Rotochopper Go-Bagger 250 Quick Start Manual

Steps to Setting Up Your Go-Bagger

Before operating the Go-Bagger® 250 carefully read the operators manual. Remember safety is your responsibility. Make sure all
members of the operating crew are wearing eye protection, ear protection, protective footwear and high visibility clothing. Stay clear of
moving parts. Moving parts may start without warning.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to prepare the Go-Bagger® 250 for operation.
1. Park GB-250 on dry level solid ground.
2. Use front stabilizer jacks to raise GB-250 off the vehicle hitch.
3. Disconnect trailer lights and unhook safety chains from vehicle.
4. Plug in the foot pedals controls and place below the bagging jaws & sealer.
5. Level machine from side to side and front to back using stabilizer jacks.
6. Check engine oil level, coolant level, hydraulic fluid level & fuel level; fill with fluid or fuel if needed.
7. Adjust the roller bed height by pulling back the locking pin and loosening the bolts used to secure the roller bed during transport,
then adjust the height using the winch. Once the roller bed is in proper position, tighten the bolts to secure.
*Bags must be clear of the bag rails and roller bed for accurate weight filling.
8. Adjust the bag guide rails by loosening the bolts that hold the guide rails in place then move the bag guide rails into proper
position; then tighten bolts and jam nuts.
9. Shift the roller bed into position to accommodate the operator at the bagging jaw and the sealer by removing the retainer pin and
sliding the roller bed sideways.
10. Loosen the bolt to rotate the bag tray to position within easy reach of operator and tighten the locking bolt to secure in position.
11. Place bags on the tray and secure under the guide.
12. Reattach weight cells on the bagging jaws if machine was transported prior to operation. Remove bolts from transport brackets,
then reinstall weights. Secure weight cell bolts. Do not excessively tighten, as this may damage the weight cells.
