8. Field Use

The roll baler is safeguarded against foreseeable
accidents. In spite of this, necessary precautions must still be
taken when working. Each time before use, check that all safety
devices on the roll baler are in proper working order. Never
attempt to correct malfunctions while the machine is in
operation. Take special care when opening and closing the
tailgate. Stay clear of swing area of the tailgate at all times.
Before entering the bale chamber, lock the tailgate (fig. 3).

8.1. Driving on the road

Lift the pick-up unit to its highest position. Close the shut-off
valve on the hydraulic hoses for the pick-up unit. The pick-up
unit is now hydraulically secured in the transport position.
For pick-up units with 2.25 m* width: Also move the pick-up unit
support wheels into the park position (fig. 59).
In order to avoid any danger to other road users, both
rectangular tubes of the bale ejector must be pushed in and
secured (fig. 60).

8.2. Bale ejector*

In order to prevent bales that have already been tied from
remaining within the swing area of the tailgate, a bale ejector is
mounted underneath the baling chamber. Prior to field use, both
rectangular tubes should be pulled out from the parking position
and secured with bolts and split pins.
When working on a sloped surface the bale ejectors
should remain in the park position.

8.3. Windrowing

The full capacity of the baler and good bale formation can be
only achieved by careful windrow preparation. Therefore the
windrows should be laid down uniformly.
The windrow width should be as follows:
