OPERATION

General Information

FIG. 22: When parking, park the machine and the tractor
on a solid level surface. Put all controls in neutral, put the
tractor transmission in PARK, and apply the tractor
parking brake. Stop the tractor engine and take the key
with you.
Make sure the tractor and implement are in the proper
operating condition according to the operators manuals.
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. Use a tractor of recommended size and
weight to tow the machine. See Specifications for the
minimum tractor size and weight.
Tractor must be equipped with rollover protective structure
(ROPS), and a seat belt. Use seat belt during operation.
Do not dismount from moving machinery.
Always operate the machine with the control console
turned on.
Never start the tractor with PTO engaged or control
console turned on.
Where possible avoid operating the baler near ditches,
embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning,
crossing slopes, and on rough, slippery, or muddy
surfaces.
Stay off slopes too steep for operation.
Be aware of the size of the equipment and have enough
space available to allow for operation.
Always slide the hitch pin lock plate over the hitch pin and
install the Klik pin when connecting the baler to the tractor.
To achieve proper braking capacity, the weight of the baler
with a bale must not exceed 1.5 times the weight of the
tractor.
Do not stand between the tractor and the implement to
install the hitch pin when the tractor engine is running.
FIG. 23: Avoid contact with electrical power lines.
Contact with electrical power lines can cause electrical
shock, resulting in very serious injury or death.
