OPERATING MANUAL - Z587 BALER
Baler identification. General safety rules
Keep hydraulic couplings clean at all times. Always
secure undone couplings with the plastic caps supplied
with the machine. Check all damaged tube covers
or fasteners and replace if necessary. Replace all
moving tube covers every 5 years. All hydraulic lines
must be replaced every 6 years. Record the date of
last replacement. Verify that the hydraulic lines and
couplings are tightly closed before pressurizing. Use
blotting paper or paper to check the system for leaks.
WARNING!
Do not operate the baler without the safety guards
installed on moving components.
WARNING!
Each time before you start the baler check that the
machine and its safety guard fasteners are in good
order and complete.
WARNING!
Before starting the baler and driving on public roads,
inspect the coupling of the machine to the tractor, the
tightness of wheel fasteners and proper connection of
the tow bar to the tractor.
WARNING!
All adjustment, repair and maintenance works shall be
carried out with the tractor engine stopped and after
making sure that the machine is secured against an
accidental restarting.
WARNING!
Before starting and during swath collection make sure
that there are no bystanders nearby, especially children.
WARNING!
Work on terrain slopes with extreme caution. The bales
may roll down.
WARNING!
Do not service the baler with the tooling raised and not
secured.
WARNING!
Do not enter or stand between the tractor and the baler
when the tractor engine is running.
WARNING!
Exercise extreme caution when coupling/decoupling
the baler with/from the tractor. Couple the baler with a
tractor equipped with a lower hitch which can withstand
the vertical load higher than the vertical load on the
baler tow bar, see Section 1.4.
WARNING!
Wear appropriate protective clothing and shoes with
anti-slip soles at work.
