7.6 Hydraulics
7.6.1 Special Notes on Safety
• Before carrying out works on the big pack baler's hydraulics system, release the pressure in
the hydraulic cylinders for the bale channel flaps.
• Check hydraulic hoses and lines regularly and replace any damaged ones.
• The replacement parts employed must comply with the technical requirements of the
machine manufacturer. Only use genuine KRONE replacement parts.
• Repair work to the hydraulics system may only be carried out by qualified specialists.
• Ensure perfect cleanliness when working on the hydraulics system.
• Check the hydraulic oil level every time before putting into operation.
• Observe the intervals specified for changing the hydraulic oil and the hydraulic oil filters.
• Dispose of used oil properly.
7.6.2 On-Board Hydraulics
The big pack baler's on-board hydraulics system is
pressurised by its own hydraulic pump. It is flanged on
to the lower part of the main gearbox and requires no
maintenance.
The on-board hydraulic oil and hydraulic oil filter must
be changed annually before the start of the season.
Have a suitable collection container ready when
making the oil change. Take out the drain screw (4) in
the reservoir tank (3). Take out the hydraulic oil filter
attachment screws (1). Replace the filter and fasten
with the screws again. Once all the oil has emptied,
screw the drain screw back in. Unscrew screw plug (5)
and fill in the required amount of hydraulic oil. Check oil
level with using dipstick (2). The hydraulic oil
specifications are listed in the section
"Technical
Data".
The hydraulic cylinders for the bale
channel flaps must be retracted when
changing the hydraulic oil.
