SAFETY
A-8 700734980 D Rev.
FIG. 6: Stay at least 3.7 m (12 ft) away from the tailgate
and kicker at all times. The tailgate and kicker operate
faster than you can move away.
Always make sure the area around the tailgate and the
kicker is clear for at least 3.7 m (12 ft) before opening the
tailgate and unloading the bale. Keep bystanders away
from the baler and the tailgate when unloading a bale.
Before raising the tailgate, make sure the baler is securely
fastened to the tractor drawbar. The baler tongue may lift
up when the tailgate is raised. This can cause the baler to
tip to the rear, causing personal injury or damage to the
machine.
FIG. 7: When moving bales, never use a tractor front end
loader that is not equipped with a grapple or the proper
bale handling equipment. Use the grapple to prevent the
bale from rolling down the loader frame onto the operator.
Always keep the load close to the ground to keep from
off-balancing the tractor.
Never unload or store bales on a slope where bales can
roll.
Always disengage the tractor PTO, put the tractor
transmission in PARK and apply the parking brake before
getting off of the tractor. Stop the tractor engine and
remove the key before servicing or doing any
maintenance on the machine.
PPE (Personal Protection Equipment)
FIG. 8: Wear all personal protective equipment (PPE)
and protective clothing issued to you or called for by job
conditions and country/local regulations. PPE includes,
but is not limited to, equipment to protect eyes, lungs,
ears, head, hands and feet when operating, servicing or
repairing equipment.
Always keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
moving parts. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry,
watches, or other items that could entangle in moving
parts. Tie up long hair that can also entangle in moving
parts.
