Before operation
 The operator must ensure that the manufacturer’s instructions for attaching
and detaching the machine are followed. This includes the drawbar linkage
attachment, the electric and hydraulic lines, in particular the lighting system.
 The operator must ensure that all covers are closed and all safety devices, in
particular the dispenser rotation trip arms, are in operating mode and in good
working order. Replace if necessary.
 The operator must ensure that there is no person in the ‘Danger Zone’.
 Always be familiar with the health and safety requirements that may be in
force in the country of use.
 The continuous cycle should not be used in hilly terrain as the operator needs
better control of bale unloading, i.e. the bale should only be unloaded on level
ground.
During operation
 While operating this machine on hilly or sloping ground the operator must take
extra precautions; in particular the ‘Danger Zone’ is increased in such
conditions as bales are more likely to roll away, causing a potential risk.
 Adjust driving speed to suit ground conditions. Allow for mounted machines
reducing the front end weight of tractor.
 The operator must ensure that there is a minimum of 4 m clearance between
the machine and any obstacle above, in particular electrical high voltage lines.
 Be careful when working with the cut and hold. Remember that the
accumulators are under pressure.
 Avoid contact with the knife.
 Do not attempt to clamp plastic film in the cut and hold mechanism.
 Particular care must be taken, if the machine is left idle for any extended
period, to ensure that all sensors and safety features are working correctly.
 Never operate machine with dispenser safety arms damaged or missing.
 The operator must always be aware of the location of the film holder because
in any position, other than the transport position, it protrudes out past the
general width of the machine.
WARNING: Rotating dispenser arm
When the electronic control box is switched on, the rotating dispenser
arm is activated.
