2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TANCO AUTOWRAP Ltd does not take the responsibility for damages that may occur on
machine, persons or other equipment, because of the machine NOT being used as described in
this manual, or because of the safety precautions NOT being followed.
2.1 SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
Before using the machine, make sure that all guards and covers are securely fitted. The machine
must not be operated if a function does not work as described later in this manual. (See chapter
2.5).
2.2 BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATIONS OF THE MACHINE.
If you are unsure how to operate the machine properly, either use of or maintenance to your Mini
Wrap, please contact your Mini Wrap dealer.
2.3 ADJUSTMENTS’ / MAINTENANCE.
Turn off the tractor and discharge the oil pressure before performing any adjustment or
maintenance on the machine. Remember that a well-maintained machine is a safe machine.
2.4 IMPORTANT!
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY IS INSIDE
THE MACHINE’S WORKING AREA WHEN IT’S IN USE.
THE MACHINE MUST NEVER BE OPERATED BY PERSONS WHOM DOES NOT KNOW
ENOUGH ABOUT HOW TO SAFELY OPERATE THE MACHINE, OR BY PERSONS
UNDER 16 YEARS OF AGE.
.
SAFETY DISTANCE IS 5 METRES

2.5 DANGEROUS AREAS.
TANCO AUTOWRAP Ltd has given the safety to the operator the highest priority, but it is still
impossible to secure oneself of every danger area on the machine. Therefore we will now go
through some of the dangers that can occur when using the Mini Wrap bale wrapper.
1. Be especially aware of the rotating turntable. There is a danger of being squeezed
between the turntable and the main frame.
Tanco Autowrap 404 S/M
Operator’s manual
2. When the wrapping of a bale is complete and tipped off the machine, the turntable
has to be tipped back before wrapping next bale. When the middle frame with
turntable is lowered, there is a squeeze danger between the middle frame and the
main frame on both sides and in the back end of the machine. Keep therefore hands
and feet at a safe distance. (Fig. 2-2).
3. When tipping the turntable, the bale will roll free off the machine. Staying behind the
machine can cause danger for “overrunning” by the bale when it rolls off. Make
therefore sure that nobody is behind the machine when unloading.
2.6 WHILE WRAPPING.
Please keep your hands on the controller during the wrapping prosess.
The machine is to stand horizontally while the wrapping takes place. Make sure that nobody
comes into the working area of the machine.
2.7 TRANSPORTING.
When transported on a public road there are certain safety measures that must be taken:
1. Make sure that the machine does not cover the tractors’ lights. If necessary, mount extra
lights.
2. Always transport the machine with the turntable in transport position. Hydraulic hoses
must be disconnected under transport.
3. Always transport the machine in the lowest possible position.
4. Make sure that at least 20% of the tractor’s total weight is on the steering wheels.

3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION ON BALE WRAPPING.
3.1 THE PRINCIPLE.
The advantages of round/square bale silage are many, and include fewer feed units, a flexible
harvesting system, large capacity and the possibility of selling feed units.
In principle, the same fermentation processes occur whether the fodder is placed in a silo or
pressed into bales and packed in plastic, i.e. lactic acid fermentation in anaerobic conditions. The
oxygen in the bale must be exhausted before fermentation begins.
The grass should be dried to approximately 30-40% solid content. The solid content can be
determined by twisting the grass by hand. If drops of liquid are forced out of the grass, the solid
content is less than 25%. Low solid content, (wet grass), can lead to increased butyric acid
fermentation if preservatives are not added to the grass. If the solid content is too high, (over
50%), normal fermentation will not take place and there will be enough oxygen in the bale to
produce mould fungus.
3.2 THE BALER.
It is vital that the baler produces compact, well-formed bales, as misshapen bales can be difficult
to wrap. Wrapping will also often take longer, thereby increasing the amount of plastic used.
3.3 TYPES OF PLASTIC.
A good type of plastic with good adhesive properties, and which is recommended for bale
wrapping, must be used. The thickness of the plastic film should be at least 25 micron.
(25/1,000 mm). In order that the plastic tightens sufficiently around the bale, it is stretched
before being wrapped, so it is somewhat thinner when it is put on the bale. With short-term
storage, (up to eight weeks), it is recommended that bales have a minimum of four layers of
plastic at the thinnest points, with at least 52-53% overlap.
For long-term storage, or when the grass is wet when it is wrapped, the bale should have Six
layers of plastic applied, and the same amount of overlap. If thinner plastic is used, more layers
should be applied. If it is very hot the plastic will be stretched further, and more layers should be
applied. It is better to have slightly too much than too little plastic on the bale.
From experience, light coloured plastic produces slightly lower temperatures within the bale, and
tends to improve feed quality.
3.4 STORAGE LOCATION.
Care should be taken in finding a suitable location for the storage of bales. The storage location
should preferably be prepared before the bales are laid out. An elevation close to well-drained
roads is recommended. If the wrapped bales are simply placed on stubble there is a danger of the
plastic being pierced. A tarpaulin or a thin layer of sand should therefore be laid where the bales
are to be stored over the winter.
Bales should be stored in the shade as far as possible. This reduces the danger of air leakage in
the bales. A bale that is stored in sunlight and which therefore undergoes greater swings in
temperature “pumps ins’ a great deal of air in comparison to a bale which is stored in the shade.
According to ~‘Teknik for Lantbruket” [Technology for Agriculture] in Sweden, a bale which is
stored in the shade has only 40% of the air leakage of a bale which is stored in sunlight.
3.5 STACKING I PROTECTION.
If bales are hard and well formed, they can be stacked vertically, but loose and misshapen bales
with low solid content should not be stacked higher than one layer, as this could easily cause
deformity and the danger of runoff will be increased.
Bales can also be stored on their sides. The layer of plastic is thicker here, providing greater
protection against piercing.
Bales should be covered with a tarpaulin or a fine-mesh net to protect against birds and small
8
Tanco Autowrap 404 S/M
Operator’s manual
rodents. If the plastic is pierced, it must be sealed with weatherproof, hard-wearing tape,
preferably under the outermost layer of plastic. Ensure that the hole is adequately sealed.
3.6 The best wrapping results are obtained by...
1.
. . . Harvesting the grass early.
2. ...Drying it out to 30-40% solid content. If there is a danger of rain, bale and wrap the
grass anyway.
3. ...Taking care not to mix any earth in with the grass.
4. ...Using a baler which produces even, firm bales.
5. ...Wrapping the bales soon after baling, never later than two hours afterwards.
6.
. . .Using a good type of plastic and six layers of plastic. This removes the need to use
preservatives.
7. ...Storing bales in the shade to reduce the danger of air leakage.

4.0 SETTING UP / MOUNTING OF THE MACHINE.
4.1 Mounting the Lower link pins.
Attach the lower link pins to the machine and tighten the nuts.
4.3 Mount the Film Dispenser.
Adjust the height on the Dispenser so that the middle of the plastic meets with the bale’s center.
4.4 Mount the safety arm to the Chassis
4.5 Lubricate the machine.
4.6 Check that all the bolts and nuts are tightened.
4.8 Connect the machine to the tractors three point linkage.
4.9 HYDRAULIC CONNECTION.
The hydraulic hoses between machine and tractor are equipped with 1/2’ ISO male quickcouplers. Discharge the oil pressure before you connect the oil hoses. Use the tractors’ hydraulic
lever. Connect the hoses so that the turntable rotates counterclockwise.
To make sure that the bale wrapper works properly, the tractors’ oil pressure has to be at least
100 bar. If you are unsure of what oil pressure the tractor gives, or what oil pressure the bale
wrapper receives, please contact your machinery dealer.
NB! When connected to a tractor with closed center (e.g. JOHN DEERE) a special, closed centers,
plug must be fitted to the valve to prevent the oil over heating (See section 13.0 and consult your
dealer ).
4.10 CHECK LIST.
Before using the machine it is recommended to follow this check list:
1. Make it a habit to discharge the oil-pressure before connection or disconnection of the
hydraulic hoses. (Use the tractors hydraulic control lever).
2. Hose with BLUE CAP
3. Hose with RED CAP
4. Tie up loose hoses so that no squeeze damages occur.
5. Start the tractor and try out the functions. (It should rotate counterclockwise).
6. Check all connections, hoses and couplings. If there is any oil-leakage, it should be
rectified immediately.
Your MINI WRAP bale wrapper has been tested in practical operation in approx. 2 hours
at the factory.

5.0 MOUNTING OF THE PLASTIC FILM
Tanco Autowrap 404 S/M
Operator’s manual
5.1 When loading a plastic roll, first push back the Stretch rollers (3) until held in position by
locking catch (4). Then loosen locking bolt (1) and raise top cone (2) and lock in raised position.
5.2 Place a roll of film on to the Dispenser. Drop the top cone down and apply pressure to the top of
the shaft to compress the spring and allow the locking bolt to close one of the grooves in the
shaft.
Pull the film between the rollers on the pre-stretcher in the direction of the arrow. (See fig. 5-2).
5.3
(See also the sticker on the dispenser).
5.4
Release the locking catch and allow the rollers to lie against the roll of film. Pull the film from
the roll and tie it to the bale.
5.5 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF DISPENSER/ PLASTIC FILM.
It is important that the plastic film is applied to the center of the bale, and therefore it can be
necessary to adjust the height of the Dispenser. The Dispenser may be adjusted to different
heights. Disconnect the locking bolt, and adjust the dispenser so that the plastic hits in the
middle of the bale. Replace the locking bolt and the splint.
The Tanco film Dispenser supplied with all 404 machine is capable of using several different
sizes of film rolls. 500 mm, 360 mm and 250 mm plastic film can all be used but care must be
taken that the correct level of overlap is used as you need turntable roller speeds for different
films. (see also 6.4 Overlap)
11
Tanco Autowrap 404 S/M
Operator’s manual
5.6 Tanco Dual stretch Film Dispenser
Some Tanco Autowrap machines can optionally be fitted with a patented dual stretch gear
system.
This system enables a quick change of stretch levels on the Film Dispenser.
If the bolt (1) is fitted in position 2, the bottom set of gears provide the stretch (70%).
By removing the bolt from position 2 and fitting it in position 3, the top set of gears become the
stretch gears giving 32% (for prestretched film) or optionally 55% (for use in hotter climates or
with square bales).

6.0 ADJUSTMENT / OPERATING.
6.1 SUPPORT ROLLERS.
Place the bale you want to wrap on top of the rollers. Move the support rollers as tight to the bale
as possible. Make sure that the bale is in center of the rollers.
6.2 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF DISPENSER.
The Dispenser can be placed in different positions. Disconnect the locking bolt, and adjust the
pre-stretcher so that the plastic hits in the middle of the bale. Replace the locking bolt and the
splint.
6.3 Operating the RDS control box
See chapter 8
6.4 REVOLUTION SPEED OF TURNTABLE.
Start the machine by operating the lever inside the tractor. All 404’s are equipped with an
adjustable valve on the outlet from the main valve block to the motor. Screw in to reduce
turntable speed. Adjust this until the turntable speed is approx. 22 revolutions per minute (Just
below 3 seconds per revolution) and lock the knob in position by tightening the allen-headed
screw on the knob.
6.5 OVERLAP.
To control the overlap, stop the machine after a few turns. Use a marker to mark a line on the
middle of the film wrapped on the bale. By the next turn this line should just be covered. It is now
possible to use ether the 500mm, 360mm or 250mm film on the MINI WRAP 404EH. The
machine is generally delivered set up for use with the 360mm film. Tanco recommend this size
of film for best results.
If using 250mm or 500 mm film, a special set of sprockets need to be fitted to the turntable
(inside the large chain guard) to maintain correct bale indexing speed. See parts books or contact
your dealer for advice. The chains from the turntable’s main shaft must be lengthened or
shortened as required to ensure correct chain tension. Note that these are twin sprockets. Fit
chain to larger sprocket for 250 mm film and on smaller for 500 mm film.

Tanco Autowrap 404 S/M
Operator’s manual
7.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTION.
We shall now go through a complete wrapping process, from loading to storage place, and
explain the practical use of the MINI WRAP 404.
7.1 LOADING.
On the 404 M/S machine t
7.2 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF DISPENSER.
The height of the pre-stretcher has to be adjusted so that the plastic film is always hitting the
middle of the bale. (See more about this in chapter 5.5 and 6.2).
7.3 TIPS ON WRAPPING SQUARE BALES.
The MINI WRAP 404EH is assembled for delivery with the rollers in the outer position. If the
bales to be wrapped are in some degree smaller than mean measure then the rollers must be
moved. (Optimally the film should meet the bale being wrapped in the middle.) The chain cover
must be removed, and the Rocking roller assembly moved either in or out. The chain length
must be adjusted so ensure the chain-tension is tightened before finally the bolts are replaced.
Remember that a hard and well packed bale will give the best result when wrapping.
7.4 START.
Remember that the plastic film end must be tied to the bale. This is normally only necessary on
the first bale. Operate the hydraulic lever carefully to make a gently start. To quick start can rip
off the plastic film, and then it has to be tied again.
The 404 M/S models are equipped with an AutoStop function, which enables semi-automatic
operation of the machine. Once the turntable has made one revolution the spool lever is held in
position by the bale counter until the preset number of rev.s has been achieved. The lever is then
automatically released and the turntable stops in the correct “Off-Loading” position.
7.5 OVERLAP.
Control that the overlap is correct. If not, see chapter 6.4.
7.6 HOW MANY LAYERS OF PLASTIC FILM?
When the bale is completely covered with film, read the counter that displays the number of
revolutions done by the turntable. If you don’t have a counter, you have to count the revolutions
yourself, (or you can measure the time it takes). This number has to be multiplied by 2 or 3,
depending on how many layers of film you want to have.
* 4 layers - multiply by 2.
* 6 layers - multiply by 3.
7.7 STOP / UNLOADING.
On an S machine the Film must be cut by hand and the Bale lifted off the machine.
On an M machine, tip up the tipping frame until the film is lying in the cut and start jaws.
Energize cut and start close until the film is gripped and cut. Continue tipping up until the bale
falls off the table.
7.8 NEW BALE.
Lower the turntable down again. Then place a new bale on top of the rollers, and attach the film
to the bale (404 S only), and start wrapping. Now the plastic film from the last should be cut off.
Fasten the film end, if necessary, with some weatherproof tape.
he Bale must be placed manually on the turntable.

9.0 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
.
9.1 BEARINGS.
All ball-bearings are packed with grease, and do not need any more maintenance.
9.2 DISPENSER.
The Gears under the plastic cover on the dispenser should be greased once a week or as
required.
9.3 CHAINS.
Oil the chains at regular intervals. Take them off once a year for cleaning and oiling. Soak the
chains in oil for 2-3 days and afterwards hang up for 10-12 hours to drain.
After some use, the chain from the motor to the turntable has to be adjusted. Unlock the nuts
on the motor bracket, and tighten up the adjustment.
DO NOT TIGHTEN TOO MUCH, CAUSE THIS WILL INCREASE THE WEARING
OF THE BEARINGS.
The chains on the square rollers also have to be adjusted. There is one chain tensioner on each
side.
9.4 GEAR.
The Bevel gears in the turntable’s center (below the cover) must be greased when required.
9.5 HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS.
Make sure that the hydraulic cylinder is closed when storing the machine.
9.6 CLEANING.
The machine should be cleaned and oiled regularly and by the end of the wrapping season.
NB! When using a steamer, you need to be careful with the electric equipment and bearings.
Keep the counter protected from rain or water.
9.7 QUICK COUPLERS.
Be careful to keep the quick couplers clean and apply the dust caps after use. The connecting
hoses are to be placed in the holders, on the side of the machine when not in use.
9.8 STORAGE.
The machine should be parked on a dry place during the closed season.

10.0 CHECK POINTS BEFORE TROUBLE SHOOTING.
In this chapter we have some general check points that have to be examined first if something is
wrong with the machine. In chapter 11.0 we have a more detailed trouble shooting.
There are two basic assumptions that have to be fulfilled if the machine shall function properly:
1. The oil pressure from tractor should be 180 bar.
2. The return flow of oil has to be as free as possible, max. 10 bar return pressure.
10.1 OIL PRESSURE.
In order to check that the oil pressure into the machine is high enough, fit a pressure gauge to
the oil pressure hose, for example on the quick coupler.
If the pressure is less than 180 bar (when energizing a function), there will be less power for the
functions.
OIL AMOUNT.
The oil amount that the tractor delivers must be minimum 15 liters/minute, (Max. allowed
oil amount is 45 litres/minute).
REMEMBER! Large oil amount
10.2 RETURN PRESSURE.
The return line pressure can be too high. With high return pressure the machine’s functions will
get less power. High return pressure means also that you need more power to operate the
valves.
MAX. ALLOWED RETURN PRESSURE IS 10 BAR.
If you are in doubt about the return pressure, arrange a “free return” directly to the tank.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALER IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT OF ANYTHING.
(Remember always to give your dealer the serial number and production year of your
machine when contacting dealer and when ordering spare parts).
= Valves get hot. (Small oil tank = insufficient cooling).

11.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING.
BEWARE OF MOVING PARTS WHEN TESTING THE MACHINE.
11.1 THE MACHINE DOES NOT WORK.
a) The gauge shows that there is enough pressure but there is no reaction from the
machine. The problem can be that one or both of the quick couplers are not opening to
let the oil through.
Change the quick couplers.
b) The return pressure may be to high.
Max. return pressure is 10 bar
11.2 THE TABLE WILL NOT ROTATE.
a) The safety valve on the motor, may be leaking, so that the oil passes the motor.
Disengage the valve and check that the piston moves freely.
b) Check if the oil motor is working.
Ask your dealer for advice BEFORE you make the error larger and more difficult
to repair.
11.3 LOAD ARM, TILT, TABLE OR CUTTER DOES NOT FUNCTION.
The cables have degraded, and must be replaced or there is a loose connection somewhere.
Consult your dealer.
11.4 RETURN OFF KNIFE CYLINDER.
PRESSURE SETTING THE ACCUMULATOR.
A. Drive the knife cylinder to closed position.
b. Remove plug from the diverter valve behind the accumulator.
c. Connect hose from
d. Open the knife with knife close function. (low pressure)
e. Connect hose back to knife cylinder
F. Test the knife.
G. If the knife dos not close, let out oil pressure on the return side of the knife cylinder
until the knife is closed
H. If the knife dose not open, the pressure on return side its to high.
11.5 THE KNIFE WILL NOT HOLD THE PLASTIC FILM.
Check the pressure in the accumulator, see chapter 11.4.

13.0 OPEN / CLOSED CENTRE CONVERSION
Most tractors are fitted with Open Centered Hydraulic systems. For this reason, our valves are set-up as
standard for open centers. However some tractors (e.g. John Deere) use closed centered systems.
Consult your dealer if you are unsure about your system requirements. To convert to closed centers a
plug must be changed in the valve block. This plug is located on the valve just beside the outlet (T
line). Remove the existing one and replace with closed center plug (Part No. Z01-03-A580J).
If you are likely to change frequently between open and closed centered hydraulic systems and special
plug incorporating a tap can be ordered. (Part No. 1008050- closed center tap plug). This is fitted in the
same position on the valve.
