10.1 General Information
Clean the round baler thoroughly inside and outside before putting it in winter storage. If a high-pressure cleaner is
used, do not aim the water jet directly at the bearing points. Grease all lubricating points after cleaning. Do
not wipe
away any grease which oozes out of the bearings. This grease ring provides additional protection against moisture.
Remove the drive chains and wash them in petroleum (do not use any other solvent). At the same time, check for
wear to the chains and chain wheels. Lubricate the chains after cleaning, attach and tighten.
Check that all moving parts (such as deflection rollers, joints, tension rollers, etc.) move easily. If necessary,
remove, clean and remount after regreasing. Replace if necessary. Use
original KRONE spare parts only.
Take apart the PTO shaft. Grease the inner tubes and protecting tubes. Apply grease to the lubrication nipple on
the universal joint and to the bearing rings on the protecting tubes.
Park the round baler in a dry place away from artificial fertilisers or animal stalls.
Touch up damaged paintwork, thoroughly coat unpainted parts with anti-corrosion agent.
Use only a suitable vehicle jack to jack up the round baler. Make sure that the machine is in a
secure position when jacked up.
Jack up the round baler to prevent damage to the tyres (tyre damage may occur when the round baler is left
standing in the same position for extended periods). Protect the tyres against outside influences such as oil,
grease, direct sunshine, etc.
Complete the required repair work immediately following the harvest season. Prepare a list of all required spare
parts. This makes it easier for your KRONE dealer to process orders and you can be certain that your machine
will be available for use in top condition at the start of the next season.
• Maintenance, cleaning and repair work should be done only when the machine is at a
complete standstill. Switch off the motor, remove the ignition key and disconnect the
12 V supply voltage.
• Secure the tractor and round baler against rolling.
• If the tailgate is open, secure it at the shut-off tap to prevent it from falling.
• After completing maintenance work reattach all protective plates and protective devices
properly.
• Avoid skin contact with oil, grease, cleaning agents and solvents.
• In case of injuries or burns caused by oils, cleaning agents or solvents, seek immediate
medical attention.
• Follow all further safety instructions, to avoid accidents and injuries.
