The following should be inspected every time, before travelling on a public road:
Ensure that the tyres are set to the correct pressure as per safety decals and
according to the specifications, as outlined in Section “Tyre specifications” on
page 13.
Ensure that all doors are securely closed and fastened, ensuring that primary
and secondary catches are fully engaged, these should be kept clear of
foreign objects to ensure proper and trouble free operation.
The bale forming chamber should be emptied and there must be no bale on
the wrapping table.
The machine must be safely cleared of all loose forage. To carry this out,
firstly turn off the tractor and fully isolate the machine by disconnecting all of
the connections to the tractor unit.
The PTO shaft must be fixed safely to the tractor PTO stub shaft.
The lighting system of the machine must be connected to the tractor and must
be in a fully functioning condition.
The electronic control box must be switched off or disconnected from the
power supply, see section “Control box functions” on page 59.
The hydraulic supply must be turned off and protected from accidental
activation by disconnecting the hydraulic feed line. Support all loose lines in a
safe manner.
The pick-up guide wheels must be fixed in the road transport position (See
Figure 9.a) and the drawbar/PTO stands secured in a working position, see
section “Drawbar and PTO shaft stand usage” on page 52.
Attention must be paid to the maximum travel speed-limit (40 km/hr) printed
on the chassis plate, on the left hand side of the machine. Other speed limits
that may be printed, on the drawbar plate or axle plate, for example are not
relevant.
