Model description
TKS Round Bale Wrapper is designed for stretch film wrapping straw/hay or dried grass in the form
of round bales for silage.
The wrappers are hydraulic driven. A rotating table rotates the bale as the film is applied onto the
bale. The prestrecher ensures a correct prestrech of the film. The applicutter cuts and holds the
film prior to unloading of the wrapped bale.
The machine is powered by the tractor’s oil pump.
The Round Bale Wrappers 6150 /6100 /6110 are operated by a computerized control system.
ATTENTION!
This machine is designed to carry a bale with a maximum weight of 1400 Kg.
Operation with a weight in excess of this could damage the machine and be dangerous.

Safety Please pay particular attention to this symbol.
It means that there is a safety risk, and de-
scribes precautions that should be taken in
order to avoid accidents
Before operating, adjusting or servicing the
machine it is important that the safety
instructions in this manual are carefully read
and understood. See Fig. 1
Pay attention and be careful when handling
agricultural machinery. Read and take note of
the safety instructions in this manual.
NB!
Safety at work is your responsibility!
General
safety
instructions Please read and understand these general
safety instructions.
Pay particular attention to this symbol. It
means that there could be a serious hazard.
It emphasises precautions, which have to be
complied with in order to prevent accidents.
Be careful when other people or animals are
close by!
Never start the machine when people or
animals are close by tractor or machine. Never
stand between the tractor wheels and machine.
See Fig. 2
NB!
Bear in mind regulations regarding the lower
age of operators of this kind of machines.
Use of the machine
The machine should be used only for the
purpose it has been designed for.
Use personal protection devices
Do not wear loose clothing, which might catch
in any of the moving parts. In dusty conditions
an approved mask must be used. See Fig. 3
Take care of excessive noise level. Some
tractor/implement combinations, depending on
conditions, may cause noise level beyond 85dB
at the operator’s ears, even in a “Q” cab. In
these conditions ear defenders must be worn.
Keep cab windows and doors closed to reduce
noise level

The machine must be connected to a
correctly sized tractor
The weight of the tractor must correspond to
the maximum weight of the machine when op-
erated. Follow domestic law and regulations.
See Fig. 4
Make sure that the tractor has the correct PTO
gear engaged. A machine designed for an input
speed of 540 rpm. should never be connected
to a tractor with 1000 rpm. output speed
engaged. The normal PTO speed is given on a
label close to the PTO input shaft.
Connecting machine to tractor
must always be carried out as described in
this manual. If connection is carried out with a
drawbar, one of the parts (tractor or machine’s
drawbar) must have a clevis. The drawbar pin
must be secured with a lock pin.
See Fig. 5
Observe national regulations regarding road
transport. Some countries require the use of
safety chain when a trailed machine is towed
along public roads.
Think of safety while operating the machine
Stop the tractor engine and remove the ignition
key prior to carrying out repairs, cleaning,
lubrication or maintaining the machine.
See Fig. 6
Safety guards
Make sure all guards are in good order and
fitted correctly. Do not attempt to start the
machine before ensuring this. Se Fig. 7
Pay particular attention to the plastic guards
of the PTO shaft. If damaged they must be
replaced. The chain locks of the guards must
always be fitted on a suitable place on the
tractor and the machine to prevent the outer
plastic guards turning.
Hydraulics
Be very careful when dealing with hydraulics.
Use eye protection and gloves. Escaping
hydraulic oil under pressure might penetrate the
skin and cause serious infection.
Consult a doctor if you have been exposed to
injury. See Fig. 8
Take care that nobody is close to the machine
when the hydraulic functions are being
operated.

When uncoupling machine and when
leaving tractor/machine
When uncoupling, all hydraulic functions must
be in neutral position. The machine must be
lowered to the ground and be safely secured. If
the machine has parking chocks they should be
used at the wheels. Never allow children to play
or stay near agricultural machinery. See Fig. 9
Drive safely
Beware of your responsibility, - carelessness or
negligence may cause serious injury or even
death.
See Fig. 10
Prior to transporting the machine along public
roads, check wheel bolts and couplings.
Disconnect or lock the hydraulic system.
Drive carefully. Reduce speed when turning and
driving on uneven ground. Take care that trailed
machine does not start swinging or become
unstable.
Please be aware of the danger of overturning
when working on slopes and in soft ground.
Reduce load.
Lights
The owner and operator is responsible of
providing correct lamps and reflectors on the
machine when transported on public roads.
Comply with public regulations.
See Fig. 11
Safety equipment
Always carry first aid equipment on the tractor.
Also observe the regulations concerning fire
extinguisher. When working with burning mate-
rials like hay and straw a fire extinguisher must
be available at all times.
See Fig. 12
Spare parts
For safety reasons use only original spare
parts. The use of spurious spare parts will
cause the TKS product guarantee to be invalid.
Se Fig. 13
Maintenance
Take care that the machine is properly main-
tained and kept in good safe working condition.
Never change the basic technical construction
of the machine.

1 Preparing a new machine
Assure that the machine is stable when it is
assembled.1.1 Packing
Remove all kind of packing. Any equipment
stored in the machine should be removed.
1.2 Adjustment of
turn table to fit bale
diameter
The two rollers on the turntable are factory fitted
for bale diameter 1,2m.
If the bale diameter varies from this, the
beltdriven rollers must be moved to obtain
maximum contact between bale and belt.
