The round baler comes complete with
the following standard-issue
documents:
-Machine’s user manual;
-CE declaration of conformity.
1.4 DESCRIPTION AND USE
OF THE MACHINE
The Tuareg Cut Round Baler
manufactured by MASCAR is a machine
bearing the CE marking in conformity
with the provisions of the directive
98/37/EC, as described in the
declaration of conformity each round
baler comes with.
The machine is basically made up of a
self-contained structure of metal panels
fitted on a bearing frame. Inside, it houses
various mechanisms for picking up the
agricultural products and for pressing them
into cylindrical bales. The entire assembly
is supported by an axle with tyres so that it
can be transported, and features a height-
adjustable drawbar for hitching to and
towing by the tractor.
The motive power required for the
machine’s operation is transmitted from the
tractor by means of the power-takeoff shaft
(bearing CE marking) and the connection
of the round baler’s electrical system to the
tractor’s 12V power socket. The round
baler’s electrical system controls the
control unit and the lighting system.
The round baler’s hydraulic system is
controlled by means of a tractor-mounted
hydraulic unit connected to the round baler
by means of two quick-release flexible
hoses attached to the couplings located on
the tractor. The hydraulic unit features two
levers that enable the various operations to
be selected from the tractor.
The levers control the cylinders opening
and closing the round bale unloading gate
as well as the pickup cylinder.
The round baler is a machine designed
solely for use in farming, for the picking
up of hay, straw, maize stubble and
green forage and their pressing into
cylindrical-shaped bales.

DANGER
The operator must use the machine in
conformity with the instructions herein,
bearing in mind the standards in force
regarding accident prevention, the

been measured with the machine running
unladen, giving the following results:
- Sound pressure level LpAm (A) ............. dB 82
- Sound power level LwA (A) ............... dB 102
WARNING
The values measured reveal that the
machine has a high noise level. When
operating the machine, the operator
must use ear protection, such as
appropriate safety earmuffs or ear
plugs, to prevent damage to hearing
(including long-term effects).

SECTION 2
Safety and accident prevention
2.1 SAFETY
The user is responsible for making sure the
personnel is instructed on the hazards deriving
from accidents, the devices fitted for the
operator’s safety and the general safety
requirements prescribed by the directives and
legislation of the country where the machine is
used. The safety of the operator is one of the
primary concerns of a manufacturer of machinery.
In designing and producing a new machine, the
manufacturer tries to foresee all the possible
hazards and, of course, adopt appropriate safety
measures. Nonetheless, the level of accidents
caused by careless or inexpert use of various
machines is still high. Distraction, thoughtlessness
and overconfidence often lead to accidents, as
can fatigue and drowsiness. Consequently, this
manual, and the safety rules in particular, must be
read very carefully.
DANGER
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility
for the non-observance of the safety rules and
requirements prescribed by the legislation of
the country where the machine is used, and of
the instructions herein.
Pay attention when you see this symbol in the
