8.3 Lubrication
The lubrication points on the big baler should be
lubricated regularly. The lubrication point positions and
lubrication intervals can be be found in the lubrication
schedules in the operating manual or on the stickers on
the front of the twine boxes. Remove the grease which
escapes from the bearings after lubrication.
Lubrication intervals:
10 h corresponds with approx. daily
50 h corresponds with approx. weekly

8.1 Special Notes on Safety
• Repair, care, maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out with the machine at a
standstill. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Apply the flywheel brake.
• Secure the big pack baler and the tractor from rolling away.
• After completing care and maintenance work replace all protective plates and protective
devices again properly.
• Avoid skin contact with oils and greases.
• In case of injury caused by discharged oil, seek immediate medical attention.
8.2 General
As a standard feature the big pack baler is fitted with a
central lubrication system for the knotter area. The
grease press for this system is located on the rear right
hand bale channel at the same height as the mainte-
nance platform.
Soft, smooth lithium NLGI grade 2 soap grease with
E.P. additives in accordance with DIN 51825 are to be
used as lubricating greases. We advise against using
lubricating greases taking something else as a basis.
