2. INTRODUCTION
Tanco Autowrap Ltd congratulates you on your choice of the TANCO AUTOWRAP bale wrapping machine. We are certain you will be satised with the machine,
and that you will have the pleasure of your investment for many years.
There are three models on the 1814 Autowrap range. The ARC and S models are designed for static operation; the LA model is self-loading to operate in the eld.
All models can be operated fully automatically. The static models have the controller mounted in an enclosure on the machine;
this can be operated by radio remote control from the loading tractor.
The LA model has the controller in the tractor cab.
The 1814 is equipped with a patented, special mounting for the rollers, which enables the machine to wrap round* & square bales.
The 1814 can wrap both square and rectangular bales, from 47 x 80 to 120 x 120 x 190 cm long.
It can take bales of up to 1500 kg. It can also wrap round bales of up to ø1500 mm.
This machine has been in operation since 2007; customer demand has enabled us to develop this well adapted machine for the market.
This manual is meant to explain how the 1814 is prepared, mounted, operated and how it works, and along with the spare part’s list be a reference for
maintenance and troubleshooting. So take good care of this book, it is a part of the machine.
Read carefully through this manual, and specially chapter 4, safety precautions, before starting the machine, and follow the instructions thoroughly.
If problems should occur, ask your dealer for advice before you make the problem worse than it is. See also chapter 12, guarantee.

4. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TANCO AUTOWRAP LTD. does not take the responsibility for damages that may occur on machine, persons or other equipment, because of the machine NOT being used as described in
this manual, or because of the safety precautions NOT being followed.
Safety Equipment
Before using the machine, make sure that all guards and covers are securely tted. The machine must not be operated if a function does not work as described later in this manual.
The AutoWrap 1814 is equipped with an "EMERGENCY STOP" on the wrapping arm. This device stops all functions as quickly as possible, but is by denition not an emergency stop,
because it does not interrupt the feed. Nevertheless it has an equivalent function, so we have decided to call it an EMERGENCY STOP in this book.
Become Familiar with the Operations of the Machine
If you are unsure how to operate the machine properly, either use of or maintenance to your Tanco Autowrap, please contact your Tanco Autowrap dealer.
IMPORTANT!
Always make sure that nobody is inside the hazard area of the wrapping arm when the machine is in use. Safety distance is 5 metres
The machine must not be operated by persons who do not know enough about how to safely operate the machine, or by persons under the age of 16 years.
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 Auto Wrap bale wrapper. The 1814 is a large machine with many moving parts. As such there are signicant danger area’s
associated with it and it is vitally important that the operator is conscious of these and remains vigilant at all times when operating the 1814.
- 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
there is mounted a lm Dispenser unit with a plastic roll. The Dispensers can give a person serious injuries if one comes to
close to the working area of the wrapping arm. To reduce this danger we have mounted an emergency stop* device on the
wrapping arm, this stops output for the wrap arm and should stop the wrap arm within two feet of 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.

- Crush Hazard Between the Tower/Chassis and the Wrapping Arm
As earlier explained, we have a wrapping arm with a Dispenser and a plastic roll. The wrapping arm passes the main frame during
each rotation. Here there is a risking of crushing 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 room for a person.
The clearance between the Dispenser and the Chassis there is also be a crush hazard.
- Crush Hazard Between the Tower and the Wrapping Arm
During the main wrapping process the wrapping arm rotates around the bale. Every time the wrapping arm passes
the tower/chassis, there is a crush hazard that can be dangerous for the ngers/ arms or bodies.
The distance between the stationary and the wrapping arm is between 25-40 mm.

Crush Hazard Between the Rollers and the Main Frame
When adjusting the width of the rollers there is a danger of being trapped and squashed. Keep away from this area, ngers and feet also.
(See g. 4.3).
- Crush Hazard Cause by Cut and Start System
At the end of the wrapping process the plastic is held tight & cut from the bale. It’s held ready for the start of the next wrapping process.
When the cutter arm moves down to hold the plastic, there can occur a trap danger between the cutter arm and the cutter holder.
The cutter blade that perforates the plastic is very sharp, so keep hands away from the cutter. (See g. 4.4).
- Crush Hazard Between the Rollers
When the rollers on the machine are moved together, there is not enough space for a person between the rollers. Here there is a danger of being squeezed, so make sure that nobody is
between the rollers when they are moved together.
Note that the rocking rollers can rotate and even if they are in the level position they can drop suddenly. There is a serious risk of crushing associated with this. Never stand on the roll-
ers or stand between or lie under them. If you need to work in this area always ensure that everything is in a safe position. i.e rollers are dropped and fully opened and power supply is
disconnected
- Crush Hazard on the Load Arm
Always ensure that when you are operating the load arm there is nobody in the operating area of it as it could cause serious injury, either by crushing or squeezing.
- Hazard on the Conveyor
Always ensure that when you are operating the unloading conveyor there is nobody in the operating area of it as it could cause serious injury. If the optional rotate conveyor is tted
there is a risk of getting crushed when it is closing.
Note: The rollers on the conveyors and the two mounted on the chassis between the rocking rollers and the conveyor are free rolling. Never stand or sit on them as you are likely to loose
your balance and cause injury to yourself.

Locking the Conveyor
When the machine is not in use, make sure the unloading conveyor is raised and the parking bracket is connected. If this bracket is not connected, the conveyor can creep down, causing
a hazard on the road or to items the beside the machine.(See g. 4.5)
Connecting heavy working implements often has an overall negative eect on the tractor’s driving and braking capacity. When transporting on the road always ensure the machines
hydraulic brakes are connected to the tractor and that they are functioning correctly.
Transporting
When transported on a public road there are certain safety measures that must be taken:
1. Move the wrapping arm into the transport position using the controller. (See 10.)
2. Close the grab fully and raise the load arm fully. (See 10.9)
3. Raise the unloading conveyor and secure with the parking bracket. (See section 2.7)
4. Ensure machines lights are connected and working correctly.
5. Cut the ow of oil to the machine by disengaging the tractors spool valve and cut the power to the controller by pressing the Red Button on the controller.
