Special Safety Instructions
In addition to the general safety instructions, other special
safety instructions apply for round baler operation.
• The following general rules apply to all maintenance, assembly, repair and adjustment work:
Bring the machine to a complete standstill.
Switch off the engine.
Remove the ignition key.
Secure the tractor and round baler against rolling.
• Maintain an adequate safety distance to all moving parts of the round baler during
operation. This applies especially to the baling material pick-up equipment.
Remove clogs only when the PTO has been switched off and the engine is at a standstill.
• Never stand in the slewing range of the tailgate or underneath the tailgate when it is
unlocked.
During maintenance, assembly or repair work inside the bale chamber or to the tailgate
always secure it against falling using the shut-off tap.
Switch off the motor, remove the ignition key and disconnect the 12 V supply voltage.
• Should hazardous situations develop, switch off the PTO immediately and bring the round
baler to a standstill.
• Never let the round baler run if no operating personnel are on the tractor.
• The round baler can be operated at a PTO speed of 540 r.p.m.
• When working on slopes, always deposit round bales in such a way that they do not move.
Should the bales start to move, they could cause serious accidents due to their weight and
cylindrical form.
4.1 Adjustments Before Starting
Work
Before starting work, complete or check the following:
• pick-up working height
• baffle plate position
• switch cutting system (special equipment) on or off
• cutting length of the cutting system (special equipment)
• use of the straw trap
• preselect baling pressure (for comfort controls refer to
Chapter 7)
• select twine or net wrapping
• insert twine or net
• function of the chain lubrication device
• initialize bale counter
The required procedures are described in Chapter 5 (Basic
Settings and Operation).
If the cutting system is switched on during
baling, the bale density will increase
substantially. For this reason the baling
pressure may need to be reduced.
