WARNING: Interlocks and safety devices were installed on this unit for your
p r o t e c t i o n . Never disable or bypass any interlock or safety device. Failure to
comply with this warning could result in serious injury or death.
TO MAKE A BALE :
1. Feed material into baler. If starting a new bale, place a large flat piece of
material flat on the baler floor. NOTE: Do not attempt to overfill the feed
chamber by forcing material into the chamber with the feed gate. This can cause
gate release malfunction and may damage baler.
2. Pull gate handle down to close feed gate. NOTE: Check red warning light
before closing feed gate. If gate is open and light is on, discontinue use of the
baler and call for service.
3. To start the baler, insert the key into the keyswitch and turn to the ON
position.
4. Press the AUTOCYCLE button. The platen will make a complete cycle down
and back up. When the platen is in the full up position, the feed gate will
automatically open and the motor will automatically shutdown.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the platen stops in the down position, and the
“BALE MADE” light comes on.
NOTE: In normal operation, the feed gate will be open when you walk up to
place material into the baler. For added security, the feed gate can be manually
closed after the AUTOCYCLE(S). To open the gate, you will have to insert the
key into the keyswitch and run the baler through a complete AUTOCYCLE.
