Round balers Fortima F 1250 (MC)/F 1600 (MC) and Fortima V 1500 (MC)/V 1800 (MC) are
pick-up balers. They compact agricultural material such as hay, straw or grass silage into round
bales.
The round balers Fortima F 1250 (MC)/F 1600 (MC) are equipped with a fix bale chamber. The
fix bale chamber of Fortima F 1250 (MC) enables baling of round bales with a diameter of
approx. 1.25 m; whereas the bale chamber of Fortima F 1600 (MC) enables baling with a
diameter of approx. 1.55 m.
The round balers Fortima V 1500 (MC) and V 1800 (MC) are equipped with a variable bale
chamber.
The variable bale chamber of Fortima V 1500 (MC) enables baling of round bales with a
diameter of approx. 1.00 - 1.50 m; the variable bale chamber of Fortima V 1800 (MC) enables
baling with a diameter of approx. 1.00 - 1.80 m.
The width of the round bales amounts to 1.20 m. The round balers are equipped with quadruple
twine tying (with magnetic coupling) and/or net wrapping systems.

4.2.1 Personnel Qualification and Training
The machine may be used, maintained and repaired only by persons who are familiar with it
and have been instructed about the dangers connected with it. The operator must define areas
of responsibility and monitoring of personnel. Should personnel lack the required knowledge,
they must receive the required training and instruction. The operator must ensure that the
contents of these operating instructions have been fully understood by personnel.
Repair work not described in these operating instructions should only be performed by
authorised service centres.

4.2.2 Dangers in Case of Non-compliance with the Safety Instructions
Failure to follow the safety instructions could result in personal injury and environmental
hazards as well as damage to the machine. If the safety instructions are not respected, this
could result in the forfeiture of any claims for damages.
Failure to follow the safety instructions could result, for example, in the following hazards:
• Endangering of persons due to not protected working areas.
• Breakdown of important machine functions
• Failure of prescribed methods for repair and maintenance
• Endangering of persons due to mechanical and chemical effects
• Damage to the environment due to leaking hydraulic oil

4.2.3 Safety-conscious work practices
Always observe the safety instructions set out in these operating instructions, all existing
accident prevention rules and any internal work, operating and safety rules issued by the
operator.
The safety and accident prevention regulations of the responsible professional associations are
binding.
The safety instructions provided by the vehicle manufacturer should also be observed.
Observe the applicable traffic laws when using public roads.
Be prepared for emergencies. Keep the fire extinguisher and first aid box within reach. Keep
emergency numbers for doctors and fire brigade close to the telephone.
Pos: 10.6.4 /BA/Si cherheit/Sicher heitsbewußtes Arbeiten_ Teil2 @ 227\mod_13927988 59194_78.docx @ 1830312 @ 3 @ 1
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check the machine for crop or dirt deposits and clean as
required.
In very dry operating conditions, when crop or dust is being swirled up, the accumulation of
grass, crop and other deposits may increase. To ensure that the machine functions perfectly
and to reduce the risk of fire, all accumulations must be removed.
•Check and clean the machine every day before using it for the first time.
•Regularly check and clean the machine during the working day.

4.3 Safety Instructions and Accident Prevention Regulations
1 Please follow all generally applicable safety and accident prevention regulations in addition
to the safety instructions contained in these operating instructions!
2 The attached warning and safety signs provide important information for safe operation. Pay
attention to these for your own safety!
3 When using public roads, make sure to observe the applicable traffic regulations!
4 Make sure that you are familiar with all equipment and controls as well as with their
functions before you begin working with the machine. It is too late to learn this when you are
using the machine for work!
5 The user should wear close fitting clothes. Avoid wearing loose or baggy clothing.
6 Keep the machine clean to prevent the danger of fire!
7 Before starting or moving the machine, make certain that nobody is in the vicinity of the
machine! (Watch for children!) Make sure that you have a clear view!
8 Carrying passengers during operation and transport on the working implement is not
permitted.
9 Couple implements correctly! Attach and secure implements to specified devices only!
10 When attaching or detaching implements, place the supporting devices in the correct
positions!
11 Use extreme caution when attaching or detaching implements onto or from the tractor!
12 Observe permitted axle loads, gross weight and transport dimensions!
13 Check and attach transport equipment, such as lighting, warning devices and protective
equipment!
14 Actuating mechanisms (cables, chains, linkages etc.) for remote controlled devices must be
positioned in such a way that no movements are unintentionally triggered in any transport or
working positions.
15 Ensure that implements are in the prescribed condition for on-road travel and lock them in
place in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions!
16 Never leave the driver's seat when the vehicle is moving!
17 Always drive at the correct speed for the prevailing driving conditions! Avoid sudden
changes in direction when travelling uphill or downhill or across a gradient!
18 Hitched implements affect the driving, steering and braking response of the machine. Make
sure that you are able to brake and steer the machine as required!
19 Take into account the extension radius and/or inertia of an implement when turning corners!
20 Start up implements only when all safety devices have been attached and set in the
required position!
21 Keep safety equipment in good condition. Replace missing or damaged parts.
22 Keep clear of the working range of the machine at all times!
23 Do not stand within the turning and swivel range of the implement!
24 Never operate the hydraulic folding frames if anyone is inside the swivel range!
