models to which this manual does not apply.
