DEFINITIONS
 When reading the User Guide, please note that right and left are defined as
follows:
Right side: - is to the right in the direction of traffic.
Left side: - is to the left in the direction of traffic.
AREA OF USE
Orkel hiQ Smartbaler is an all-round baler that can make round bales of grass, hay
and straw. The bale size is 1.22 m x 1.30 m (maximum) and the weight of each bale
can be up to 1000 kg.
FIRE HAZARD
Generally, there is an increase in the risk of fire when pressing dry grass and hay.
Larger dry particles mixed with oil are particularly inflammable when machine parts
become overheated!
We recommend that a fire extinguisher be mounted on the baler when working under
such conditions.
TRANSPORTATION
The baler must only be lifted
at the places marked
A lifting set must only be used if the lifting equipment can provide the required lifting
height and capacity. Short straps used at a flat angle can damage the baler.
Remember to use certified lifting chains/straps of sufficient capacity.
The round bale
r must only be used
for grass, hay and straw

BEFORE STARTING
Before you start using the machine, you must first check that there is no visible
damage to the equipment caused by transportation or loading/unloading. If there is
any damage, contact your supplier immediately.
We also require you to check that the machinery has the technical specifications
outlined in your purchase contract.
In addition, the machinery should be supplied with a bag containing (please
check contents):
• 1 chain lock 1¼“
(part no. 58031)
• 1 chain lock 1“
(part no. 55231)
• 1 pcs NV 24mm wrench (for adjustment of the net brake)
(part no. 57998)
• Grease nipple with elbow
(part no. 57975)
• Fuse, 40 amp
(part no. 57808)
PREPARATION AND CONNECTING UP
Wheels
Mount all the wheels are not yet mounted, and tighten the wheel nuts to the correct
torque (See technical specifications). Remember to tighten the nuts again after a
short time driving!
Check the air pressure based on the table in "Technical specifications"!
Drawbar
Mount the drawbar (pos. 1 or pos. 2 in figure 1) so that it is suitable for the tractor
concerned.
Fig. 1

BEFORE USE
11
Pos. 2 is for use with a high-positioned pulling point (“EU version”) over the PTO
outlet. Always check that the drawbar is equipped with a proper lock and that all
safety features are OK.
The drawbar on each baler must be adjusted as different makes of tractor require
different mounting heights for the drawbar. The main purpose of adjusting the
height is to achieve as straight a transition as possible between the pick-up and
chopper unit. This is when the centre height on the pick-up tubes is 40 – 45 cm
(See figure 2).
Important! Tighten the shaft bolts to 574 Nm torque. The torque must also be
checked during the harvesting season.
Approx. 40-45cm
As a general rule, the distance from the tubes to the ground should be as high as
possible, but not so high that the pick-up does not have the necessary contact with
the ground. Note that some reserve deflection downwards must be take into
account for the pickup when the ground is rough..
Normally, the balers are delivered with a rough adjustment for the drawbar position
according to the order specifications. Pos. 1 has a fixed support leg and pos. 2 is
intended for an adjustable support leg.

Loosen the four screws that fasten the drawbar. There are two on each side.
Adjust the drawbar upwards or downwards using the appropriate holes. A more
accurate adjustment of the height for the tow eye can be achieved by adjusting the
attachment of the loop to the drawbars. The tightening torque for the M24 bolts is
696 Nm.
The drawbar adjustments should be made when the baler is jacked up to the
tractor, but the drawbar must then be unloaded by jacking the baler. See figure 4
below for the correct position of the jack.

Power transmission
Mount the power transmission shaft and adjust to the correct length (see figure 5).
Ensure that the spacing (a) is sufficient to absorb the necessary sliding when driving
on hilly conditions, and that the length (b) is a minimum of 1/3 of the shaft length.

 A separate User Guide for the power transfer shaft is supplied with the
shaft on purchase. This User Guide provides additional information concerning
the mounting and use of the shaft that must be observed.


 Make sure that all safety features, covers and protection are OK! (Also see
safety instructions)
Lights and brakes
Connect the brake hose to a permitted brake outlet on the tractor. The light cable is
to be connected to the light socket on the tractor. Check the brakes and lights
function properly.
Fig. 5

BEFORE USE
14
Hydraulics
The hydraulics system on the baler must be connected to the tractor using both a
pressure hose and a return hose. The pressure hose must be connected to a circuit
with an oil volume of 60 l/min. The return hose is to be connected to a ¾” return
outlet with maximum back pressure of 3 bars! If this requirement is not followed,
resistance will increase and there will be a risk of overheating.
 Ensure that the connectors are cleaned prior to use!
 The machine is delivered by default with hose connectors of type xxxAGRI.
It is important that the same type of connection is used on the tractor. A ¾”
female connector is included with the machine and must be used.
Alternative connection options
A separate hose for pickup lifting can be connected to an outlet that can be operated
by a separate outlet on the tractor hydraulics.
Electric power supply
Main current cable
A separate main current cable with a master fuse (40A) is provided with the baler.
This cable must be connected directly to the battery to avoid overloading the
tractor’s electrical system. This ensures optimal safety and stable operation for the
advanced electronics.
 Make sure that the (-) and (+) are correctly connected, and that the cables
are not exposed to any possible damage.
Control box
The control box is connected to the bus cable coming out of the same sleeve as the
hydraulic hoses for the baler. For details on control box functions, see the chapter:
"Control box type Mk5”.

BEFORE USE
15
Fig. 6
• The control box should be mounted during use in a suitable location in the tractor
cabin. The control box is equipped with magnets on the reverse. This ensures that
the box can be fastened in a flexible manner. (For example, you can use the steel
plate provided.)
• When the baler has been disconnected, the control box must be stored indoors in
a dry place (indoors). As a rule, the contacts must be kept dry and clean. The
cables can be placed under the cover in the net container.
• In addition, the control box and electrical system are set up for operating an acid
pump.
NOTE
The control box automatically goes into “standby mode” after a few minutes
when not in use. To reactivate it, just press any of the buttons.

BEFORE USE
16
Net binding
Mounting the net roll
(see figure 7)
• Open the cover on the net container. Insert the net roll (A) on to the shaft by using
the supporting blocks (Nylon) on each side. Turn the net roll so that the net rolls
out from the front end and down under the spiral roller, over the feeder roller and
under plate “D”. Pull the net backwards towards the blade. Make sure the net roll
is placed in as central a position as possible in the net container. Place the roll
with the shaft in the vertical slot on each side and lock it to the support on the left
and right sides using the chocks (B). Beware of the danger of getting your
hands squeezed or caught.
• An additional net roll (C) can be mounted on to a separate shaft and locked to the
back of the net container, ready for later use.
• Pull the net as far out to the sides as possible and make sure that it fastens to the
conveying teeth on the net rake.
• Lift the cutting blades and pull the end of the net (D) carefully backwards so that
the end of the net is placed under the black clamp strip when the blades are
lowered.
• .
• Never run the net system (simulation) when the rolls in the container are not
rotating.

. 7

BEFORE USE
17
Mounting the film roll (See fig. 8)
1. Loosen the upper film chamber by removing the latch pin.
2. Push the pre-stretch unit fully over until it stays clear of the film roller by itself
(point 1).
3. Remove the empty tube by squeezing the upper plastic holder upwards until it
locks with the latch pin (point 2).
4. Insert the new roll at the bottom first. Keep the upper part of the roll centered, and
replace the film holder again (point 3).
MIND YOUR FINGERS!
5. Lock the film roll in place by re-inserting the latching pin.
6. Direct/run the film roll correctly (point 4).
7. Knot the plastic ends together in the middle and fasten the free ends down in the
wrapping table. Make a small cut in the plastic so that it is torn and follows into the
bale during wrapping. Eventually, you can tie the plastic ends to the net on the
first bale.
Fig. 8

BEFORE USE
18
STARTING THE BALER
When the baler is delivered, it has already been subjected to thorough testing. This
testing takes place without any material in the baler. It may thus be necessary to
make finer adjustments or alterations to the tractor. During first start-up, there are
some matters that require special attention.
• Check that the slide bearing tolerance is tight when the baler is new. Run the
baler in idle for at least 5 minutes and then let it cool down. (This is done as an
additional check)
• Under extreme conditions when there is overheating in some bearings, it may be
necessary to remove the hose for that bearing and use the special nipple
provided
.
• Please contact Orkel AS if this is necessary. Before checking and greasing the
bearings, the tractor engine must always be stopped!
• Check the chamber pressure. The baler is designed to endure large loads, but do
not overdo the bale hardness. Excessively high chamber pressure reduces
the baler’s lifespan. The chamber pressure can be adjusted via the control box.
See the separate section for instructions on how to do this.
• Check that reverse on the gearbox is working. Press the reverse button and start
PTO carefully. The chamber rollers should then be disconnected and the feeder
and pickup should run in reverse. The claw clutch on the shaft from the gearbox
will make an audible clicking sound.
•The chamber and control box must be calibrated before using the baler for the
first time. See separate section.
•If incorrect speed is detected on the pickup lift or the net motor, these must be
adjusted in the following manner:
- Loosen the set screw on the hand wheel
- Fully close the valve and open it up half a turn.
- Run the desired function manually and open the valve gradually until the
required speed is achieved.
- Fasten the set screw.
•When operating the pickup using the tractor hydraulics, volume must be adjusted
to the correct speed. The two pickup adjustments are totally independent of each
other and must be performed separately.
•The correct speed for the net motor is approximately 2-3 s for one feed cycle.
• The baler must be regularly checked. Listen for unpleasant sounds. Make
adjustments at once, as a minor adjustment can prevent a major
breakdown!
