Instructions Manual 9
Personal safety as well as
other people’s is one of
our major concerns in the
design and development
of a machine. However,
every year there are a lot
of accidents that could
have been prevented. They
happen mainly due to lack
of attention and observation
of safety rules during the
operation. Read this manual
carefully and keep alert all
the time.
Never operate the machine
if you are under the effect
of alcoholic beverages,
medicine or drugs that might
harm your alert state or your
coordination.
Wear Personal Protective
Equipment – PPE – when
you operate the machine.
Prolonged exposure to noise
might cause harm or hearing
loss.
Dress appropriately when
you operate the machine
– tying long hair and not
wearing loose-tting clothes
is recommended. Take off
rings, necklaces and other
objects that might get
stuck in the machine parts
or moving components.
Loose-fitting clothes and
long hair might get caught
by mechanisms in operation.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Make use of appropriate protection
on hands and eyes when you check if
there are any high-pressure leaks in the
hydraulic system. Use a piece of wood
or a card instead of using your hands
to isolate and identify a hydraulic uid
leakage.
In case you have been injured by high-
pressure hydraulic uids, seek medical
help immediately. Serious infection or a
toxic reaction might occur when hydraulic
uid gets in contact with the skin surface.
Remember: moving components due
to inertia keep moving for longer even
when the machine is turned off. Before
you touch any machine parts, turn off
the power supply, check and listen if
there is no evidence of movement. Only
touch any machine components if you
are absolutely sure that it is stationary.
Always be alert!
Do not support the machine on concrete
blocks, hollow bricks or any other
supports that might crumble by the
effect of extended loads. When necessary,
always use a safe support.
Possible alterations in the machine might
compromise its safety, in addition to the
people involved. In this case, the user
is the only responsible for occasional
accidents.

PRESENTATION
FUNCTIONING
COLLECTING:
Retractable springs collect the material from the ridge and take it to the feeding
table.
FEEDING:
The transporting fork introduces the material, from the feeding table into the
pressing chamber.
PRESSING:
Within the chamber, the material is pressed by a piston into rectangular bales.
TYING:
When the bale reaches the predetermined size, a mechanism activates the
needles, which take the other end of the cord up to the knotmaker where the
tying is performed.
NOTE:
Optionally a hoist can be used which unloads the bale into a cart connected to
the machine.
The Baler was planned to operate when being towed by a farm tractor, activated
through its power socket. It collects, presses into rectangular bales and ties
automatically, using plastic or natural cord (sisal), forage plants used in producting
hay, such as: coast-cross, alfalfa, oats, rhodes, rye-grass, clover etc., native
grasses and stalks of crops such as: wheat, soybean, rice etc.

14 Instructions Manual
TRUCK TRANSPORTING
Whenever it is necessary to transport the machine over long distances, or if there is
a need for the use of public roads, transport must be carried out on a truck or cart.
The machine must be completely inside the bodywork.
It is essential that the header is xed on the bodywork oorboard, as well as adding
wooden shims, which must be xed on the oorboard. Use a sufcient supply of
cables, moorings, ropes etc., to immobilize the load and keep it stable over the truck
or wagon. Be alert in relation to the load total height, mainly under the power grid,
viaducts and others. Check periodically load conditions (loose cables, shims and others)
during the trip. Always follow current trafc legislation.
IMPORTANT!
Keep a safe distance when you lift the machine using a winch.
Do not allow children or people to stand nearby during the lifting.
