Continue wrapping the the bales in the row, Save the third bale for the finish bale. 7. At the end of the row pickup and load the finish bale on the wrapper the normal way. Try to avoid poking any holes in the plastic Rather try to locate the spears of the forks under the bale, It is recommended to not move the finish bale until ready to load on wrapper to avoid chances to damaging the wrap. You can load the second and the fourth bale onto the wrapper anytime it is convenient for you, you do not need to remove the wrap. Those two bales are only dummies to be able to have wrap overhanging the ends of the first and finish bales. 18

19 Loading Plastic on Machine 1. Make sure Engine is stopped and machine has come to a complete stop. 2. Open Hoop guard on the left side of machine. 3. Remove safety pin and compress roll rod to remove empty core. (as shown Figure 13 ) Figure 13: Remove Lock Pin Figure 14: New Roll Figure 15: Loading Plastic Figure 16: Feeding Plastic Thru Rollers 4. Remove cone. Discard core of plastic roll. 5. Slide new roll on the shaft and right cone, replace left cone, compress roll rod and fit over pins on chain hoop, replace lock pin. ( as shown Figure 14 and 15) 6. Pull a few feet of plastic out towards you. 7. Put the loose end of the plastic around the outside of roller then on top of the first roll and feed the loose end out between the first and second roll, by slightly rolling the rolls. (Figure 16) 8. Repeat steps till all desired rolls are filled, close hoop guard door. 19

20 Starting Plastic on Bales 1. Set Auto/Manual switch to MANUAL Position. 2. Pull 4 ft of plastic out of dispenser by reaching behind control box. (Figure 17) 3. Tie plastic to rod on back of control box (Figure 18) and rotate hoop by using switch on the control box until the hoop brings the plastic around and holds the end of the plastic.

By turning on and holding both the hoop forward and the web forward switches, you can wrap bales. Try to wrap the first 5-7 bales with the hoop at full speed. 7. Turn wrapper into automatic mode (see Wrapping in Automatic mode page 21) 20

21 Setting Amount of Layers of Plastic 1. You can adjust the amounts of layers of plastic by Adjusting the Hoop speed adjustment knob, (see Control Panel on Page 11) Turning the Knob CLOCKWISE increases the amount of layers of plastic applied and turning the knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE decreases the amount of layers of plastic applied to the bales. It is recommended to do NO less than 8 layers on Silage (wet) Hay and no less than 2 or 3 layers on dry hay. Setting the Electric Eyes 1. Set the bales on wrapper as shown, make sure to set the bales on top of the riser tube as indicated by arrow #1. 2. Set the electronic eyes on back edge of bale, as indicated by arrow # If after adjusting the electric eyes you should be forced to set the bale on top of riser tube not behind it. Make adjustments as needed so that the bale can not be set behind the riser tube. 4. Use the decals on the side of the machine as a guide to position the electric eyes. Wrapping in Automatic Mode 1. When the plastic is started and you are ready to wrap continuous. 2. Adjust the Sensor Eyes to the desired bale length.

22 Wrapping with Film Sense 1. Start Wrapping bales as instructed in starting plastic on bales. Pg Turn on Film Sense mode by switching on Film Sense switch, Green light directly above switch should come on. 3. This should now sense when one or more rolls of plastic tear or empty. 4. If this feature does not work, you may have to adjust the length of the sensor wire. STOP ENGINE AND WAIT FOR THE WRAPPER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE PROCEED- ING. Sensor wire must be adjusted so that only one layer of plastic is covering the end of the wire while wrapping. If the Wrapper does NOT stop when a plastic roll tears or empties, Shorten the rod slightly by loosening screw and moving wire in, If the wrapper does not RUN in this mode you must lengthen the wire slightly, by loosening screw and moving wire out. Figure 19: Film Sense Switch 5. REMEMBER, STOP ENGINE AND WAIT FOR THE WRAPPER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS 22

23 Steering While Wrapping 1. Wrapper may be steered manually by removing Tongue holdup pin and using tongue to steer Manually, REMEMBER, NEVER STEER UNIT MANUALLY WHEN USING SELF- PROPELLED OPTION. 2.

Figure 20: Remote Control 23

24 Loading Last Bale 1. When loading last bale, use bale wrapped for the finish bale or use end cap. If possible load position the forks underneath the bale to avoid any holes in the Plastic, Position bale same as normal. 2. If using end cap, pickup bale as normal, strip end cap over the bale as you did the first bale, Then set end cap down on the ground. 3. Now pickup the end bale from the closed end of the end cap positioning the forks underneath the bale, load bale with open end against previous bale. ( Figure 21) Figure 21: Last Bale Loaded 24

25 Pushing Off Last Bale of the Row 1. Manually wrap the bales until approximately ½ to ¾ down the web deck. 2. Switch the Automatic/Manual Switch to System Manual, 3. Assemble the push bar and the push bar stand using supplied pin, (Figure 22) 4. Slide on web attachment onto the push bar. 5. Position push bar onto the web deck with the push bar stand centered on the deck and the push bar plate against the bale. 6. Slide the web attachment to the first web slat that is flat on deck, Attach to the web by pulling up the 2 small pull pins and firmly positioning and latching to the web slat. 7. Manually push on the end of the push bar tube to tightly position the push plate against the bale. 8. Manually Wrap the last bales till the last bale is halfway through the hoop or the wrap will no longer stay on bale, Note: It is very important that the Plastic curls over the edge of the bale for a better seal. 9. Cut plastic. 10. Once the bales are off the web, you can reverse the web until you can reach the web attachment from the front of the wrapper, then remove the web attachment, add the extension pole and repeat steps 3 thru With 1 or 2 more bites you can push the bales completely off the rollers, or if you wish, after step 7 you can keep pushing until the bale is thru the hoop and off the spears, pull the wrapper away and lift the tailgate and back into the bales to make sure there is no air gaps on the last few bales. 12. Lift tail gate all the way up. Fasten Lock bar, 13. Lower hitch by reversing the setup Procedure. Figure 22: Assembled Push Bar 25

26 Service Schedule Every 8 Hours of Operation 1. Grease Idler wheels on Hoop 2. Oil Chains with a light duty penetrating oil 3. Oil Dispenser gear and the bushing on both ends of dispenser rolls with a light duty penetrating oil 4. Lightly grease Self-Propelled wheel gear 5. Check tire Pressure Every 100 hours of Operation 1. Grease all drive line bearings with 2-3 pumps of Grease 2. Grease Brake pivot bearings 3. Change Hydraulic filters 4. Check Hydraulic fluid Level 5. Service Honda Engine According to Manufacturer s Specs Once a Year 1. Grease Ramp roller bearings 2. Remove Clean and grease wheel bearings 26

27 Wrapping Tips 1. Avoid Steep Inclines or Declines, Level ground works best. 2. Avoid loose soil, mud, or anything that could cause the Wrapper to sink. 3. Try to Wrap in a straight line. Wrapping around Curves will cause one side of bale to be tight and the other side to stand away, causing air pockets and possible spoilage. 4. Recommended layers plastic using 1 mil thickness. Recommended 8 layers plastic using 1.5 mil thickness. 5. KEMCO recommends 1.5 mil thickness plastic, especially for big square bales. Plastic 1.5 mil thick will not let stem poke thru the plastic as quickly and also will not tear as easily in hot weather. The cost per bale is the same for a supply of 1.5 mil plastic. 6. Our Kemco wrapper can wrap up to 6 6 bales, however by reducing bale size you will get better wrapped hay. (5 round bales and 6 square bales will give great results) 7. Successful silage can be made over a wide moisture range. (30 to 70% moisture) In general 40 to 55% moisture makes the best silage hay. 8. Run rows of wrapped hay North and South 9. Kemco wrappers let you start second row with a loaded machine by lifting tailgate with bales still on machine. (Figure 23) Figure 23: Ready to Start Second Row 27
