General Information
Fire Prevention
FIG. 11: Due to the nature of the crops this machine will
operate in, the risk of fire is of concern. Regular
inspection of the machine can reduce the risk of fire. Keep
the machine free of crop debris.
Check the machine daily for any noises that are not
normal. Such noises could indicate a failed bearing that
can cause heat buildup.
When finished baling and before leaving baler, remove
the bale from the bale chamber. Raise the tailgate and put
the tailgate lockout valve in the lock position. Check for
accumulation of hay or hot spots in the bale chamber and
pickup area. Remove hay accumulation. Put the tailgate
lockout valve in the unlock position and lower the tailgate.
If a fire occurs while baling, eject the bale, move tractor
and baler upwind away from bale 12 m (40 ft). Raise the
tailgate. Engage the tailgate lockout valve in the LOCKED
position. Use a fire extinguisher or other water source to
put out the fire.
Maintenance
FIG. 12: Before doing any unplugging, lubricating,
servicing, cleaning, or adjusting:
•
Park the machine on a solid level surface.
•
Close the tailgate.
•
Disengage the tractor PTO.
•
Put the tractor transmission in PARK and apply the
tractor parking brake.
•
Stop the tractor engine and take the key with you.
•
Put the tailgate lockout valve into the LOCKED
position if the tailgate is raised.
•
Look and Listen! Make sure all moving parts have
stopped.
•
Put blocks in front of and behind the wheels of the
tractor and the baler before working on or under the
baler.
FIG. 13: Never service, check or adjust drive chains or
belts while the tractor engine is running.
Never remove crop, twine, or mesh from the machine
while the tractor engine is running. Moving parts can pull
you in faster than you can move away.
