GENERAL
This manual has been prepared to assist you in the correct procedure for running in, driving, operating, adjusting
and maintaining your new machine.
This machine has been designed and built to give maximum performance, economy, safety and ease of
operation under a wide variety of crops and conditions.
Prior to delivery, your machine was carefully inspected both at the factory and by your dealer to ensure that it
reaches you in optimum condition. To maintain this condition and ensure trouble-free operation it is important
that routine services, as specified in this manual, are carried out at the recommended intervals.
Before attempting to drive or operate your machine, read this manual carefully (especially chapter covering the
Safety Precautions) and keep it in a convenient place for future reference.
”Left” and ”right” used throughout this manual are determined from the rear, facing in the direction of travel of
the machine during operation.
If at any time you require advice concerning your machine, do not hesitate to contact your authorised dealer.
Who have factory-trained personnel, genuine service parts and the necessary equipment to carry out your
service requirements.
IMPORTANT:
This machine has been designed and built according to the laws of your country. Always use genuine CASEIH Service Parts
when servicing and repairing your machine and do not modify your machine without a written permission of the
manufacturer. Failure to do so will void the responsibility of the manufacturer.
Check local road legislation before driving the baler on public roads.
As this publication is distributed throughout our international network, the equipment illustrated, either as
standard or as an accessory, may vary according to the country in which the equipment is to be used. Low cost
configurations, as chosen by the customer, may deviate from specifications given.
Several illustrations in this manual show the safety guarding, open or removed to illustrate better a particular
feature or adjustment.
The machine must not be used in this condition. For your own safety, ensure that all guards are closed or
replaced before operating the machine.

your dealer's Service Department will handle any problems with your equipment. Sometimes, however,
misunderstanding can occur. If your problem has not been handled to your satisfaction, we suggest contacting
the owner or General Manager of the dealership, explaining the problem, and requesting assistance. When
additional assistance is needed, your dealer has direct access to our branch office.

LUBRICANTS
Your dealer sells a selection of specially formulated lubricants based on own engineering specifications.
Recommended lubricants for your machine are listed in the ”Lubrication and Maintenance” section and on the
inside back cover of this manual.
CLEANING YOUR MACHINE
Your machine is a state-of-the-art machine with sophisticated, electronic controls. Even though every precaution
has been taken to safeguard electronic components and connections, the pressure generated by some pressure
washers is such that complete protection against water ingress cannot be guaranteed.
When using a high pressure washer, do not stand too close to the machine and avoid directing the jet at
electronic components, electrical connections, breathers, seals, filler caps, etc.
IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Soil, air and water are vital factors of agriculture and of life in general. Where legislation does not yet rule the
treatment of some of the substances, which are required byadvanced technology, common sense should govern
the use and the disposal of the products of a chemical and a petrochemical nature.
The following are recommendations, which may be of assistance:
Become acquainted with and respect the relative legislation applicable in your country.

Where no legislation exists, obtain information from suppliers of oils, fuels, antifreeze, cleaning agents, etc. for
their effect on man and nature and for safe ways of storage, usage and disposal. Agricultural consultants will,
in many cases, be able to help you as well.
HELPFUL HINTS
Avoid filling fuel tanks using jerrycans or inappropriate pressurized fuel delivery systems which may cause
considerable spillage.
In general, avoid skin contact with all oils, acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain substances which can be
harmful to your health.
Use only oil which is meeting the quality requirements of this manual.
Use biodegradable oils for chain lubrication where oils cannot be recuperated. In many countries rapeseed oils
or other agro-based lubricants have become available.
Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contaminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating systems.
Avoid spillage when draining off used engine coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic oils, brake fluids,
etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids, fuels or coolant mixtures with lubricants. Store them safely until they can
be disposed of in a proper way to comply with local legislation and available resources. They should not be
allowed to get into the soil but should be collected and disposed of safely.
Do not open the air-conditioning system yourself; it contains gasses, which should not be released into the air.
Your dealer has a special extractor for this purpose and will have to do the recharging of the system anyway.
Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or the hydraulic system immediately.
Do not increase the pressure in a pressurized circuit as this may lead to bursting of the components.
Protect hoses and wiring harnesses during welding as penetrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken
them, causing the loss of oils, coolant, short circuits etc.
Battery recycling
Batteries and electric accumulators contain various components which can damage the environment if they are
not properly recycled after usage. CASEIH strongly recommends that you return all used batteries (starting
batteries and small ”dry” batteries which may be used in electric or electronic systems) to your CASEIH dealer
who will ensure proper disposal or recycling. In certain countries this is a legal requirement.
