brakes, if equipped, are adjusted correctly. The tractor must have enough weight and braking capacity,
especially when operating on roads and terrain that is not even. To achieve proper braking capacity, use
tractor of recommended size and weight to tow the machine. See Specifications for the minimum tractor
weight.
Familiarize yourself with and obey all road regulations that apply to your machine. Consult your local law
enforcement agency for local regulations regarding movement of farm equipment on public roads. Use
headlights, flashing warning lights, taillights and turn signals, day and night, unless prohibited by local law.
Make sure all the flashers are operating prior to driving on the road. Make sure reflectors are correctly
installed, in good condition, and wiped clean. Make sure the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem, if
equipped, is clean, visible, and correctly mounted on the rear of the machine.
Do not operate the baler on the road with a bale in the chamber.
Be aware of other trac on the road. Keep well over to your own side of the road and pull over, whenever
possible, to let faster trac pass.
Be aware of the overall width, length, height, and weight of the equipment. Be careful when transporting
the machine on narrow roads and across narrow bridges.
Always install the safety transport chain between the implement and the tractor drawbar.
• Use a safety transport chain with a strength rating equal to or more than the gross weight of the towed
machines.
• Connect the safety transport chain to the tractor drawbar and use a retainer on the hitch pin.
• Supply only enough slack in the safety transport chain to permit turning.
• Do not use the safety transport chain as a tow chain for towing.
Watch for overhead wires and other obstructions.
Avoid contact with electrical power lines. Contact
with electrical power lines can cause electrical
shock, resulting in very serious injury or death.

1.1.12 Maintenance
1.1.12.1 General maintenance information
Before you do maintenance, lubricate, do
servicing, clean, or make adjustments:
• Park the machine on a solid, level surface.
• Disengage the tractor power take-o.
• Make sure that all the controls are in the
neutral position and apply the parking brake.
• Make sure that the machine and the
attachments are lowered to the ground.
• Stop the engine and take the key with you.
• Apply the baler flywheel brake.
• If the baler has a parking brake, apply the baler
parking brake.
• Look and Listen! Make sure that all parts that
move are stopped.
• Put chocks in front of and behind the wheels of
the machine before you do work on or below
the machine.

Stay near the machine when the tractor is in operation.
Know the dimensions and the weights of parts when you do the servicing. Do not stand below or near a
part while it is moved with a hoist or other lift equipment.
After you do work on the machine, remove all tools from the machine.
Make sure that electrical connectors are clean before you connect them.
Do a check for loose, broken, missing, or damaged parts. Make sure that the machine is in good repair.
Make sure that all guards and shields are in position.
Do not do the servicing, examine or adjust chains
or belts while the engine is in operation.

Do not operate the machine with the drive shaft
shields open or removed. Entanglement in drive
shafts that rotate can cause injury or death.
Stay clear of components that rotate.
Make sure that guards that rotate can rotate freely.
A loose yoke can come o a shaft and result in
injury to persons or damage to the machine.
When you install a quick disconnect yoke, the
spring activated locking pins must move freely and
be in the groove on the shaft. Pull on the driveline
to make sure that the quick disconnect yoke can
not be pulled o the shaft. GUID-CEB32148-1F4C-457C-ADF7-595DFC51AC25-high.jpg [High]

Remove spilled oil, antifreeze or fuel immediately
from the steps, platform, and other access areas.
Keep all access areas clean of unwanted materials.

Disengage the tractor PTO. Stop the tractor
engine. Remove the key. Take the key with you.
Apply the flywheel brake. Engage the knotter/
needle lockout before threading the needles,
threading the knotters or you adjust the twine
tensioners.
Injury can occur from threading the needles,
threading the knotters or adjusting the twine
tensioners with a baler in operation.
The needle frame and the knotters can move
when there is not hay in the baler.
When you do work with or around the needles or
knotters always engage the knotter/needle
lockout.
Do not try to remove twine from the bale chamber
or the knotter while the baler is in operation.

1.1.12.2 Fire prevention and first aid
Be prepared for emergencies.
Keep a first aid kit available for use on small cuts
and scratches.
Keep one or more fire extinguishers of the correct
type. Examine fire extinguishers regularly as stated
by the manufacturer. Make sure that the fire
extinguishers are charged and in operating
condition.
Crop material is flammable, there is a risk of fire.
Use a water type fire extinguisher or other water
source for a fire in crop.
For fires in material other than crop, such as oil or
electrical components, use a dry chemical fire
extinguisher with an ABC rating.
Keep fire extinguishers easy to access where fires
can occur.
Frequently remove crop material from the machine
and examine for components that are too hot. Do
checks on the machine each day for noises that
are not usual. Unusual noises can indicate a worn
out component that can cause too much heat.
If flame cutting, welding, arc welding, or grinding
is to be done on the machine or attachments, clear
crop material and unwanted material from around
the area. Make sure that the area below the work
area is clear of flammable material because falling
molten metal and sparks can cause ignition in the
material.
At the end of each season, or if the machine will
sit for more than 48 hours after baling high
moisture crops, do one of the following:
• If the machine has a bale ejector, use the bale
ejector to eject the bale.
• Fill the bale chamber with dry crop

1.1.12.3 High pressure leaks
WARNING: Hydraulic fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin or
eyes.
Serious personal injury, blindness, or
death can occur.
Relieve the pressure from the system
or component before disconnecting
components. Wear personal
protective gear while working on the
machine or equipment. Use a piece of
cardboard to check for leaks. Never
use your hand.
Fluid that leaks from the hydraulic system or the
fuel injection system is high pressure and is not
easily seen. The fluid can go into the skin causing
injury.
Fluid that is injected into the skin must be
surgically removed immediately. If not removed
immediately, infection and reaction can occur. Go
immediately to a physician who knows about this
type of injury.

Fig. 24
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to look for
possible leaks. Do not use your bare hand. Wear
leather gloves for hand protection and safety
goggles for eye protection.
Remove all pressure before you loosen hydraulic
lines. Lower equipment in the up position, close
the accumulator valve, and stop the engine.
Tighten all connections before you apply pressure.

1.1.12.4 Tire safety
Examine tires for cuts, bulges, and correct
pressure. Replace worn or damaged tires. When
tire service is needed, have a qualified tire
mechanic service the tire. Tire changing can be
very hazardous and must be done by qualified tire
mechanic using proper tools and equipment.
Always use the correct tire size.
Tire explosion and/or serious injury can result from
over inflation. Do not exceed the tire inflation
pressures.
Do not inflate a tire that is seriously under inflated
or has been run flat. Have the tire examined by
qualified tire mechanic. GUID-CB65B01E-C8CB-43E0-A943-F2A9567A2E73-high.jpg [High]
