FOREWORD
Appropriate service methods and correct repair procedures are essential for the safe, reliable operation of all
equipment, as well as the personal safety of the individual performing the repair.
This Repair Manual provides troubleshooting, overhaul, and pressure-testing instructions using recommended
procedures and equipment. Following these instructions will ensure the safe, efficient, and timely completion of
the service or repair.
There are numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servicing machines, as well as in
the skill of the individual doing the work. This manual cannot possibly anticipate all such variations and provide
advice or cautions as to each. Accordingly, anyone who departs from the instructions provided in this manual
must first establish that their personal safety, the safety of others, and the integrity of the machine will not be com-
promised by the choice of methods, tools or parts.
The manual is divided into sections which are subdivided into chapters. Each chapter contains information on
general operating principles, detailed inspection, overhaul and, where applicable, specific troubleshooting, spe-
cial tools, and specifications.
Any reference in this manual to right, left, rear, front, top, or bottom is determined by standing behind the machine
and looking in the direction of travel.
All data and illustrations in this manual are subject to variations in build specification. This information was correct
at the time of issue, but Case IH policy is one of continuous improvement, and the right to change specifications,
equipment, or design at any time, without notice, is reserved.

SAFETY
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions. To help
prevent accidents, read the following precautions before operating this equipment. Equipment should be oper-
ated only by those who are responsible and instructed to do so.
Carefully review the procedures given in this manual with all operators. It is important that all operators be familiar
with and follow safety precautions.
The Round Baler
1. Keep safety decals free of dirt and grime.
2. Replace all damaged, missing or illegible safety
decals.
3. Install all shields before operating the round bal-
er.
4. Keep the round baler free of dust, chaff and hay.
Always have a fire extinguisher handy.
5. Never operate the round baler without the PTO
shield in place. Make sure the PTO shield rotates
freely.
Towing the Round Baler
1. Do not exceed 32 kph (20 mph) when towing the
round baler.
2. Make sure the SMV, reflective tape and lights are
clean and clearly visible.
3. Refer to local, state or provincial laws and regula-
tions for restrictions on public roads.
4. Make sure the taillights are operating properly.
Operating the Round Baler
1. Read the operator’s manual before operating the
round baler.
2. Only allow properly trained persons to operate
the round baler.
3. Allow only one operator on the tractor.
4. Do not permit anyone to ride on the round baler.
5. Do not engage the PTO before you are sure ev-
eryone is clear of the round baler.
6. Do not work around the round baler in loose
clothing that might catch in moving parts.
7. Do not attempt to pull crop from the round baler
without turning off the PTO.
8. Keep hands away from the twine knife. Be sure
all persons are clear of the baler before operating
the twine tubes.
9. If the twine does not start, stop the round baler
before correcting the problem.
10. Do not operate above the rated PTO speed.
11. Do not back over windrows, the hay may wedge
between the floor roll and pickup.
12. Do not make overweight bales. The round baler
may be damaged.
13. Do not exceed the full bale size. An oversize bale
will put excessive stress on the round baler com-
ponents.
14. Be sure all persons are clear of the round baler
before starting the round baler, activating the
wrapper or opening the tailgate.
15. Do not adjust the pickup lower than necessary.
16. When operating on slopes, the bale must be
ejected on the side of the slope to prevent the
bale from rolling into the baler or down the hill.

SECTION 00 - GENERAL INFORMATION - CHAPTER 1
00-6
Servicing the Round Baler
1. Do not service the round baler with the tailgate in
the raised position unless the hydraulic cylinder
lockouts are in the locked position.
2. Make sure the PTO is disengaged, the tractor en-
gine is shut off and the electric power supply is
shut off before doing any lubrication, mainte-
nance or service work on the round baler.
3. Park on level ground and block the wheels to pre-
vent the round baler from rolling.
4. Do not adjust the belts with the round baler
running.
5. Do not oil the chains with the baler running.
6. Do not modify or allow anyone else to modify the
round baler without consulting the dealer.
7. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
•Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use
a piece of cardboard or paper.
•Stop the engine and relieve the pressure be-
fore connecting or disconnecting hydraulic
lines.
•Tighten all connections before starting the
engine or pressurizing the hydraulic lines.
•If hydraulic fluid penetrates the skin, obtain
medical attention immediately.
•Continuous long term contact with hydraulic
fluid may cause skin cancer. Avoid long term
contact and wash the skin promptly with soap
and water.
DANGER
Be sure everyone is clear of the baler before
raising or lowering the tailgate. Do not work
under a raised tailgate unless both the left and
right side hydraulic cylinder lockouts, 1, are
lowered into the lock position over the cylinder
rods. Failure to do so will result in death or
serious injury.

FLUID SAFETY
HANDLE FLUIDS SAFELY
When you work around fuel or other flammable mate-
rial, do not smoke, work near heaters or other fire
hazards.
Do not store flammable material in open containers.
Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards.
Do not incinerate or puncture pressurized
containers.
Make sure machine is clean of trash, grease, oil, and
debris.
Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn spon-
taneously.
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance
service, hospital, and fire department near your
telephone.
AVOID HEATING NEAR PRESSURIZED
FLUID LINES
Flammable spray can be generated by heating near
pressurized fluid lines, resulting in serve burns to
yourself and bystanders.
Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch
near pressurized fluid lines.
Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut or dam-
aged when heat goes beyond the immediate flame
area.
USE CARE AROUND HIGH-PRESSURE
FLUID LINES
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before dis-
connecting hydraulic or other lines.
Tighten all line connections before applying
pressure.
Check for leaks with a piece of cardboard.
Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any
fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors
unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a
knowledgeable medical source.
SAFE SERVICE PROCEDURES
Wear protective clothing.
Do not wear loose clothing.
Wear close fitting clothing.
Wear safety glasses or face shield as required.
Wear other safety equipment appropriate to the job.
Wear earplugs or earmuffs as required.
Use caution when working around moving parts.
Use tools appropriate for the job.
Replace missing or damaged safety decals.
Reinstall all shielding removed for servicing.
