OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - BALE TIE OFF/BALE EJECT

When the “BALE MADE” light comes on it is time to tie off the bale and eject the bale from the baler. See page 1-4 for control panel layout and location. See the following page for a diagram of the following steps.

FOR BALE TIE OFF & BALE EJECT:

1.Press the MANUAL UP button until the platen is in the up position and the feed gate raises.

2.Insert a large, flat piece of material across the top of the bale. With the platen in the “up” position, make sure there is no cardboard, or other baled materials, stuck between the back of the platen and the back wall of the baler. Remove any materials found in this area.

3.Close feed gate and press the AUTOCYCLE button. The platen will move to the down position and the BALE MADE light will come back on.

4.Release the bale chamber door latch on the side of baler and open the

bale chamber door all the way. Feed gate is closed but will raise when the bale chamber door is opened.

5.CAUTION: Wear safety glasses and leather gloves during the following

operation: Facing the front of the bale, tie off bale by inserting bale ties (loop end first) through the platen. Always insert bale ties through the tie slots in the platen, first. Feed wire through until it comes out of the tie slot in the baler floor. Tie off each tie. Bale ties should be tightened only hand tight, allowing for bale expansion when released. See Diagram on Following Page.

6.Standing at the side, make sure all personnel are clear of the front of the baler. Press and hold the MANUAL UP button until the bale ejects.

7.Remove bale from in front of baler. Close and latch the bale door completely. Failure to close and latch the bale door completely may result in serious damage to the bale ejector.

8.Close the feed gate, and press the AUTO CYCLE button and let the machine run through a complete cycle to reset the bale ejector hook. When the feed gate raises, the machine is ready to start the next bale.

NOTE: You can close the feed gate at this time if added security is required. To open the gate you will have to run the baler through a complete AUTOCYCLE.
