MONTHLY  
1. Check external hoses for chafing, rubbing, leakage, or other deterioration and  
damage. Tighten all fittings as necessary. Check hydraulic cylinder, cylinder pin and  
bolts for signs of wear and fatigue.  
2. Check for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as operator obstructions, in baler  
area.  
3. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir.  
4. Lubricate the door hinge, and mechanical door lock with oil.  
5. Check magnetic interlock on feed gate for proper operation.  
6. Apply a light coating of all purpose grease in the feed gate tracks.  
7. Apply a light application of all purpose oil to the feed gate latch moving parts.  
8. Remove any pieces of materials on top of the platen.  
THREE MONTHS  
1. Check functional operation of controls and options (stop button, timers, lights, etc.).  
2. Check hydraulic cylinders, and hoses, for leakage, chafing and wear.  
ANNUALLY  
1. Replace the hydraulic fluid. See Recommended Oil (page 2-14).  
2. Electric motor bearings should be lubricated once a year.  
3. Clean the top of the power unit to remove the dirt build up.  
ANNUAL FILTER MAINTENANCE  
1.  
2.  
The hydraulic filter should be cleaned at regular annual intervals.  
The filter may be removed from the power unit through the cleanout cover in the top  
of the reservoir.  
3.  
4.  
Care should be exercised in cleaning the filter to insure that the element is not torn.  
Clean the element with a soft brush and standard industrial solvent.  
Replace the filter after cleaning and check fittings for tightness. Pump noise and a  
"crackle" sound is most often caused by air entering the pump suction line.  
Tightening the suction fittings will usually eliminate the problem.

2 MAINTENANCE  
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS:  
With the key switch in the ON position, and the bale door and feed gate closed, pressing the  
AUTOCYCLE push button will cause the machine to operate one complete cycle. Pressing the  
AUTOCYCLE switch closes three sets of contacts: (1) energizes Relay 1, (2) energizes Relay  
2, (3) energizes the motor starter coil. With the motor running, oil is supplied to the subplate and  
directional control valve. With Relay 1 energized, oil is directed to the base end of the cylinders  
and causes the platen to move in the downward direction. The platen will move in the  
downward direction until enough pressure is detected by the pressure switch to de-energize  
Relay 1 and shift the directional control valve to direct the oil to the rod end of the cylinders and  
start the platen moving in the upward direction. When the platen raises high enough to catch  
and open the feed gate, the control voltage in the magnetic interlock switch is broken and  
deenergizes the motor starter and the power unit shuts down. When the motor starter is  
deenergized, an auxiliary contact de-energizes Relay 2.  
When Relay 2 energizes, a contact is closed to start Timer 1. Timer 1 is used to shut the power  
unit down if the pressure switch never opens by either: (1) not enough pressure, or (2) by  
malfunction. Timer 1 sets at 50 seconds. If Timer 1 times out, Relay 2 is de-energized which  
deenergizes the motor starter coil. When the motor starter is de-energized, it also de-energizes  
Relay 1, and the power unit shuts down.  
When enough material has been compacted in the bale chamber to stop the platen while  
holding the limit switch in the open position, and the pressure switch actuates, Relay 2 will  
deenergize. When Relay 2 de-energizes, the motor starter coil will de-energize, the power unit  
will shut down, and the BALE MADE LIGHT will come on.  
NOTE: When the BALE MADE LIGHT comes on, it is time to tie the bale. See Bale Tie Off  
instructions on page 1-7.

After the electrical connections are complete, check motor rotation by the  
following:  
MOTOR ROTATION APPLIES TO THREE PHASE UNITS ONLY.  
a. Close bale chamber door and feed gate.  
b. Turn disconnect switch to the ON position.  
c. Have someone turn ON the keyswitch and depress the AUTO-  
CYCLE button for one second and then immediately depress the  
EMERGENCY STOP button. Check motor rotation by watching the  
hub coupling through the slot in the pump-to-motor adapter. There  
is a rotation decal on the power unit showing correct rotation. In the  
event that this decal is missing, look at the hub coupling from the  
motor end. Rotation should be clockwise.  
CAUTION: If the pump rotates backward, STOP IMMEDIATELY!  
The pump will be damaged if it is operated in reverse even for  
short periods. Reversing any two incoming power lines will change  
the motor/pump rotation.

3.  
With the platen fully raised, check to be sure the oil reservoir is filled to the 3/4  
level on the sight gauge (Refer to page 2-14 for hydraulic oil recommendations).  
The hydraulic system pressure has been factory set.  
The baler is equipped with an electrical interlock which prevents the use of  
the AUTOCYCLE and MANUAL DOWN functions when the feed gate is in the up  
position. If either of these buttons start the baler when the feed gate is up,  
discontinue use of the baler until repairs have been made.  
4.  
MAKE SURE THAT THE OPERATORS ARE TRAINED IN THE  
PROPER USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
