2.2

Noise level

The EC directive 86/188/EEC (or EC directive 2003/10/EC)
concerning noise at the workplace instructs employers and
employees to assess noise at the place of work and to control it.
The noise level during normal field work is subject to variations
which depend on the one hand on the noise level of the tractor
and on the other hand on the deployment conditions of the
baler.
The noise level generated by the WELGER balers, measured at
the head height of the driver with the tractor cabin window
open, is, under normal operating conditions, less than 70 dB
(A). The combined noise level of baler and tractor primarily
depends on the level of the noise from the tractor (radios are an
additional source of noise). We recommend that the tractor is
operated with closed windows.

Instructions for fire protection

The harvested crop can easily ignite! To prevent fire:
• remove crop remains and oil leaks.
• If any machine parts run hot: find and remove cause.
• Do not begin a journey with the machine attached unless the
manually operated brake has been completely released.
Otherwise there is danger of fire by brakes running hot (e. g.
in the field).
• Keep the electrical systems of tractor and baler and the
exhaust system of the tractor in proper condition.
• The existing wiring must not be used for any other
consumers than those installed in the factory or approved by
the manufacturer. Overloading the electrical lines leads to
excessive heating.
• Do not smoke in the vicinity of the machine.
• Keep fire extinguisher within reach.
