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. Remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor and round baler against rolling.

• Should hazardous situations develop, switch off the PTO immediately and bring the round baler to a standstill.

• Never let the round baler run if no operating personnel are on the tractor.

• The round baler can be operated at a PTO speed of 540 r.p.m.

Use

4.1 Adjustments Before Starting Work

Before starting work, complete or check the following:

• pick-up working height

• baffle plate position

• switch cutting system (special equipment) on or off

• cutting length of the cutting system (special equipment)

• use of the straw trap

• preselect baling pressure (for comfort controls refer to

Chapter 7)

• select twine or net wrapping

• insert twine or net

• function of the chain lubrication device

• initialize bale counter

The required procedures are described in Chapter 5 (Basic Settings and Operation).

If the cutting system is switched on during baling, the bale density will increase substantially. For this reason the baling pressure may need to be reduced.

IV - 1

Use

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 or

• 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.

Adapt the round baler setting to prevailing conditions.

4.2 Forward Speed and PTO Speed

The forward speed during use depends on the following factors: – type of baling material – moisture content of the baling material – height of windrows – ground conditions

• Match forward speed to prevailing conditions.

• Do not overload the round baler.

• Maintain a forward speed between 5 - 12 km/h

• When baling a round bale, reduce speed at the start and finish of the baling process.

KR208250

4.3 Filling the Bale Chamber

To attain a consistent bale density inside a round bale, the bale chamber should be filled evenly. The swath width is an important factor here.

The swath width is optimal if the swath has exactly the same width as the bale chamber.

If the swath is wider than this, distortion of the round bales may result. The round bale will be frayed on the sides and difficult to eject from the bale chamber.

If the swath is narrow, the bale chamber can be filled evenly only by driving onto the swath from alternate sides (left/right). Do not zigzag: drive long distances on the left and right side of the swath as shown in the illustration. Too frequent changes and uneven filling of the bale chamber will produce barrel-shaped round bales and uneven bale density.

The current baling pressure is displayed by the baling pressure indicator on the right side of the machine or on the monitor if comfort controls are used.

IV - 2

KR-1-017

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).

To prevent overload on the round baler when handling certain types of crop (e.g. wet silage), the binding process should already be started at an earlier point. Permanent overload can drastically reduce the service life of the round baler.

Use

4.4 Wrapping and Depositing Bales

• Start twine or net wrapping process (see the Operation chapter), continue pick-up of baling material until the twine or net wrapping material enters the bale chamber and collected by the round bale, maintain the nominal speed of 540 rpm when doing this, until the wrapping process is complete.

• Stop the tractor and wait until the twine or net wrapping process is complete.

• Eject round bales by opening the bale chamber.

• Close the bale chamber and start the next baling process simultaneously.

IV - 3

Use

Drive chain for pick-up with shear bolt

Device (Special Equipment)

The central chain lubrication device is attached to the left side of the machine behind the front guard.

Each time the drive shaft makes a rotation, oil is forced out of the tank (1) via the pump (2) and the lubrication strips attached to the left and right of the machine, and onto the brushes on the drive chains.

The delivery rate can be adjusted by means of the eccentric (3) on the drive roller.

Different nozzles are built into the lubrication strips for each lubrication point. A pressure gauge (1) which displays system pressure is installed on the right-hand side of the machine. This pressure increases or decreases according to the setting of the eccentric disk.

• Depending on consumption, check the oil supply in

the container and top off if necessary.

Basic Settings and Operation

It must absolutely be ensured that no water or dust can enter the tank.

If the lubricant container is empty, the central chain lubrication device needs to be bled:

• Fill the reservoir with oil.

• Remove the container hose (4) from the pump and wait

until oil emerges.

• Mount the hose on the pump again.

• Open the venting screw (3) and actuate the pump

manually until oil is flowing out of the valve block without any bubbles.

Replace filter (2) once a year. First remove, empty and then thoroughly clean the tank (1). Only then replace filter (2). Do not remove filter (2) if oil is present in the filter. It must absolutely be ensured that no water or dust can enter tank (1).

Use recommended lubricants only!

Different types of oil can be used.

Viscosity similar to 15W40

Use biodegradable, non-toxic oil only. (e. g. Fuchs Plantogear 100 - N Mineral Oil or Castrol Optimol Optileb GT 100)

Do not use adhesive oils for chains since these would get stuck inside the system.

9.3.3 Checking the brake settings

The natural limited wear of brake drums and brake pads means that the wheel brakes need to be frequently adjusted in order to keep the braking cylinder stroke to an optimum. In order to achieve minimum braking delay, it is necessary to keep the air play between the pad and the brake drum to a minimum.

9.3.4 Setting the cam brake

• The adjustment jobs listed below must only be performed while the machine is turned off. Switch off the engine, remove the ignition key and disconnect the 12 V supply voltage.

• Secure the round baler and tractor against rolling.

Tandem axle Compressed air system and hydraulic brake

The brake activation has been adjusted in the factory. The brake must be readjusted:

• if the effect of braking diminishes. (because of wear on the brake shoes, for example).

• if the activation path of the brake cylinder "X" is greater than 50 mm.

Maintenance

After the brake linkage (2a, 2b) has been readjusted, check whether the wheels turn freely when the brake is released. If they do not, the brake linkage (2a, 2b) must be readjusted (shorten the brake linkage)

The threading overhang (6) of the brake linkage (2a, 2b) on the clevises must be min. = 0 mm.

Adjust the braking activation:

Each time before you readjust the brake linkage (2a, 2b), the thickness of the lining on the brake shoes must be checked. The thickness of the lining must still be at least 2 mm.

• Disconnect the brake linkage (2b) from the brake lever (4)

• Loosen the counter nuts (1) on the brake linkage (2a).

• Turn the brake linkage (2a) until the brake lever path

a1 is about 30 mm on activation.

The compensation lever (11) must be flush both in the oblong hole (I), and in the upper part (II) of the support (12) for all settings.

• Disconnect the brake linkage (2a) from the brake lever (5).

• Then mount the brake linkage (2b) on the brake lever (4) again (note the length of the brake lever (HL)).

• Loosen the counter nuts (3) on the brake linkage (2b)

• Turn the brake linkage (2b) until the brake lever path a2 is about 30 mm

on activation.

If the minimum threading length (6) (min. = 0 mm) cannot be reached, the brake lever (4, 5) should be moved on the brake shafts against the operating direction (7).

• Tighten counter nuts (1, 3) on the brake linkages (2a, 2b).

Make certain that all safety equipment is mounted.

The compensation lever (11) must be flush both in the oblong hole (I), and in the upper part (II) of the support (12) for all settings.

• Then mount the brake linkage (2a) on the brake lever

(5) again (note the length of the brake lever (HL)).

• Activate the brake. When you do this, the cylinder

stroke X must be between 25 mm and 50 mm.

If the cylinder stroke X is too great, readjust the brake linkage (2a, 2b) (increase the length of the brake linkage).

9.3.5 Tyres

• Repairs to the tyres should be carried out by trained personnel only using the right tools.

• Park the round baler on firm, level ground. Place wheel chocks under the tyres to prevent unintended rolling.

• Regularly check that wheel nuts are properly seated and tighten if necessary!

• Do not stand in front of the tyre when inflating it with compressed air. The tyre could burst if too much pressure builds up inside. Risk of injury!

• Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.

Always slacken and tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown in the diagram at right.

Check the wheel nuts 10 operating hours after mounting and tighten if necessary. After this, check that the wheel nuts are properly seated every 50 operating hours.

9.4 Drive Chains

9.4.1 Special Safety Instructions

The drive chains are equipped with protective devices. Always reattach or close the protective devices after completing work on the chains.

9.4.2 General Information

Central lubrication only

The chain lubrication device supplies oil to all drive chains except for the drive chain on the twin twine guide. As the lubricating oil lines are not subjected to high pressure, clogging may occur. For this reason, the lubricating oil lines should be checked before each use to ensure proper function. How the central chain lubrication device operates is explained in the “Basic Settings and Operation” section of this booklet.
