time, and depending on the gradient of the ground, you may need a gap up to 0.3m at the bottom of
the stack in order for the stack to be vertical and tight at the top.
5.4.3 Auto Open
‘
Auto-Open
’
has two purposes. Firstly, the auto function can be used to release the stack rather than
doing it manually, as instructed in
section 5.4.1. The ‘Auto
-
Open’ function
automatically carries out all
those operations.
Secondly, should you wish to retrieve a stack, you can use the
‘
Auto-Open
’
function to fully open the
trailer while the platform is down on the Stops and before raising the platform.
Figure 43: Two ways to start 'Auto-Open' Sequence
The ‘Auto
-
Open’ function is located in ‘
Stack Mode
’, which can be accessed two ways
. You can either
hold down the top left button and push forward
or
hold down the bottom left button and pull the
joystick backwards (Figure 43).
It’s advised that if you use this function, you need to be confident the stack is vertical a
nd secure
before releasing it. If there are any doubts with stack stability, follow section 5.4.1 where you can
manually release the stack in stages. To cancel the auto function when selected by either option,
simply move the joystick in any direction.
5.4.4 Stack Side by Side
To stack side by side, either side gate can be lowered to enable closer placing of stacks. Removal of
either side gate pin is required (see section 6.1.1), however do not lower the side gate until the trailer
is tipped to approximately 45
degrees. This will ensure all the bales are secure by inter layer friction.
Once the trailer is tipped halfway and the side gate has been opened, manoeuvre the stack into
position before raising the platform fully. Remember the machine will roll back a fraction when the
machine fully tips.
