4.2.2_WARNINGS FOR THE MACHINE
WARNING!
CAUTION!
The hydraulic couplings shall always be kept clean. To prevent them from becoming dirty or damaged,
after use always refit the protective plastic cover provided at the time of purchase.
Check and if necessary replace any damaged tubes or fittings; all flexible tubes should be replaced in any
case five years after the date stamped on the tube.
Before re-pressurising the system check that the tubes and connections are tight; use a piece of
cardboard or absorbent paper to check for possible leaks.
Each cardan shaft is provided with an operating and maintenance manual supplied by the manufacturer of
the cardan shaft.
The protection of the cardan shaft, tubes and covers must be mounted and in perfect condition.
Note:
Maintenance work on the cardan shaft must be done scrupulously following the instructions
given in the booklet supplied together with the cardan shaft by the manufacturer.
Before inserting the PTO make sure that:
the number of revs corresponds to the required number (refer to the decal located on the
drawbar of the machine).
the direction of rotation is the same as that indicated by the adhesive safety sign.
NEVER engage the PTO before starting the tractor engine.
Stop the PTO during the turns at the end of the swathes and any other tight turns.
When the machine is detached from the tractor position the cardan shaft on the special support.
Never start a bale if the tailgate is not completely closed; check this condition also on the display of the
control unit.
WARNING!: FIRE RISK
Remove the accumulated product regularly to reduce the risk of fire and to prevent
material from winding around the mechanical parts of the machine.
If the bale should catch fire:
1)
Immediately expel the bale and keep the tailgate open.
2)
Move the tractor and machine away from the product still to be collected and any other
inflammable material.
3)
Put the fire out using the extinguisher, advised as part of your equipment.
There must always be an extinguisher on the tractor, especially if you are working on a dry product.
Repairs to the wheels and tyres must be done by competent specialised personnel
having the appropriate tools.
IMPORTANT
!
Never drive on public or private roads with a bale in the chamber of the round
baler.
Always empty the chamber before leaving the field. Make sure that the tailgate is closed and
locked in position. Driving on the open road must be done in compliance with the traffic regulations
in force in the Country where the machine is used.
It is very important to remember that the capacity for road holding, maintaining direction and
braking may be influenced considerably by the load being towed.
Before towing the machine withdraw the parking jack into the position for transport.
For any further information regarding the masses of the machine and the overall dimensions for road
circulation, refer to the document "Technical Annex" approval.
MASCHIO FIENAGIONE declines all liability resulting from failure to observe these safety warnings.
