Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an LSM BALER.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MANUAL BEFORE USING THE MACHINE.
Read this manual carefully for instructions on how to operate your Material Baler
correctly. In order for you to achieve the best possible results with your new Material
Baler, we kindly ask you to study the following pages carefully before use.
Please complete the specification and warranty sheets immediately after purchase.
Remember! Warranty forms must be returned to us fully completed within 30
days of purchase. Warranty registration forms can be faxed to LSM. Failure to do so
can result in loss of warranty for your machine.
This manual has been carefully written to help you maintain the condition of your
machine. Please adhere to the recommended maintenance instructions to prolong the
life of your machine.
Keep safety in mind at all times. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or damage to your machine.
All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest
information available at the time of publication.
It is the policy of LSM Engineering Ltd. to improve its products whenever possible and
practical to do so. We reserve the right to make changes or improvements at any time
without incurring any obligation to make such changes on products sold.
Thank you for choosing LSM.

Preparing the baler for transportation
Before transporting your baler please perform these basic checks to avoid injury to
persons or damage to your machine.
Check that all doors are closed and latched
Any trailing cables are tidied away
The oil bung is in the tank
All parts are bolted down parts are tight
Any loose parts are placed inside the baler
Moving the baler
Please take into consideration the centre of gravity of the machine when moving as it is
high (shown by the black spot on the diagram below). This makes the machine unstable
and top heavy. Take care to ensure that there are no personnel in the vicinity during the
lifting process and only trained personnel to perform lifting duties.
Moving the baler should only be done via the use of a forklift or pallet truck. Do not ‘drag’
the machine around by hand as this could cause injury to you, or damage to the machine.
When lifting a baler the forks or pallet truck should be inserted in the gap in the base as
shown below (approx weights 200 - 350kg’s).

7
Loading / Unloading the baler
Carefully lift the machine on to the trailer. If transporting a single baler place it on the
centre of the trailer over the axle to maintain trailer balance during transport.
If transporting multiple balers lift them onto the trailer via a fork truck. Carefully position the
balers back –back and bolt them together via the bolt holes provided on both sides of the
base and the top, this will provide extra stability during transport.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A PERSON OR BODY PART BE UNDER
THE MACHINE DURING LOADING OR MOVING
When the baler or balers are in position on the trailer they should be tied down using a
ratchet strap. One strap across the top of the baler is sufficient to keep it fixed during
transport.
When unloading the baler the same procedure applies as when loading

FIXING MULTIPLE
BALERS DURING
TRANSPORT
RATCHET STRAP

Machine Installation
Although the baler is suitable for outside use it is recommended that it is located inside or
under a protective cover. Doing so will extend the life of your machine.
It is important to know how to safely move your machine into position. To do this use either
a fork truck or a pallet truck and lift the machine via the base (page 6.) Do not attempt to
move the machine by hand as this could cause injury to you or damage the machine, in part
due to the machines high centre of gravity.
Fix your machine to a solid level surface to avoid toppling or movement while in operation.
Brackets are provided with to the baler so it can be screwed into a wall or sound concrete
ground. Use with proper fixings (M12 rawl bolts if fixing to concrete) and bolt down on either
the 2 corners of the base or the top plate as shown in below.

position out of harm’s way and does not pose any hazards to the operator.
Ensuring that the baler is plugged directly to the mains supply without the use of an
extension cable.
Supplying M12x50 rawl or other suitable fixings to fix machine to the ground or
wall.
Supplying a lock for the top door to prevent unauthorised use.
End of life information
Your baler is primarily constructed from recyclable materials. When the machine has
reached end of life the below guidelines should be followed for safe and environmentally
friendly disposal.
Drain hydraulic oil. Collect in a container and bring to your local recycling centre for

Noise Level Rating
Every care has been taken to ensure that the LSM range of balers have been designed to
work as efficiently and quietly as possible by using low noise emission components and
vibration dampening equipment..
The max decibel reading for the 250-450 baler range is 73dB. This falls below the max
rating of 83dB after which ear protection is required.
Although ear protection is not required, LSM strongly recommend the use of ear protection
when operating their products.
