START-UP Instructions

3 INSTALLATION

WARNING: BEFORE START-UP, REPLACE THE 3/4” PLUG ON THE TOP OF THE POWER UNIT RESERVOIR WITH THE FILLER BREATHER CAP. THIS CAP IS SHIPPED INSIDE OF THE PANEL BOX.

DANGER: DO NOT CLIMB ON SIDES OF BALER. USE A LADDER OR WORK PLATFORM WHEN WORKING ON TOP OF THE BALER OR OTHER AREAS OF THE BALER THAT CAN NOT BE REACHED FROM GROUND LEVEL.

WARNING: PARTS OF THE FEED GATE WILL EXTEND ABOVE THE TOP OF THE BALER WHEN THE FEED GATE IS FULLY RAISED.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE PERSONS AND MATERIAL ARE CLEAR OF CHARGE BOX AREA.

1.After the electrical connections are complete, check motor rotation by the following:

MOTOR ROTATION APPLIES TO THREE PHASE UNITS ONLY.

a.Close bale chamber door and feed gate.

b.Turn disconnect switch to the ON position.

c.Have someone turn ON the keyswitch and depress the AUTO- CYCLE button for one second and then immediately depress the EMERGENCY STOP button. Check motor rotation by watching the hub coupling through the slot in the pump-to-motor adapter. There is a rotation decal on the power unit showing correct rotation. In the event that this decal is missing, look at the hub coupling from the motor end. Rotation should be clockwise.

CAUTION: If the pump rotates backward, STOP IMMEDIATELY! The pump will be damaged if it is operated in reverse even for short periods. Reversing any two incoming power lines will change the motor/pump rotation.

2.With the platen fully raised, check to be sure the oil reservoir is filled to the 3/4 level on the sight gauge (Refer to page 2-14 for hydraulic oil recommendations). The hydraulic system pressure has been factory set.

3.The baler is equipped with an electrical interlock which prevents the use of

the AUTOCYCLE and MANUAL DOWN functions when the feed gate is in the up position. If either of these buttons start the baler when the feed gate is up, discontinue use of the baler until repairs have been made.

4.MAKE SURE THAT THE OPERATORS ARE TRAINED IN THE

PROPER USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
