Before road transport will take place, please read the following safety
instructions. The compliance is prescribed and helps you to avoid
accidents.
Close valves
Before road transport close all valves. With open valves and false
operation the lifting cylinder can be lowered. Traffic accidents can be
caused.
Clean the machine before road transport
Clean the machine, before every road transport, from crop residues
and heavy dirt. Crop or dirt, falling at the road, can cause a slippery
state of the road. This can lead to fatal accidents.
Road transport must be done in transport position. To bring the
machine into transport position, the following steps are necessary:
• the loading arm transport lock must be applied
• the bale turner [+] must be folded 90° upwards and locked
• the hydraulic bale turner [+] must be folded 90° upwards and
locked
• the stop arm [+] must be folded 90° upwards and locked
The loading arm must be locked into transport position.
> Move up the loading arm completely
> Mount the pin
> Lock the pin with the locking pin
The locking pin must be in the left hole.

Checking the
machine
Road transport
Check the machine before road transport by means of the checklist:
• Tractor hydraulic is switched off?
• All valves are closed?
• Crop residues and heavy dirt are removed?
• Cables and lines are placed in that way they will not tension or get
in touch with the tractor rear tyres during curve driving?
• Before starting driving, check the close environment. Always take
care of a clear view and especially at children in the working
environment of the machine.
• Lock hydraulic valves of the tractor before road transport
• Do not transport any persons or objects at the machine
• Adapt the drive speed to the road conditions
• Do not exceed the maximum speed of 25 km/h. Obey the national
and local speed limits.
• Pay attention to sufficient driving and braking capacity. Then
driving and braking capacity are influenced by the attached
machine (longer braking paths because of larger driving power).

Cleaning
Pre-stretcher rol le rs
For all cleaning and caring activities applies:
Do not penetrate bearings and hydraulic parts
Be careful when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner. Bearings,
sealings and bolted joints are not waterproof. To avoid machine
damages never penetrate bearings, sealings and bolted joints with
water.
Do not clean bearings and hydraulic parts with high pressure
Do not clean bearings and hydraulic parts with a high-pressure
cleaner. Bright metal parts will get degreased and start rusting. After
every cleaning grease the bearings and grease bright metal parts.
After every time of using the machine:
> Empty and clean the machine of all accumulated crop
Cleaning can be done with low pressure with the high-pressure
cleaner. Do not clean bearings, electronic and hydraulic parts with the
high-pressure cleaner.
The pre-stretcher rollers must be cleaned from particles, dust, crop
and tack.
> Use methylated spirit or similar to clean the rollers
After cleaning
Caring
After cleaning with the high-pressure cleaner
> grease all bearings
When you observe the rules below, you will have a fully operational

Maintenance
Wheels/tyres
Do not drive with worn-out or damaged tyres
Exchange worn-out or damaged tyres immediately. Especially during
road transport with such tyres an increased risk of accidents exists.
Correct repairwork only
Repairwork on wheels and tyres must only be carried out
• by professionals
• with the correct fitting equipment
Mounting wheels and tyres requires sufficient knowledge and
availability of prescribed tools and equipment being in perfect
condition. Serious personal injuries or machine damages can occur.
Tyre dimensions as described
Do not fit other tyre dimensions than prescribed. Fitting other tyre
dimensions can cause accidents. Personal injuries or machine
damages can occur.
Pre-scribed tyre pressure only
Only use the pre-scribed tyre pressure. Using the wrong tyres
pressure can cause serious personal injuries, machine damages or
traffic accidents.
When working on the wheels and tyres make sure that the machine
• has been placed on the ground safely (use support jack)
• is secured by chocks against unintentional rolling
Tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure regularly
• once a day
• before every road transport
• before and after every season

Indicator
Take care at welding work
Do not carry out welding work near to hydraulic hoses. Hydraulic oil
can ignite very easily.
Hydraulic device pressureless
Before replacing the hydraulic hoses, the hydraulic device must be
pressureless. When working at a hydraulic device which is under
pressure, by unintentional movements at the machine or by squirting
hydraulic oil, accidents can occur.
Hydraulic hoses age without recognizable external indications, too.
Therefore, we recommend to replace the hydraulic hoses every six
years.
> Make the hydraulic device pressureless
> Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key
> Discouple the hydraulic hoses
> Replace the hydraulic hoses
Stay clear of the table area
Stay clear of the table area while it is rotating. Serious injuries can
occur.
Filter
The filter is situated near the hydraulic block of machines with control
box only.
The filter contains an indicator on top of it. The indicator shows,
whether the filter has to be exchanged or not.
Indicator colour Meaning
green The filter is clean
red The filter must be replaced
Only check the indicator when the hydraulic oil is at working
temperature.
When the machine is hitched onto a tractor with a closed centre
hydraulic system, the tractor engine must be at the rpm as during
wrapping before checking the filter indicator.
> Check the indicator every 3000 bales or once a season
> Replace the filter every 8000 bales and once a season
