2.4.1. Hydraulic System
Max. operating pressure of the hydraulic system:
• 210 bar
During assembly work on the hydraulic system, in particular if
accumulators are used (Figure 4):
• Depressurize hydraulic system
(control unit to "Lower")
• Secure hydraulic operated parts (pick-up, cutting device)
mechanically against unexpected movements.
According to DIN 20066 must hoses not be older than six years,
including storage time.
2.5. Net knife safeguard
Attention, risk of injury by cutting! During work in the
vicinity of the net knife: fit net knife safeguard.
When maintenance or assembly work is performed in the
vicinity of the net knife, the net knife must be mechanically
secured to prevent unintentional falling-down:
(Figure 5) insert and secure safety chain with spring clip.
After termination of maintenance and assembly work: remove
net knife safeguard.

2.6. Guard casings
To open the guard casings on the machine, turn the catches
concerned with a 13 mm spanner slightly in counter clockwise
direction and pull off the guard casing from the machine.
 Catches at the left and right guard casing: Figure 6
 Catches at the front guard casing: Figure 7
For closing press the guard casing against the machine until
the locking of the catches can be heard.
Attention, danger of injury! Never operate the machine
with open guard casings!
2.7. Maintenance Platform and Ladder
Attention, danger of falling! Never step onto the
maintenance platform (Figure 8), while the machine is in
motion. Before stepping onto the maintenance platform: stop
machine, switch-off power take-off shaft and tractor motor and
wait for standstill of the machine.
Step only via the ladder onto the maintenance platform and
leave it the same way. Never step onto the hinged up ladder –
always hinge down ladder prior to enter it.
To step onto the maintenance platform: Unlock and hinge down
the ladder (Figure 9).
Before machine can move on: Hinge up ladder (Figure 9) and
lock it.
