: The machine must be at Bale Position 0 before starting a new cycle or swapping relay boards.

: Keep hydraulic systems clean and repair leaks immediately to prevent contamination. Standard Sequence of Events

: The hydraulic return line must be connected directly to the tractor's tank to ensure zero back pressure , which is the most common cause of Strap Guide Arm failures. Threading Steel Strapping Correct threading is vital for consistent bundling.

: Use the red-handled clamp to secure the strap. Do not adjust this clamp while the hydraulic power is off, as it can damage the assembly. Monitoring & Maintenance

: Inside the electrical boxes, red LEDs indicate active inputs. For example, photo eye LEDs (inputs #10, 11, and 12) stay on when no bale is present.

: Always disengage the hydraulic supply before approaching the machine for maintenance. The emergency shut-off is an electrical switch and should not be solely relied upon for physical safety.

: Bales are sequentially loaded into the stacking chamber.

: Modern units (v 2.2 and above) are computer-operated via the iBand-It app , which links to the machine via Bluetooth to monitor bale positions and settings.
