all metal surfaces become extremely wet and slippery and always ensure that the
tractor has been shut down, with the ignition key removed.
Any damaged paintwork should be touched up. Any maintenance or repairs should be
carried out at this stage. The electronic control box is not waterproof, so it must always
be stored in a dry environment. All exposed hydraulic cylinder rods should be greased.
The pick-up and the cutting device area as well as the bale chamber should be cleaned
and lubricated. (See ‘Storage’)

ENVIRONMENT: Health and safety rules for the environment
It is vitally important to observe health and safety rules in order to avoid
unnecessary environmental damage or danger to anybody near the
machine. This especially applies to the responsible disposal of oil. Never
spill pollutants (oil, grease, filters, etc.) on the ground, never pour them
down the drain and never discard them where they can pollute the
environment. Never throw away or burn waste net or plastic. Burning
plastics is toxic as they release dioxins and furans. To inhale dioxins or
to be exposed to its fumes can cause deadly results. Respect the
environment! Always take waste materials to a recycling centre.
