Preparing the Big Pack Baler
Before starting adjustment work, place the big baler on the parking leg and uncouple
the tractor.
The drawbar can be set for either top or bottom
attachment. The tractor attachment height can be
adjusted in both the “top attachment” and the “bottom
attachment” positions (three-point linkage or pending
attachment).
The big baler must be attached horizontally to ensure
an optimum working method. The top of the twine box
is used as a match edge here.
3. Preparing the Big Pack Baler
3.1 Special Notes on Safety
• Particular care is required when attaching the big pack baler to or detaching it from the
tractor. There must be nobody between the tractor and the big pack baler. After coupling,
switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Apply the flywheel brake.
• When carrying out care, maintenance, adjustment and repair work, always switch off the
PTO shaft, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Only put the big pack baler into operation when all protective devices have been attached
and are in the correct positions.
• The big pack baler may be operated with a maximum PTO shaft speed of 1000 rpm.
• Only PTO shafts specified by the manufacturer with the correct overload coupling and free
wheel facility may be used.
• The PTO shaft may only be attached and detached when the tractor PTO shaft is switched
off, the engine is switched off and the ignition key is removed.
• Lay hoses and connection cables in such a way that they are not under tension and do not
come into contact with the tractor wheels when going round corners.
• Check hydraulic hose lines regularly and replace if damaged or aged.
• When connecting hydraulic hoses to and disconnecting them from the tractor hydraulics
make sure that the hydraulics both in the tractor and in the machine are not pressurised.
3.2 Adjusting the Height of the Swinging Drawbar
• Secure the big pack baler from rolling away by using wheel chocks and putting on the
parking brake.
• Use suitable parking stands to support the big pack baler.
• Risk of crushing feet when winding down the jack stands.
