Operating instructions and part catalogue, BALE WRAPPING MACHINE, TWISTER MAINTENANCE General maintenance instructions Warning! Stop the engine, remove the key from the ignition and execute parking brake before attempting any adjustments, maintenance actions or lubrication, of the machine. Check all screws and nuts regularly; tighten when necessary. The torque values applied when tighten- ing up (in Nm) have been presented in the listing below if not especially indicated.
Operating instructions and part catalogue, BALE WRAPPING MACHINE, TWISTER Lubrication The diagram presents the wrapping machine lubrication spots. The regular lubrication is nec- essary to ensure the long and failure-free operating. All components provided with grease fittings should be lubricated routinely : Fig.
Driving chains The bale wrapping machine TWISTER, is provided with two driving chains that need routine lubrication and require tensioning. They are located in the wrapping machine table, on the LH side of the machine, under a shield. They provide the drive for the cylinders rotating the bales.
Due to the installation of the hydraulic distributor equipped with proportional valve which is very sensible to pollu- tions, it is necessary to ensure an additional oil filtration. For this, the TWISTER wrapping machine is equipped with a pressure oil filter (1). It is situated under distributor cover, on the LH side of the machine. It ensures filtra- tion of the level of 12 µm.
