4. Once 'Stack Configuration' is set up, click 'Auto Mode' (
Fig. 1
2
). This will start the
process of getting the Transtacker ready for collecting bales. The following functions
will start to open:
a. Side Gates
b. Rear Clamps
c. Guide Bar
d. Grab Arm
e. Forks Forward and Raise
f. The Pickup will drop to desire height.
Note
:
After these function have finished completely, the Transt
acker is now 'Live' this
means that you can now start collecting bales with the following instructions.
You will be
presented with the st
andard 'Auto Mode' scree
n. Here you will be able to keep track of
what layer you are on
(Fig. 18).
Note:
If you already have layers stacked, when you go into 'Auto Mode' it will not unfold
the machine as it needs to secure bales. For this, you need to open the above stated
functions manually, see
Section 5.12 Getting Started Manually.
WARNING
: Keep persons away from the machine while operating. There
is a danger from falling bales and moving machinery. 'Auto Mode' is an
automatic function and will cause injury or damage if not used correctly and
in an open space. Use 'Emergency Button' if there is any chance of
causing damage or injury (
Fig.
19
).
WARNING
: When the machine has been activated into 'Auto Mode' and is
now 'Live', beware that if certain sensors are triggered, this may cause
areas of the Transtacker to become active and start to move. When you
are in 'Auto' mode, stay inside your tractor cab and make sure no other
personnel is standing within moving parts of the Transtacker.
Caution
: It is important that the tractor engine is turning fast enough to
maintain a full flow of oil to the machine during automatic cycles. Select a
gear that is best suited to engine rpm and the distance between the bales.
There is no theoretical limit to the speed at which bales can be picked up
but damage may occur above (7.5 mph) 12kph.

5. Drive along side the first bale. (Select a bale that is on flat ground). Drive towards
a bale aiming the bale within the 'Jaw' of the 'Grab Arm' (
Fig. 2
0
).
5.1. Drive forward until the Bump Paddle is compressed (
Fig. 2
1
). This will trigger the
'Bale Detect - Pickup' Sensor on the 'Bump Paddle' and will automatically bring in the
'Grab Arm'. The 'Grab Arm' will help put the bale parallel tight up against the
'Pickup' (
Fig. 2
2
).
6. Once step 5 has been completed, the 'Auto Mode' will proceed automatically in the
following order;
6.1. The 'Pickup Tines' will insert while the 'Grab Arm' is still closed. Once inserted,
the 'Grab Arm' will release and open.
6.2. The 'Pickup' will pick the bale and place it on the 'Turntable', where the
'Hooks' will insert allowing the 'Pickup' to return to its original position.
6.3. When the 'Pickup' has filled the 'Turntable' with the correct amount of bales. The
'Bale Detect - Turntable Full' sensor will be triggered, automatically placing the bales
on the 'Platform' according to your chosen 'Stack Configuration' (
Fig. 2
3
). The 'Side
Gates' will open and close automatically when the 'Turntable' is in motion to always
ensure that the stack on the 'Platform' is secured.
Note
: When the 'Turntable' is placing the bales on the platform, while this is
functioning, you
can
start to pickup a 3rd bale with the pickup. The pickup will hold the
3rd bale a
t
90 degrees until the 'turntable' is back in its home position. Then the pickup
will automatically place the 3rd bale on the ready 'Turntable'.
6.4. For every layer that is placed onto the 'Platform', the 'Forks' will be pushed back
automatically supporting the rear end layer.
6.5. When all layers have been placed, the 'Bale Detect - Bed Full' sensor will be
triggered showing the Transtacker is full (
Fig. 2
4
) which will automatically place the
Transtacker into 'Road Mode' (
Fig. 2
5
).
Caution
: For any reason you need to exit 'Auto Mode', press button F or G or H (
Fig.
1
4
). Another option would be to depress the '
Operator Pressure Switch
' (
Fig. 1
0
).
Caution
: Encase of an emergency in 'Auto Mode', press the 'Emergency
Button' (
Fig.
19
).
