1. Using the brake control and gauges (page 10, controls items #1 and #7 and gauges items #8 and
#15) set the brake pressure on all wheels to approximately 40psi.
2. Check Anchor Float switch (page 8 item #9) to make sure it is in the OFF position.
3. Using the established communications procedure start the product moving into the bag.
4. If the Ag-Bagger
®
has an Inoculant applicator start it now.
5. Monitor the loads placed into the bags. When you have bagged between 20 - 30 tons of product turn
the Anchor Float switch ON (page 8 item #9) and lower wheel brake pressure to 20 psi. Watch the
Anchor Float Gauge (page 14) when the gauge reaches 6 - 10 feet (this setting depends on the condi-
tion of crop, the wetter the crop the less amount of cable should be out) turn the Anchor Float switch
OFF. Reduce wheel brake pressure to 10 psi after turning switch off.
6. Anchor pressure readings. After turning the Anchor Float off maintain the Anchor pressure at 500-
1000 psi for Corn and 1200-1600 for all other crops. Use the gauge on page 4.16 item #3 to monitor this
pressure. The amount of pressure is controlled by feeding out more cable to increase the amount of
drag/pressure and pulling in cable to lower the drag/pressure. These pressure readings will vary de-
pending on the moisture in the product being bagged. It is very important that you continually monitor
the pressure to make sure they remain in the range specified.
