Before and After Use Before and After Use 3.1 Commissioning Before commissioning the round baler needs to be fully assembled and matched to the towing vehicle (refer to Appendix A “Commissioning”). If a different towing vehicle is used later, the following needs to be checked and adjusted if necessary: •...
Before and After Use 3.2 Hitching Observe the maximum permissible support and hitching loads for the tractor! Hitch and secure the round baler to the tractor hitch in accordance with specifications. Risk of hands and feet being pinched when the jack stand is actuated! Set the jack stand in the transport position: •...
Page 23
Before and After Use Electrical Supply • Connect the lighting equipment connection cable (2) to the 7-pin tractor electrical system plug-in connector. • Position the cable so that it will not come in contact with the wheels. • Install the control console so that it is easily visible to the driver.
Page 24
Before and After Use Hydraulic brake (Export) Certain export models are provided with a hydraulic brake. These models require a brake valve on the tractor. The corresponding hydraulic hose (1) is connected to the brake valve on the tractor. The brake is activated by actuating the brake pedal.
Before and After Use 3.3 Road Driving • Driving on public roads is permitted only if the bale chamber is empty and locked. • If the round balers is not equipped with brakes, the weight of the tractor must be at least equal to the empty weight of the baler.
Before and After Use Parking brake (optional) The parking brake (1) is located on the front right of the drawbar. After the machine has been attached to the tractor, release the parking brake. CP400500 III - 6...
Page 27
Before and After Use 3.4 Unhitching • Always park the round baler on firm, level ground. • If the baler must be parked on soft ground, increase the supporting surface of the jack stand. • Before unhitching, place wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent the round baler from rolling.
Page 28
Before and After Use • Disconnect the PTO shaft (1) from the tractor. • Place the PTO shaft (1) inside the PTO shaft bracket (2). RBV02240 • Disconnect the hydraulic hoses (1) and electrical connecting cable. • Store these properly in the corresponding receptacle on the twine box.
Special Safety Instructions In addition to the general safety instructions, other special safety instructions apply for round baler operation. • The following general rules apply to all maintenance, assembly, repair and adjustment work: Bring the machine to a complete standstill. Switch off the engine.
Short, crumbly straw: • reduce the number of cutter blades or switchoff the cutting system or remove blades • switch off the PTO when preparing to turn Small, flat windrows: • reduce PTO speed • increase forward speed Straw varies greatly in structure. Even if no cutting system is used, it is not always possible to work at the highest possible pressure.
Barrel-shaped round bales can cause damage to the floor conveyor. Distorted and thick round bales are detrimental to proper silage production. The binding process should be started at the latest when the density indicators reach the red range (the buzzer sounds if the comfort control equipment is fitted).
Drive chain for pick-up with shear bolt To protect against overload the pick-up drive and the feed auger drive, which is located behind the guard (3), are secured with a shear bolt at the upper chain wheel. There are 3 replacement screws (2) on the inside of the guard (3).
4.6 Rotor reversing device The rotor reversing device is located on the left hand machine side behind the front guard. This device permits the rotor to be reversed hydraulically to clear a blockage. For this proceed as follows: • Switch off the power take-off (Move the PTO speed adjusting lever of the tractor to neutral).
