4.2.2 MACHINE WARNINGS
DANGER!
CAUTION!
• Keep hydraulic couplings clean at all times. Protect the hydraulic couplings from damage and dirt by plugging
them with the plastic caps provided by the manufacturer.
Inspect and replace the damaged hydraulic lines and couplings as required. Replace each hydraulic hose in 5
years from the manufacturing date identied on the hose body.
Verify that the hydraulic lines and couplings are tightly closed before pressurizing. Use a piece of cardboard or
absorbent paper to detect any leaks.
• Every PTO drive shaft is supplied with its Operating and Maintenance Manual enclosed by the manufacturer.
Use all protective equipment, lines and guards of the PTO drive shaft as intended to and keep them in a
perfect condition.
Note: Maintain the PTO drive shaft by strictly following its Manual enclosed by the shaft manufacturer.
Verify the following before installing the PTO drive shaft:
• The tractor output RPM to the shaft meets the required RPM (refer to the data on the nameplate located on
the machine tow bar).
• The sense of rotation matches the sense of rotation on the warning sticker.
• DO NOT install the PTO drive shaft before starting the tractor engine.
• Stop the PTO before turning back at the end of the headland and before negotiating very tight turns.
• Rest the PTO drive shaft on a suitable support when unhitching the machine from the tractor.
• Do not start rolling a bale before the baler gate is rmly locked. Verify the lock engagement on the control
panel display.
DANGER! FIRE HAZARD
Regularly remove the collected material to minimise the risk of re and prevent ingress
of the material into the mechanical components of the machine.
If a bale catches re:
• Immediately release the bale and leave the baler gate open.
• Drive away with the machine hitched from the product on the ground and other ammable
materials.
• Fight the re with an extinguisher the tractor must be equipped with.
The tractor must be equipped a re extinguisher, especially if you want to work with dry products.
• Wheels and tyres shall only be repaired by suitable trained and experienced personnel
equipped with the right tools.
