Lely Welger AP baler. Study and understand this information thoroughly before you operate the Lely Welger AP baler. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or damage to equipment. Please consult your local Lely service provider if you do not understand the information in this manual, or if you need additional information.
Two friction clutches; one in front and one behind the flywheel protect the universal joint and the tractor as well as the baler drive. On the AP 530 and the AP 630, an additional shear bolt protects the drive should an unforeseen blockage occur. On the AP 730 / 830, this function is fully automated with an auto-reset clutch.
