Start Up

Attention, danger of injury!
During handling in the area of the drawbar ensure that the
machine is secured against moving. Do not raise the support
foot before the baler has been safely coupled to the tractor.
Do not uncouple the baler, unless:
• the bottom for wheels and support foot is even and bearing.
• the baling chamber is empty and the tail gate closed.
• the wheels of the machine are blocked by means of wheel
chocks.
• the hydraulic tubes have been depressurised.
• the hitch is released.
Nobody must be between tractor and baler as long as the
vehicles are not secured against moving by manually operated
brake and/or wheel chocks!
Always keep children away from the machine!

Coupling the baler

Note!
Dependent on the equipment variant, a rotary or a rigid hitch
can be installed (observe national regulations!).
For trouble-free operation of the baler correct coupling of the
machine and adjustment of the drive shaft is of decisive
importance.
After coupling of the baler:
fully retract the support foot using the crank handle.
release the bolt.
push support foot fully in and lock it with the bolt.
