Page 29: Start-Up And Transport
Start-up and Transport Start-up and Transport 3.1 Safety Instructions • Special caution is required when mounting and detaching the Big Pack Baler on and from the tractor. No one may stay between the tractor and Big Pack Baler. After successful coupling turn off the engine and pull out the ignition key.

Page 34: Hydraulic, Compressed Air And Electrical Connections
Start-up and Transport 3.5 Hydraulic, Compressed Air and Electrical Connections Depending on the version, a different number of hydraulic control valves is required on the tractor for the Big Pack Baler. The protective caps of the hydraulic hoses (1) placed in the stowage (2) are colour-coded. This ensures problem-free identification of the necessary control valves (see also Chapter 1 “Connection Requirements, Tractor”).
Page 35: Load-Sensing Connection (Optional)
Start-up and Transport 3.5.3Load-Sensing Connection (optional) A Big Pack Baler with Comfort electronics or Comfort hydraulics is capable of load sensing. The advantage of using a tractor equipped for this is the lower output that is required because of less oil heating. The oil supply comes through the Power-Beyond of the tractor hydraulics for use of the load-sensing system.
Page 36: Compressed Air Brake
Start-up and Transport 3.5.4 Compressed Air Brake Snap the coloured coupling heads of the compressed air hoses (1) into the correspondingly coloured couplings on the tractor. First let the yellow coupling head snap in and then the red coupling head. Uncoupling is in reverse order.
Page 37: Electrical Connection Cables
Start-up and Transport 3.5.6 Electrical Connection Cables The Big Pack Baler requires a voltage source for the power supply of the on-board computer and lighting. A socket for installation on the tractor is part of the scope of supply. • The socket included with delivery can be connected directly to the 12-V battery of the tractor •...

Start-up and Transport 3.6 Placing in Operation again after an Extended Standstill Time 3.6.1Safety Instructions • The following is a basic rule for all maintenance, mounting, repair and adjustment tasks: Bring the machine to a stop. Switch off the engine. Remove the ignition key. Tighten the flywheel brake.
Page 39: Storage For Winter
Perform the necessary repair tasks immediately after the harvest season. Draw up a list of all replacement parts you will need. This will make it easier for your KRONE dealer to process your orders and you will be certain that your machine will be ready for use at the beginning of the next season.
Page 40: Transport
Start-up and Transport 3.7 Transport 3.7.1 Preparations for Road Travel • Travelling on public roads is only allowed with empty baling channel, bale chute folded in and the pick-up is raised. • To prevent functions from being triggered accidentally, it is essential to turn off the control unit when the machine is being transported.
Page 41: Moving
Start-up and Transport Hydraulically activated roller chute (optional): • Fold up the hydraulically activated roller chute hydraulically. After it is folded together, make certain that the mechanical lock has snapped into place. BPXC0122 Check the lighting system: • Check the rear lights (2) and reflectors (1) for proper functionality and clean them.
Page 42: Coaster/Steering Axle (Optional)
Start-up and Transport 3.7.3 Coaster/Steering Axle (Optional) Make certain the shut-off valve (1) is in position (I) (opened) when the machine is in use. Before moving backward first move the rear axle wheels to a straight position if they are turned. Then charge the locking cylinder with air.
Page 43: Parking The Big Pack Baler
Start-up and Transport 3.8 Parking the Big Pack Baler • Park the Big Pack Baler only on level and firm ground. If the Big Pack Baler is parked on soft ground, enlarge the base area of the parking support. • Secure the Big Pack Baler against rolling away with wheel chocks and by applying the parking brake.

Malfunctions – Causes and Remedies 10.3 Malfunctions on the Knotter 10.3.1 Single Knotter The most frequent knotter malfunctions are caused by minor problems that you can eliminate yourself in most cases. The errors may often be found in twine quality, twine guiding, twine tension, position of the tying needles or twine bar.

If the scraper path of the blade lever is not long enough (the blade lever can be deformed by a dull twine blade) — remove the blade lever and align it, or replace it if necessary.
Page 218: Double Knotter
Malfunctions – Causes and Remedies 10.3.2 Double Knotter Experience has shown that a majority of tying problems are the result of insufficient twine tension. Check the twine path and twine tension before starting work. The following list shows the most frequent malfunctions, their cause and a note on how to eliminate them. Otherwise reference is made to the chapter in which the topic in question is explained in greater detail.
