Hydraulics
Take care at welding work
Do not carry out welding work near to hydraulic hoses. Hydraulic oil
can ignite very easily.
Hydraulic device pressureless
Before replacing the hydraulic hoses, the hydraulic device must be
pressureless. When working at a hydraulic device which is under
pressure, by unintentional movements at the machine or by squirting
hydraulic oil, accidents can occur.
Hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses age without recognizable external indications, too.
Therefore, we recommend to replace the hydraulic hoses every six
years.
> Make the hydraulic device pressureless
> Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key
> Discouple the hydraulic hoses
> Replace the hydraulic hoses
Filter hydraulic block
Stay clear of the table area
Stay clear of the table area while it is rotating. Serious injuries can
occur.
The filter is situated near the hydraulic block of machines with control
box only.
The filter contains an indicator on top of it. The indicator shows,
whether the filter has to be exchanged or not.
Only check the indicator when the hydraulic oil is at working
temperature.
When the machine is hitched onto a tractor with a closed centre
hydraulic system, the tractor engine must be at the rpm as during
wrapping before checking the filter indicator.
> Check the indicator every 3000 bales or once a season
> Replace the filter every 8000 bales and once a season
