Instructions for work
- Stop the PTO, switch off the control unit and switch off
the tractor engine.
- Test the operation of the lighting and signalling
system (sidelights, brake lights and indicators).
4. Precautions and prevention of fire
risk
Your machine works with moving parts (bale
separator(s), turbine) and highly inflammable products.
There is therefore a real risk of fire resulting from:
- Overheating of the power takeoff friction limiter.
Please do not use this limiter excessively. If smoke
issues from the transmission, stop the machine
immediately and leave the limiter to cool outside the
buildings.
- Winding strink or products at the ends of the bale
separator(s). Each time, before using the machine,
check the ends of the bale separator(s) to remove
products which have become wound round or have
accumulated in this area.
- Worn bearing. Grease bearings regularly and check
their condition.
• Sparks caused by pebbles or metal objects in the
straw.
It is highly recommended to have an extinguisher which
has been checked and maintained, on your tractor.
Recommended types: sprayed water + additive, ABC
powder.
It is strictly prohibited to use your machine stationary
inside a building.
If one of the hydraulic functions is not working, or
is running in the wrong direction, check the hose
connections and start the test procedure again
from the beginning.
