10. Putting into Operation again
10.1 Special Notes on Safety
• Always bring the machine to a standstill before carrying out maintenance, mounting, repair
and adjustment work. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away.
• When the tail gate is open, secure it from lowering with the shut-off tap.
• Avoid skin contact with oil, grease, cleaning agents and solvents.
• In case of injuries or burns caused by oil, cleaning agents or solvents, seek medical
attention immediately.
• On completion of maintenance and care work, remount all protective plates and protective
devices properly.
• Follow all further specific notes on safety.
10.2 General
• Before putting into operation again, start the binding or wrapping process and turn the round baler manually.
Check the operation of the starter mechanisms in the binding or wrapping process. At the same time make sure
that the roller panel chain turns round properly as well.
• Grease all lubrication points and all chains. Wipe away any grease emerging from the lubrication points.
• Check the oil level in the main drive gearbox, topping it up if required.
• Check hydraulic hoses and lines for leaks. Replace if required.
• Check the air pressure in the tyres. Pump up if required.
• Check that all screws are fastened tight. Tighten up if required.
• Check all electric connection cables and the lighting. Repair or replace if required.
• Check all settings on the round baler. Correct settings if required.
• If the round baler is equipped with comfort controls, the operation of the hydraulic reservoir must be checked. To
do this, fill the hydraulic reservoir by opening the tail gate completely. Activate the binding or wrapping process
at the control and indicator box. If the binding or wrapping process does not start, have the hydraulics checked
by a specialist.
10.3 Checking the Twine Holder
Before putting into operation again or after long idle
periods, check the operation of the twine holder with the
carriers (3). To do this, manually turn the stepped drive
roller anti-clockwise, in the direction indicated by the
arrow, to turn the twine guide through at least on
complete revolution. If this is difficult to turn, open the
cover plates (1) and remove deposits of dirt from the
twine holder's path. Oil the drive chains (2).
