Hydraulicconnections
Hydraulic connections only pressureless
Only connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor when both tractor and
machine hydraulics are pressureless. Hydraulics under pressure can
cause accidental movements of the machine with serious damage and
injuries as a result.
Searching for hydraulic oil leaks
Never search for leaks by touching hydraulic hoses and hydraulic
connections, even when your hands are protected with a protective
skin cream or oil-resistant gloves. Always use a piece of paper when
searching for leaks.
Due to high pressure and very little holes in case of leakages, the
hydraulic oil will go through protection devices and your skin! Hydraulic
oil may come into your bloodstream, which is lifethreatening!
Avoid oil mixture
If the machine is used at different tractors, improper oil mixtures can
occur, which may destroy tractor and machine parts.
Avoid entering of dirt into the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system can get seriously damaged by dirt. Personal
injuries or material damage can be caused.
Check hoses and connections
Before connecting, check all hydraulic hoses for damages. After
connecting, check all hydraulic hoses for tight connection. Defective
hydraulic hoses or incorrect positioned hydraulic connectors can
cause unforeseen movements of the machine. Serious damage or
fatal injuries can occur.
Secure tractor hydraulic devices
In transport position, secure the tractor hydraulic control devices
against unintended actuation and lock if possible. Unintended
actuation of the hydraulic device may lead to unexpected movements
of the machine. Fatal injuries and serious damage can be caused.
Check correct position and layout of hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses may not be jammed or under tension. Pay attention
to sufficient play. Twisted or jammed hydraulic hoses can cause
serious injuries and damages to the machine.
Check settings of hydraulic block
Before coupling, check if the hydraulic block is adapted for the
hydraulic system of your tractor. If necessary, adapt the hydraulic
block for:
• Open centre system (standard factory setting).
• Closed centre system.
• Load sensing system.

Check the “Danger Zone“ of the machine before starting and
continually during operation. The “Danger Zone“ is the aera around
the wrapping table, at least 5 metres from the wrapping table and at
least 10 metres at the back of the machine.
Make sure that the operator has an adequate view of the operating
area. Only start operating if the direct surrounding is free from any
persons and objects to avoid serious or fatal injuries.
The operator is always responsible to keep persons out of the “Danger
Zone“.
56
In case the machin is used stationary it is strongly recommended to
mark out the “Danger Zone“ with pegs and mark-out ribbon. This to
avoid persons from entering the “Danger Zone“ by accidence.
Note the contour of the terrain
Pay even more attention when working on a slope. Avoid slopes on
which the combination (tractor and machine) could slip away or
overturn. Unload the bale in such a way that it can never roll away.
Serious or fatal injuries can occur.
Do not unload bales while the wheels are in transport position.
Place the wheels always in the operating postion before start
operating. Unloading bales on the wheels, while driving may cause
heavy machine damages.
Operation
Circumference
Required filmwraps
Determination of table revolutions
Calculation of table revolutions
The number of bale revolutions in relation to the number of table
revolutions determines the amount of film layers the bale is wrapped
in. For grass a minimum of 6 layers is recommended, 4 layers may be
sufficient for short term storage at low temperature. It is recommended
to increase the number of layers if the bale consists of hard and stem
material.
You can choose a recommended number of film wraps, or you can
determine the number of film wraps yourself.
The settings in the table below are recommendations which will allow
a correct coverage under most circumstances. The operator is always
responsible for the correct coverage of the bale. Therefore regularly:
• Check the coverage of the bale
• Adjust the settings or parameters if necessary.
> Count the number of the table revolutions to cover the bale just
completely with film.
> Add 1 to this number.
> Multiply this with 2, for 4 layers, with 3 for 6 layers, or 4 for 8 layers
etcetera.
The table drive is set to give 2+2+2... layers overlap, using 750 mm
film.
> Determine the circumference of the bale (cm) as shown in the
picture at the left.
> Divide this value by 66.
> Round off to the nearest integer above.
> Add 2 to this value.
> Multiply this with 2, for 4 layers, with 3 for 6 layers, or 4 for 8 layers

Safety
For all maintenance jobs:
Observe the safety instructions
Definitely observe all safety instructions during all maintenance and
repair jobs. In case of negligence of the safety instructions serious or
deadly accidents can occur.
»Safety instructions«, see page 9.
Searching for hydraulic oil leaks.
Never search for leaks by touching hydraulic hoses and hydraulic
connections, even when your hands are protected with a protective
skin cream or oil-resistant gloves. Always use a piece of paper when
looking for leaks.
Due to high pressure and very little holes in case of leakage, the
hydraulic oil will go through protection devices and your skin!
Hydraulic oil may come into your bloodstream, which is
lifethreatening!
Wear safety shoes
During all jobs at the machine, never bring your feet under the
machine and always wear safety shoes, to decrease the risk of
serious injuries.
Conditions for maintenance jobs
Only carry out maintenance jobs if you have the required expertise
and suitable tools. The absence of technical knowledge or unsuitable
tools can cause accidents or damages.
Genuine parts
Only genuine parts are specially designed and thoroughly tested for
use at this machine. The use of genuine parts will guarantee the
reliability and safety of the machine. Other products can interrupt
functioning of the machine or will make the machine unsafe. When
using non-genuine parts the warranty and liability of the manufacturer
reduces to nil and void.
Prevent the machine from inadvertent operating.
Before carrying out maintenance and repair jobs always:
• Unhitch the machine from the tractor if possible and prevent it from
rolling away.
• Disconnect all hydraulic hoses.
• Disconnect all eletronic cables.
»Unhitching the machine«, see page 81.
Otherwise always:
• Switch off all hydraulic systems.
