The round balers Fortima V 1500 (MC) and Fortima V 1800 (MC) are pick-up balers with
variable bale chambers. They compact agricultural crops, such as hay, straw or grass silage,
into round bales. The variable bale chamber of the Fortima V 1500 (MC) and of the Fortima V
1800 (MC) makes it possible to press round bales with a diameter of approx. 1.00 - 1.50 m and
approx. 1.00 - 1.80 m respectively. The width of the round bales is 1.20 m. Round balers are
equipped with a 4x twine tying (with magnetic transmission) and/or a net wrapping system.

WARNING! – Intake and baling of pressing material not mentioned!
Effect: Damage to the machine
Collecting and baling materials that are not cited here is permitted only in agreement with the
manufacturer. The basic requirements in any case are swath form loading of the crops and
automatic intake by the Pick-up as it passes over them.

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 Always attach ballast weights properly to the fixing points provided!
13 Observe permitted axle loads, gross weight and transport dimensions!
14 Check and attach transport equipment, such as lighting, warning devices and protective
equipment!
15 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.
16 Ensure that implements are in the prescribed condition for on-road travel and lock them in
place in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions!
17 Never leave the driver's seat when the vehicle is moving!
18 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!
19 Hitched implements and ballast weights affect the driving, steering and braking response
of the machine. Make sure that you are able to brake and steer the machine as required!
20 Take into account the extension radius and/or inertia of an implement when turning
corners!
21 Start up implements only when all safety devices have been attached and set in the
required position!
22 Keep safety equipment in good condition. Replace missing or damaged parts.
23 Keep clear of the working range of the machine at all times!
24 Do not stand within the turning and swivel range of the implement!
25 Never operate the hydraulic folding frames if anyone is inside the swivel range!

Safety

26 Parts operated by external power (e.g. hydraulically) can cause crushing and shearing
injuries!
27 Before leaving the tractor, lower the implement onto the ground, apply the parking brake,
switch off the engine and remove the ignition key!

4.4 Hitched Implements
1Secure implements against rolling.
2Observe the maximum supported load on the trailer coupling, swing drawbar or hitch!
3If a drawbar coupling is used, make certain that there is enough play at the coupling
point.

4.5 PTO operation
1Use only PTO shafts specified by the manufacturer!
2The guard tube and guard cone of the PTO shaft and the PTO guard must be attached
and in good working condition (on the implement side, too)!
3Make sure that the required tube covers are in place for PTO shafts in transport and
working position!
4Before installing or detaching PTO shafts, disengage the PTO, switch off the engine and
remove the ignition key!
5When using PTO shafts with an overload safety or free-running coupling which are not
shielded by the guard on the tractor, mount the overload safety or free-running coupling
on the implement side!
6Always make sure that the PTO shaft is properly installed and secured!
7Attach chains to prevent the PTO shaft guard from rotating with the shaft!
8Before switching on the PTO, make sure that the selected PTO speed of the tractor
matches the permissible implement speed!
9Before switching on the PTO shaft make sure that no person is in the danger zone of the
device!
10Never switch on the PTO if the engine is switched off!
11No one should be in the vicinity of the rotating PTO or PTO shaft when the PTO is in use.
12Always switch off the PTO shaft when the angle is too large or the PTO shaft is not
required!
13Caution! After disengaging the PTO danger due to the flywheel running on! Keep away
from the implement during this time. The machine may be worked on only if it is
completely at standstill and if the flywheel is secured by the parking brake.
14Cleaning, lubricating or adjusting PTO driven implements or the PTO shaft only with PTO
disengaged, engine switched off and ignition key withdrawn! Secure the fly-wheel with the
parking brake.
15Place the disconnected PTO shaft onto the support provided!
16After detaching the PTO shaft, attach the protective cover to the PTO end!
17If damage occurs, correct this immediately before using the implement!
