(3) and the buzzer sounds. Stop the tractor. The net is fed after the delay time and is taken up by the rotating bale. (Fig. 2) 9.1.2 BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255 - 000 299 119 5...
For net wrapping, the end of the wrapping process is also recognizable when the roll of netting stops or when you hear the cutting of the net by the knife. (Fig. 3) 28268 9.1.3 000 299 119 5 - BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255...
The next bale may now be made. (Fig. 4) Discharging bales Attention! When working on slopes always discharge 28268 bales in such a way that they cannot roll away. 9.1.4 BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255 - 000 299 119 5...
(G). The rotary switch (2) must be in either position (E) or (A) and must not be set to position “0”. (Fig. 6) 28268 9.1.5 000 299 119 5 - BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255...
Then the baling chamber must be filled further or the wrapping operation must be started prematurely. (Fig. 7) 9.1.6 BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255 - 000 299 119 5...
If this is the case, possible reasons are listed in the operator's book under section 9.1.1. (Fig. 8) 9.1.7 000 299 119 5 - BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255...

The baler is now operational and manual wrapping is activated. Set a delay time between 1 and 10 seconds to reactivate automatic net wrapping. (Fig. 11) 9.1.9 000 299 119 5 - BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255...
PTO off again and repeat the procedure. Check the baler for foreign objects and remove them. Switch the knife on the cutting unit back on. (Fig. 1) 9.2.1 000 299 119 5 - BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255...
– danger of injury! 6. Pull lever (H) off shaft (W). 7. Pull back lever (H) into crossmember 8. Close the right-hand side door. (Fig. 2, 3) 9.2.2 BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255 - 000 299 119 5...
8. Engage the PTO and start baling. 9. With ROLLANT 250/254/255 RC, reengage the cutting knives. Lift the pick-up to do this. 9.2.3 000 299 119 5 - BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255...
Do not set rotary switch (2) to position (0) until the baler is at a complete standstill. E = Knives ON (knives in cutting position) A = Knives OFF (knives disengaged) (Fig. 6) 28044 9.2.4 BA ROLLANT 240 - 250 - 254 - 255 - 000 299 119 5...
