General Aspects
1 General Aspects
These operating instructions contain basic
instructions to follow for assembly, operation and
maintenance. For this reason, these operating
instructions must be read by operating personnel
before commissioning and use, and need to be
available for easy reference.
Follow both the general safety instructions contained
in the section about safety and the specific safety
instructions contained in the other sections.
1.1 Intended Use
The round balers are pick-up balers with baling
chamber. They compact agricultural material, such as
hay, straw or grass silage, into round bales.

General Aspects
1.2.6 Operation in Accordance with
Intended Use
The Round Pack are designed solely for normal
agricultural use (operation in accordance with intended
use).
Any use of the machine for other purposes is deemed
not to be in accordance with intended use. The
manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from this,
the user alone bears the risk for this.
Operation in accordance with intended use also includes
observing the operating, maintenance and service
instructions specified by the manufacturer.
Permissible baling material:
grass fodder such as hay, stray and silage.
The collection and baling of other
materials is permitted only with the
prior approval of the manufacturer.
The basic requirements in any case
are swath form loading of the baling
material and automatic lifting by the
pick-up.
1.2.7 General Technical Data
• Road driving is permitted only when the bale chamber
is empty and closed.
• Permissible top speed: 40 km/h (30 km/h)
• For machines which have no brakes, the pulling
tractor’s tare weight must correspond to the permitted
operating specifications, or at least have a weight
which corresponds to the baler’s tare weight.
• For machines which have an operating permit, follow
the conditions contained therein!
• When operating the baler in the field, a supporting
load of 600 kg (on the ring hitch) should not be
exceeded.
• Switch off the electrical operating control when driving
on roads!
The rear flap must only be operated if the
baler is attached correctly to the tractor. If
this is not respected there is a risk of
tipping to the rear.
