- Your automatic machine needs a 12 volt DC power to operate. Connect
the battery cable to the battery terminals of your tractor: RED
clip to the POSITIVE (+) terminal and BLACK clip to the NEGATIVE
(-) terminal.
- Some tractors use two 6-volt batteries. TO make sure your system
gets 12 volts of power, connect the BLACK clip of the battery cable
to the CHASSIS of the tractor and connect the RED clip to the POSITIVE
output terminal of the alternator.
- Level the cotton: use the valve levers to manually level the cotton
in the builder.
- Turn the switch of the Controller Unit to RUN. The indicator labeled,
"POWER", on the front panel of the controller will light
and an eight-second warning beep will sound, after which the automatic
tamping process will begin. The machine will start the tamping process
by doing three strokes then the bridge will move one step toward
the rear of the builder, after that it will tamp two strokes and
move one more step. After completing the two-stroke move, each of
the subsequent step will be followed with one stroke, until the
bridge reaches the end of the module builder. From the end of the
builder, the three-two-one stroke sequence mentioned above will
start all over again as the bridge steps toward the front end. The
length of step on the first trip toward the end of the builder is
approximately twice the normal length. The height of each stroke
is reduced every time the bridge reaches an end of the builder.
The reduction in stroke height continues until the minimum height
is reached.
- The movement of bridge and the tamping process continue until
the selector switch is turned to OFF position
- If you start the machine by turning the switch from OFF to TURBO,
it will start tamping with the shortest tamping height. You normally
do this if the cotton in the builder has been tamped before and
you want to continue tamping after an interruption.
