Hitching the ma-
chine
Increased danger of injury
While hitching the machine onto the tractor an increased danger of in-
jury occurs. Therefore:
•prevent the tractor from rolling away, shut down the engine and re-
move the ignition key
•never stay between tractor and machine during hitching
•mount and secure the pto drive shaft at the pto
In case of negligence damages to the machine or serious personal in-
juries can occur.
Pto drive shaft
Only use the pto drive shaft complying with the manufacturer’s speci-
fication. Other pto drive shafts with slip clutches can permit higher
torques. Higher torques can damage the machine.
Pto drive shaft operation manual
Regard to the operation manual of the pto drive shaft manufacturer.
Here you find instructions for correct handling of the pto drive shaft.
Negligence can lead to damages at the pto drive shaft and to the ma-
chine.
Fix and check pto drive shaft protection
The rotating pto drive shaft is secured by a pto drive shaft protection.
Take care that the pto drive shaft protection is not damaged. Pto drive
shaft protection must be fixed through the chains, both at tractor and
machine side. Unprotected pto drive shafts can cause serious person-
al injuries.
Pto speed 540 rpm
The prescribed pto speed of maximum 540 rpm may not be exceeded.
Higher pto rpm can cause damages to the machine.

Safety instructions
15
Hydraulics
Hydraulic couplings only pressureless
Only couple the hydraulic hoses to the tractor when both tractor and
machine hydraulics are pressureless. Hydraulics under pressure can
cause accidental movements of the machine.
High pressure in the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. All tubes, hoses and
couplings must be controlled regularly for leaks and external damag-
es. Only use suitable tools when searching for leaks. Immediately re-
pair damages. Leaking oil can cause injuries and fire. When having in-
juries visit a doctor immediately.

16
Safety instructions
Road transport
Pay attention to a road-safe condition
When driving on the local roads, the machine must correspond to the
current traffic prescriptions. To which e.g. belongs:
•mounting of lighting, warning and protection installations
•comply with the permittable transport dimensions and weights,
maximum permissible axle loads, tyre carrying capacity, total
weights and national speed limits
•taking care of the maximum permitted speed of 25 or 40 km/h
In case of negligence, driver and owner of the machine are fully liable.
Check tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure regularly. Wrong tyre pressure decreases the
life of the tyres and can cause unstable driving characteristics and ac-
cidents.
Prohibition of transporting people on the machine
Nobody and nothing shall be transported on the machine during trans-
port. Transporting of people or objects on the machine is perilous and
prohibited.
Changed driving and braking handling
Because of the hitched machine the driving and braking handling
changes. Especially when driving curves the dimensions and mass of
the machine have to be taken into account. A not adapted driving style
can lead to accidents.
Adapted driving speed
Under bad road circumstances and at high driving speeds very high
forces can appear, which load or overload the tractor and machine to
much. Adapt the driving speed according to the road circumstances.
A not adapted driving speed can lead to accidents.
Do not transport bales in the bale chamber
Never transport bales in the bale chamber. Transporting a bale influ-
ences the tractor’s steering and braking capacities. Personal or ma-
chine damages can occur.

Safety instructions
17
Working with the
machine
First use only after instruction
The machine may at the first time of use only be brought into use by
employees of the dealer, factory representatives or employees of the
manufacturer. False use after bringing the machine into use without in-
structions can cause damages to the machine or accidents.
Take care of technical correct condition
Only bring the machine into use in a technical correct condition. Check
all important parts and replace defective parts before use. Defective
parts can cause material or personal damages.
Do not remove protective covers
The protective covers should not be removed or evaded. Check all
protective covers before using. Unprotected machine parts can cause
heavy or deadly accidents.
Prohibition of transporting people on the machine
Nobody and nothing shall be transported on the machine during trans-
port. Transporting of people or objects on the machine is perilous and
prohibited.
Check the direct surroundings
Before driving and bringing into use of the machine the direct sur-
roundings must be checked. Take care of sufficient view. Only start
driving when no persons or objects are in the direct surroundings. Per-
ilous injuries can occur.
Tighten bolts and nuts
Check bolts and nuts regularly for being tight and tighten if necessary.
Because of using the machine bolts can get loose. Damages to the
machine or accidents can be caused.
Behaviour at troubles
At functional troubles stop and secure the machine immediately. Rem-
edy the trouble immediately or commission a workshop. Continuing
working with the machine cause accidents or damages.
Pto rotates after disengaging
After disengaging or switching off the pto, the machine will continue
running because of inertia. Keep a safe distance to the machine until
the pick-up and the moving parts really stand still.
Cornering or manoeuvring
When cornering, anticipate centrifugal forces caused by the distance
of the centre of gravity of the machine behind the tractor. Beware of
the turning radius and the inertia of the machine.
Bale ejection
Keep clear of the bale ejection area. Danger of crushing. Which can
cause severe injuries.
Never stay behind the machine when a bale is coming out.

18
Safety instructions
Drive adapted to ground conditions
Always drive with caution on sloping or moving ground.
Respect the maximum load permitted per axle and the total working
weight authorised.
Blockage of a security device
In case of a blockage or operation of a security device, never work on
the machine without
•disengaging the tractor pto first
•switching off the electronic control system
•stopping the engine and removing the ignition key
Never be tempted to hand feed or unblock the machine while it is run-
ning. Serious or deadly injuries can occur.

Safety instructions
19
Unhitching the ma-
chine
Increased danger of injury
While unhitching the machine from the tractor an increased danger of
injury occurs. Therefore:
•prevent the tractor from rolling away, shut down the engine and re-
move the ignition key
•never stay between tractor and machine during unhitching
•take care of a level and secure surface for the machine
•take care of a secure lock of the jack stand
•place the pto drive shaft at the support or hang it in the chain

Safety instructions
Care and mainte-
nance
Observe the care and maintenance intervals
Observe the prescribed intervals and those stated in the operation
manual for recurring checks and inspections. In case of negligence of
the intervals damages to the machine or accidents can be caused.
Use original parts only
Lots of components have special properties which decides for the sta-
bility and the function of the machine. Only the parts and options de-
livered from the manufacturer have been tested and released. Other
products can interrupt the function of the machine or can harm the se-
curity. When using not original parts the warranty and liability of the
manufacturer reduces to nil and void.
At all care and maintenance work:
•switch off pto
•make the hydraulics pressureless
•unhitch the tractor if possible
•switch off the engine and remove the ignition key
•make sure the tractor and machine are positioned on a firm and
level area, support if necessary
•do not use parts of the machine as climbing help, use suitable
climbing helps on the contrary
•prevent the machine from rolling away
Only when observing these prescriptions a secured working during
care and maintenance work is guaranteed.
Interrupt electric power supply
Before working on the electrical device, separate this from the electric
power supply. Supplies being charged can cause material or personal
damages.
Exchange hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses can age without external recognizable indications.
We therefore recommend to exchange all hydraulic hoses every three
years. Defective hydraulic hoses can cause heavy or deadly injuries.
Careful when cleaning with high-pressure cleaner
The machine can be cleaned with water or steam. Clean bearings,
plastic parts and hydraulic hoses with low pressure only. Too high
pressure can damage these parts.
No aggressive wax additives
When cleaning do not use aggressive wax additives. Bright metal sur-
faces can get damaged.
Before welding work
Before welding to the hitched machine, disconnect the tractor’s bat-
tery and the dynamo. Therefore you will avoid damages to the electri-
cal installation.
Tighten bolted links
After care and maintenance work all loose bolted links must be tight-
ened. Because of loose bolted links material damages can be caused.
