– Disengage hydraulic power and unplug main power cord. Wait for approximately 10 seconds, plug back in and engage hydraulic power.
Note: After the machine has retracted the Horizontal Plunger cylinder, the Horizontal Plunger reed switch should be lined up with a set of magnets, which turns the switch on. This is what the machine is waiting for.
If the Horizontal Plunger cylinder is fully retracted,
– Check the air gap distance between the Horizontal Plunger reed switch and the magnet. The distance should be a maximum of 3/8 inch (9 mm). If it is within the suggested range then the reed switch needs to be replaced.
If the Horizontal Plunger cylinder is partially retracted,
– Check that a bale or foreign object is not preventing the Vertical Plunger cylinder from retracting.
– Hydraulic power or hydraulic return has been disconnected or shut off from machine. This circuit has a 2-position valve and cannot be partially extended unless power or return has been disconnected or shut off.
If the Horizontal Plunger cylinder is still extended,
– Check that hydraulic power is still on to the machine and that return line is still connected.
– Check that a bale or foreign object is not preventing the Horizontal Plunger cylinder from retracting.
– Check that the directional valve is not stuck.
Note: Before the machine retracts the Horizontal Plunger cylinder, the Horizontal Plunger reed switch is in front of the first set of magnets. When the machine retracts the Horizontal Plunger cylinder it moves the first magnet away from the switch, which turns the Horizontal Plunger reed switch off. This is what the machine is waiting for.
If the Horizontal Plunger cylinder is fully retracted,
– Loosen nuts on Horizontal Plunger reed switch and hold the switch away from any magnets or metal for approximately 10 seconds. Check tractor box display to see if it is still displays “006”. If it does, lightly tap the switch on something to free up the stuck switch. The switch may need to be replaced if this problem continues.

Note: After the machine has extended the Kicker cylinder, the Kicker reed switch should be lined up with the magnet mounded in the round plastic, which turns the switch on. This is what the machine is waiting for.
If the Kicker cylinder is fully extended,
– Check the air gap distance between the Kicker reed switch and the magnet. The distance should be a maximum of 3/8 inch (9 mm). If it is within the suggested range then the reed switch needs to be replaced.

– Check that a bale or foreign object is not preventing the Kicker from extending.
– Check that the directional valve is not stuck.
Note: Before the machine extends the Kicker cylinder, the Kicker reed switch is in front
of the first magnet mounted in the round plastic. When the machine extends the Kicker
cylinder it rotates the round plastic, moving the first magnet away from the switch,
which turns the Kicker reed switch off. This is what the machine is waiting for.
If the Kicker cylinder is fully extended,
– Loosen nuts on Kicker reed switch and hold the switch away from any magnets or
metal for approximately 10 seconds. Check tractor box display to see if it is still
displays “003”. If it does, lightly tap the switch on something to free up the stuck
switch. The switch may need to be replaced if this problem continues.
