WELGER RP 202 • RP 220 • RP 302 • RP 320

4. Putting Into Operation

When handling parts of the machine in the area of the drawbar,
make sure that the machine is safeguarded from rolling away.
Do not crank up the support foot until the baler is securely
coupled to the tractor.
Do not disconnect the baler until:
• The surface is level and supports the road wheels and the
support foot
• The baler chamber is empty and the tailgate is closed
• The machine's road wheels are blocked by chocks
• The hydraulic hoses are depressurised
• There is no load applied to the drawbar eye
Do not step between the tractor and baler until the vehicles are
safeguarded from rolling away by means of the parking brake
and/or the wheel chocks!
Children must be kept away from the baler at all times!

4.1. Attaching the baler

Correct baler attachment and drive shaft set up to the tractor is
important to ensure trouble-free operation of the baler.
After attaching the baler, screw in the support foot with the hand
crank until there is sufficient clearance from the ground.
Caution, danger of fire!
Do not start driving with the machine attached unless the
parking brake has been fully released. Otherwise there is
danger of fire by brakes running hot (e.g. in the field).
• After attaching the machine to the tractor release the parking
brake (turn crank counterclockwise).
Caution, danger of accident!
Any machines standing free, detached from the tractor, must be
secured against accidental rolling away by applying the parking
brake and by means of chocks.
• Apply the parking brake before detaching the machine from
the tractor (turn crank clockwise).
