1. Introduction
The KRONE Round Baler is equipped with all safety devices (guards). Not all danger areas in this machine can be
rendered completely safe as the machine must remain functional. You will find corresponding danger signs on the
machine which refer to the remaining danger.
We have represented the danger signs in the form of so-called warning symbols. You will find important notes on the
positions of these danger signs as well as their meaning and supplementary information below!
Familiarise yourself with the meaning of the adjacent warning symbol. The adjacent text and the
selected fixing point on the machine give information on the special danger areas in the machine.

1.3 Working Methods and Operating Principles of the KR 130 und KR 160
Round Balers
The round baler compresses crops such as hay, straw, grass silage etc. into round bales. On completion of the baling
procedure the bale is wrapped with twine, net or synthetic foil, depending on the type of wrapping material selected.
Due to their form, the round bales have good storage properties, can be transported simply and can be processed
further with ease.
The working method can be described as follows:
The crop is collected into a swath and taken in by the pick up, transported to the centre by the augers (only for wide
pick ups) and enters the bale chamber via the transport roller. In the bale chamber the crop is turned by the rotating
roller panel and rolled up. A roller-shaped round bale forms as the crop continues to enter. The bale becomes
increasingly compressed as more crop is fed into the round baler. Volume and baling pressure gauges are located on
the left and right in the front side of the baler for the corresponding side of the bale. A soon as the set baling pressure
on the baling pressure preselection gauge is reached, the wrapping process is started. Depending on the type of
equipment, the wrapping process can be started hydraulically or mechanically by hand using an actuating cord. On
completion of the wrapping process, the final round bale is transported through the open tail gate out of the round
baler and set down. The idle time during use can be reduced when closing the tail gate, due to the special design of
the bale ejector as a straw trap. This increases the efficiency of the round baler.

• Always switch off the PTO shaft when undertaking maintenance, care and repair work.
• Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Only use PTO shafts specified by the manufacturer which have an appropriate overload
coupling.
• Only attach and detach the PTO shaft when the drive shaft is switched off, the engine is
switched off and the ignition key has been removed!
• Lay hydraulic hoses, electric cables and synthetic cords such that they are not under
tension and do not come into contact with the tractor wheels when driving round
corners.
• Take particular care on and around the tractor and the round baler when attaching
and detaching the round baler!
2. Preparing the Round Baler
2.1 Special Notes on Safety
The maximum drive speed for the round baler is 540 rpm.
Switch off the PTO shaft as soon as the round baler jams.
2.2 Adapting the Swinging Drawbar to the Tractor
Theswinging drawbaronthe roundbaleris designedforthe variousmethods of attaching(above inthree-point
linkage; below e.g. swinging drawbar). It must be mounted and adjusted in accordance with the different attachment
options for the tractor.
When mounting anything on the swinging drawbar always observe the following:
• The teeth in the slots must be in the same position on both sides of the swinging drawbar.
• First tighten the screw in the round holes. Make sure that the teeth in the slots mesh.
• Only then should the screws in the slots be tightened.
• Before starting work park the round baler on firm ground. Secure from rolling away.
• Particular care is required when attaching the round baler to the tractor. Make sure that
there is nobody in the danger area round the tractor and round baler.
• After attaching successfully, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away.

Attachment
Height Adjustment of the Swinging
Drawbar
• Attach the round baler.
• Leave the machine on the jack
stands (4).
• Loosen the fastening screws (3) - do
not take them out.
• Bring the machine into the specified
position by turning on the jack
stands.
• Tighten up the screws in the order
described above.
Mount the swinging drawbar (1) in the upper attachment
holes in the brackets (2) on the front cross carrier. The
height adjustment of the swinging drawbar is made as
described below in this chapter.
Rotate the swinging drawbar (1) through 180 degrees
about the lateral axis and mount it in the lower holes in
the brackets (2).
For optimum crop collection by the pick up, the round
baler must be attached horizontally to the tractor, if
necessary tilted forwards slightly. A corresponding fine
adjustment of the swinging drawbar (1) can be made at
the slots (2). This adjustment can be made while the
baler is coupled to the tractor.

2.3 Adapting the PTO Shaft
Attach the round baler to the tractor to adapt the length
of the PTO shaft. The PTO shaft is at its shortest when
going round tight corners. To measure, take the PTO
shaft apart and and slide the two halves (1) and (2) on
to the machine and the tractor. The exact procedure for
adapting the length can be found in the PTO shaft
manufacturer's operating instructions.
2.4 Cleaning and Checking the Double Twine Guide Starter Rollers
Before working on the starter rollers, switch off the PTO shaft, switch off the engine and
remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away.
The starter rollers are wrapped in adhesive tape to
protect them from corrosion. Remove the adhesive tape
and clean the rollers of any residual adhesive. The
pressure rollers (3) must be able to be rotated easily.
Turn the drive roller (1) to check. If the pressure rollers
do not rotate or only rotate with difficulty, refer to the
notes in the chapter "Care and Maintenance".
• Before working on the PTO shaft, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Secure the tractor together with the round baler from rolling away.
• When adapting the PTO shaft there must be nobody between the tractor and the round
baler.

2.5 Adjusting the Height of the Wheel
Hubs
• Park the round baler on firm ground
and secure from rolling away with
wheel chocks.
• To jack up the round baler, use a
suitable jack and jack stands.
• Risk of crushing from falling
components.
For adaption to different tyre sizes and working
conditions, the height of the wheel hubs can be
adjusted on both sides of the round baler.
To adapt: • Take off the tyres (make sure to observe
the "Tyres" section in the chapter "Care
and Maintenance").
• Loosen the fastening screws (2) in the
flange plate (1), take it out and re-attach the
flange plate in a different position.
• Tighten up the screws again (tightening
moments are listed in the chapter "Care
and Maintenance").

the round baler!
• Observe the tractor's maximum
permissable supported and trailer
loads .
2.6 Putting the Round Baler into Operation
Attach the round baler to the attachment device, e.g. to
the attachment linkage (1), and secure as directed.
Attach the actuating cord (2) to the tractor. Make sure
that the actuating cord is not under tension and does
not come into contact with the tyres when driving round
corners.
This also applies for bottom attachment, not shown
