SPEED-SETTING OF THE WRAPPING ARM. Start the tractor, let it run at approx. 1000 revolutions per min. lift the machine clear off the ground. The oil flow to the Wrap arm and Rollers is adjusted with the use of two control valves which are placed on the valve block situated behind the machines "tower".[see fig.
10.0 OPERATION INSTRUCTION. We shall now go through a complete wrapping process, from loading to storage place, and explain the practical use of Auto Wrap 1510 / 1514 / TWIN. 10.1 LOADING Find a bale you wish to wrap. Increase the opening between the rollers as much as possible.
Page 29
Tanco Autowrap 1514-1510 Operator’s manual 10.4 WRAPPING SQUARE BALES. (Auto Wrap 1514 / TWIN). When loading small square bales it is important to lower the rollers as close to the ground as possible. This to make all four rollers to get a grip on the side of the bale. If two of the rollers come over the bale, the machine will not be able to load it.
Page 30
Tanco Autowrap 1514-1510 Operator’s manual 10.8 STOP. On the last revolution, the controller automatically slows, the cutter opens, and it stops at the right place for next wrapping cycle. Then the cutter closes automatically, and the film is held tight in the U-formed slot and perforated. The bale is now completely wrapped and ready for stacking.
11.0 SPECIAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TWIN MACHINES The Auto Wrap 1510/1514 can, as described earlier, also be supplied with a double set of wrapping arms, film stretchers and cutters. This significantly increases the machine's capacity. This machine is essentially the same as a standard machine, apart from two film dispensers and two cut and start units.
12.9 CHAINS/CHAIN TIGHTENERS After some hours' use the chains on the roller arms which drive the rollers (all 1510/1514/TWIN machines) and similarly the chains at the outer end of the rollers on the square-bale units must be tightened. (1514/1514 TWIN).
