4.6 CONTROLS
Before starting to operate the
extractor to unload a bag, all
operators should fami l iarize
themselves with the location and
function of the controls.
1.Raise/Lower:
This 3 position spring-loaded
to center-neutral lever con-
trols the fow of oil to the
frame cylinders. Pull on the
lever and hold to extend the
cylinders and raise the gath-
ering head. Push and hold
to retract the gathering head
into its working position.
Release the lever and it will
return to its center-neutral
position.
2.Discharge Auger Swing:
This 3 position spring-loaded to center-neutral
lever controls the fow of oil to the discharge
auger swing hydraulic drive motor. Pull on the
center lever and hold to swing the auger to the
right. Push and hold to swing to the left. Release
the lever and it will return to its center-neutral
position.
3.Right/Left:
This 3 position lever controls the fow of oil to
the motors on the wheels and gathering rolls.
Pull on the lever and place it into detent to power
the drives and move the Extractor into the bag.
Push and place into detent to reverse the drives
and back out of the bag. Move the lever to its
center position to stop the drives.
4.Flow Control Valve:
This manually-set fow divider allows the opera-
tor to set the fow through the driving circuit from
0% to 100% by dumping the excess fow back
to the tractor. A scale on the face of the valve is
numbered from0 to 10 to defne the percent fow
from 0% to 100% fowing into the circuit. The
bag roller and wheel drive circuits are equipped
with a fow divider so the operator can adjust
the moving speed appropriate for the operat-
ing conditions. Loosen the lock and move the
pointer arm to the desired position. Tighten the
lock bolt. Adjust in small increments as a small
change can result in a large change to moving
speed.

5.Relief Pressure:
This rotary valve sets the relief pressure in the
wheel drive circuit. The best performance is
obtained when the relief pressure is set for 700
to 1500 psi. Use the adjacent gauge to monitor
the system pressure.
6.Pressure Gauge:
This gauge displays the pressure in the driving
circuit. Use in conjunction with the relief setting
valve to set the system pressure.
7.Hydraulic Controls:
Use only the tractor hydraulic circuits that are
designed with a detent. Place the lever in detent
to provide a steady fow of oil to the circuits.
NOTE
When hooking the machine to the trac-
tor, place the circuit in detent. Pull on
the Raise/Lower control lever. It should
lower the gathering head frame to the
ground for correct machine operation. If
it does not, place control in neutral and
reverse hose hook-up or move the lever
to the other side to reverse the direction
of oil fow.
