Agricultural Chemicals
Agricultural chemicals can be very hazardous. Improper
use of fertilizer, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and
pesticides can injure people, plants, animals, soil and
other people’s property.
Always read and follow all manufacturers’ instructions
before opening any chemical container.
Even if you think you know the instructions, read and
follow instructions each time you use a chemical.
Use the same precautions when adjusting, servicing,
cleaning or storing the machine as are used when
installing chemicals into the hoppers or tanks.
Inform anyone who comes in contact with chemicals of
the potential hazards involved and the safety precautions
required.
Stand upwind and away from smoke from a chemical fire.
Store or dispose of all unused chemicals only in a manner
as specified by the chemical manufacturer.
TRAVEL ON PUBLIC ROADS
FIG. 14: Make sure you understand the speed, brakes,
steering, stability, and load characteristics of this machine
and the tractor before you travel on public roads.
Use good judgement when traveling on public roads.
Maintain complete control of the machine at all times.
Never coast down hills.
The maximum speed of farm equipment is governed by
local regulations. Adjust travel speed to maintain control
at all times. See the Specifications division for the
maximum speed for this machine.
Make sure the tractor is in the proper operating condition
according to the tractor operator manual. Make sure the
tractor brakes and the machine brakes, if equipped, are
adjusted correctly. The tractor must have enough weight
and braking capacity, especially when operating on roads
and terrain that is not even. To achieve proper braking
capacity, use tractor of recommended size and weight to
tow the machine. See the Specifications division for the
minimum tractor weight.
Familiarize yourself with and obey all road regulations that
apply to your machine. Consult your local law
enforcement agency for local regulations regarding
movement of farm equipment on public roads. Use
headlamps, flashing warning lamps, taillamps and turn
signals, day and night, unless prohibited by local law.
Make sure all the flashers are operating prior to driving on
the road. Make sure reflectors are correctly installed, in
good condition, and wiped clean. Make sure the Slow
Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem, if equipped, is clean,
visible, and correctly mounted on the rear of the machine.
Do not operate the baler on the road with a bale in the
chamber.

Safety
Be aware of other traffic on the road. Keep well over to
your own side of the road and pull over, whenever
possible, to let faster traffic pass.
Be aware of the overall width, length, height, and weight
of the equipment. Be careful when transporting the
machine on narrow roads and across narrow bridges.
Always install the safety transport chain between the
implement and the tractor drawbar.
• Use a safety transport chain with a strength rating
equal to or more than the gross weight of the towed
machines.
• Connect the safety transport chain to the tractor
drawbar and use a retainer on the hitch pin.
• Supply only enough slack in the safety transport
chain to permit turning.
• Do not use the safety transport chain as a tow chain
for towing.
FIG. 15: Watch for overhead wires and other
obstructions. Avoid contact with electrical power lines.
Contact with electrical power lines can cause electrical
shock, resulting in very serious injury or death.

MAINTENANCE
General Information
FIG. 16: Before doing any unplugging, lubricating,
servicing, cleaning, or adjusting:
• Park the machine on a solid level surface.
• Disengage the tractor PTO.
• Put the tractor transmission in PARK and apply the
tractor parking brake.
• Turn off the control console.
• Stop the tractor engine and take the key with you.
• Apply the baler flywheel brake.
• Apply the baler parking brake (if equipped).
• Look and Listen! Make sure all moving parts have
stopped.
• Put blocks in front of and behind the wheels of the
machine and the tractor before working on or under
the machine.
Do not leave the tractor or implement unattended with the
engine running.
Do not pull crop, twine, or any other object from the
machine while the tractor engine is running. Moving parts
can pull you in faster than you can move away.
Do not attempt to service or adjust the machine until all
moving parts have stopped.
Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness,
especially wheel mounting hardware.
After unplugging, lubricating, servicing, cleaning, or
adjusting the machine make sure all tools and equipment
have been removed.
Make sure electrical connectors are clean and free of dirt
or grease before connecting.
Check for loose, broken, missing, or damaged parts.
Make sure the baler is in good repair. Make sure all
guards and shields are in position.
Be aware of the size of parts when doing service work.
Never stand under or near a part being moved with lifting
equipment.

Safety
FIG. 17: Never service, check or adjust the drive chains
or belts while the tractor engine is running.
FIG. 18: Do not operate the machine with the drive shaft
shields open or removed. Entanglement in rotating drive
shafts can cause serious injury or death.
Stay clear of rotating components.
Never start the tractor with the PTO engaged.
Make sure rotating guards turn freely.
A loose yoke can slip off the tractor PTO shaft and result
in injury to persons or damage to the machine.
When installing a quick disconnect yoke, the spring
activated locking pins must slide freely and be seated in
the groove on the PTO shaft.
Pull on the implement driveline to make sure the quick
disconnect yoke cannot be pulled off the PTO shaft.
FIG. 19: Disengage the tractor PTO. Turn off the tractor
engine. Remove the key. Take the key with you. Apply the
flywheel brake. Engage the knotter/needle lockout before
threading the needles, threading the knotters or adjusting
the twine tensioners.
Serious injury can result from threading the needles,
threading the knotters or adjusting the twine tensioners
with a baler running.
The needle frame and the knotters can move without
putting hay in the baler.
When working with or around the needles or knotters
always engage the knotter/needle lockout.
Do not try to remove twine from the bale chamber or
knotter while the baler is running.
