  • Page 9: Operation

    2.2 General safety instructions Before any maintenance, cleaning, disassembly of parts and adjustment is made on the machine. Always: Disengage the PTO drive clutch. Stop the tractor engine, activate the hand brake and remove the key to prevent the tractor from being started accidentally.
  • Page 10 2.3 Mechanical connection/disconnection 1. Keep people away from area between tractor and baler during connection and dis connection. Be aware of squeezing hazard! 2. Disconnection has to take place on plain ground, and the baler has to be parked in a stable position to prevent overturn.
  • Page 11 2.4 Adjustments When adjusting machine always disengage the PTO drive, stop tractor motor and re move the key. Wait until all moving parts have stopped. Working on knife system. Read instructions closely! Always use the safety pipes on the tailgate lifting cylinders while working inside the chamber.
  • Page 12 2.7 Use: Keep children and others away from the machine when operating. The area around the baler should be kept clear at all times. Make sure that no one is behind the baler when unloading a new bale. NOTE: Avoid uncontrolled unloading of bale in slopes/hillsides. Material will feed into baler very fast.

Stop the tractor`s engine before cleaning, adjusting or servicing the machine. Remove the ignition key to prevent the tractor from being started by accident. Keep area between tractor and wrapper clear of people under coupling.

  • Page 16: Hydraulic Connections

    Then connect the signal cable to the control box, and to the round baler. All electric connections must be carried out as described in this chapter. Any deroga- tions to this, must be done in accordance with Orkel AS. Unless, it might affect on your bailer’s warranty.
  • Page 17 3.4 PTO axle. Install the axle, and adapt to correct length (see figure below). Make sure that distance is sufficient to handle necessary free motion when operating the machine in hills/slope conditions. At the same time, distance must be as long as possible.
  • Page 18 4. Settings 4.1 Height, Tow bar adjustment. To obtain optimized utilization of the baler`s qualities, it is vital that the pick up and tow bar adjustment is carried out in a correct way. Preparations. Tractor and baler has to be aligned and placed on flat ground. Do not hook up the baler yet.
  • Page 19 4.1 Height, Tow bar adjustment. 6. Untighten the four bolts holding the tow bar to allow some movement of the bar 7. Adjust the tow bar’s height by turning the nuts on the turnbuckle located under the draw bar. See picture B, previous side. 8.
  • Page 20 4.2 Settings in Control Box These settings are set correctly by Orkel AS, when leaving the factory If changes are necessary, this will be carried out by a mechanic, approved by Orkel AS during start up service. If further adjustments are needed, please contact your dealer, Orkel AS Technical Dept.

(breaking-in) After long-time storage, these controls must be carried out to avoid mechanical breakdown. 1. RPM. Check that the rotational speed is registered in the display of the Control Box.
  • Page 27 6.3 Driving technique Engage the PTO while tractor engine is idling. Also engage the hydraulic system if Load Sense is not in use. Gradually increase RPM to 580-620 (540 pto) or 820-850 (1000 pto). When correct rotation speed is obtained, an arrow symbol will appear in the control box dis- play.
  • Page 28 6.3 Driving technique, finishing the bale. A stop signal (visible and audio) will appear in the control -box. This indicate a full bale. Stop the tractors movement, and wait some seconds before starting the net/film tying. This gives some extra compression to the bale, before net or film is applied.
  • Page 29 6.3.1 Driving technique. Hillsides / Slopes As a main rule, the tractor will set the decline limit on this baler. See operator manual of your tractor. Beware operating in wet conditions. The baler may slide and destabilise the tractor. Pay attention when driving under these conditions. Maximum recommended decline limit: 20°...
  • Page 30 6.4 Obstruction in pickup or feeder unit: Due to uneven swaths and other, you can experience that excessive amounts of grass may block the pickup and the feeder rotor. This usually occurs when the bale is nearly done. Procedure: 1.Disengage the knives. Rise and lower the pickup a couple of times to see if the block- ing loosens.
  • Page 31 Be sure to change oil and filters on a regular base. (See tractor’s service handbook). Damages or malfunctions caused by dirty oil, will not be covered by Orkel warranty. NOTE: All controls and adjustments has to be carried out while oil is hot.
  • Page 32 7.3.1 Chamber pressure: sensor adjustment (B4) Warning! Small adjustments on the sensor could make a large effect on ”chamber pressure”. Do adjust in small steps Max: 0,2mm at each time. Excessive chamber-pressure may cause serious damage to the baler. By adjusting the sensor closer to the steel flange, you will ”delay” the stop signal, and induce a higher chamber pressure.
  • Page 33 7.4 Grass cutting system. To ensure good cutting: Always be sure to have sharp cutting knives. Replace if dam- aged. To avoid loss of pressure (internal leakage tractor) in the hydraulic system, the valve on the hose (for knives), should be kept closed during operation. WARNING, risk of injury! While working on the cutting system, extra care must be taken.
  • Page 34 7.4.1 Disassembling. Changing/sharpening the knives: 1. Actuate the hydraulic cylinder and lower the knives. Close the valve. 2. Open the baling chamber, and secure the tailgate in open position. 3. Stop the tractor`s engine, engage the parking brake and disconnect the PTO axle. 4.
