McHale Fusion 3 Baler & Wrapper
21
4.3 Noise level
The European Regulation 86/188/EEC directs employers and employees to
control the noise level at work. The noise level at field work may differ
according to the tractor, ground, crops and other environmental conditions.
In normal conditions, whilst driving the McHale Fusion 3, the noise level to
the driver’s ear does not exceed 70 dB (A) with the rear screen of the tractor
cabin open. The common noise level of the machine and the tractor is
primarily influenced by the tractor noise (radio is an additional noise source). It
is recommended to operate this machine with closed cabin windows.
4.4 Fire precautions
Be aware that crops are easily inflammable.
Do not smoke or make use of any open fire next to the machine.
A functioning fire extinguisher should always be available on the tractor.
The machine is to be kept clear of oil, grease, crops, string, plastic or any
other flammable material at all times.
Do not continue to work with overheated parts, cables or pipes, unless you
have identified and eliminated the reason for overheating.
4.5 Special safety devices/instructions
According to European safety regulation, the covers of this machine are
designed to be opened only by the aid of a special tool and to be closed
without a tool. To unlock the covers, the locks should be turned slightly anti-
clockwise with a 13 mm spanner or flat blade screwdriver. To lock the covers
push the cover towards the chassis until the fasteners lock into place. It is
forbidden to operate the machine without the covers or with them open. The
owner of the machine is obliged, by law, to ensure that all covers are installed
on the machine and are in good functioning condition.
When maintenance or repair work has to be carried out at the open bale
chamber, the additional upper chamber lever valve must be in the locked
position. Before the upper chamber can be closed it has to be unlocked again.
Before replacing the knives of the chopping system, make sure that all knives
are in the ‘UP’ position. Always use protective gloves when working at the
chopping system.
Avoid contact with the plastic film cutting knives.
