OPERATING MANUAL - Z587 BALER
Operating the machine
3. Disconnect the power hydraulic system.
4. Lower the support foot. Detach the tow bar hitch-ring. Make
sure that the machine will not roll away.
5. Decouple and remove the PTO drive shaft. Place the removed
PTO drive shaft on its storage support. Secure the PTO drive
shaft ends and the tractor PIC ends with protective caps.
6. Cap the hydraulic and electric connectors.
3.3. FUNCTIONAL TEST
Once the baler has been coupled with the tractor:
1. Start the tractor without the PTO and check that all baler
functions work properly.
2. Check that the hydraulic system is working. Check that the rear
gate opens and closes. Lift and lower the pickup (remember
to switch the cut-off valve to "OPEN" so that the pickup can be
lifted).
3. Check that the control panel electrical connections are OK.
4. Check the electrical system, the indicators and the lamps.
5. Close the baler gate and start the PTO.
6. Make sure that there are no persons or animals nearby before
starting the PTO drive shaft. Be extremely careful when
checking that all mechanical and drive components work.
7. Open the baler rear chamber and make sure that the chain
conveyor is stopped.
8. Close the baler rear chamber and make sure that the chain
conveyor restarts.
3.4. PREPARING FOR WORK
Make the necessary adjustments to prepare the machine for the
intended work.
The baler can work with two bale wrapper types:
•
Single or double cord wrapper;
•
Cord wrapper.
The cord and net wrappers can be installed at the same time.
3.4.1. LOADING AND OPERATING THE CORD WRAPPER
Use a 500-700 m/kg synthetic cord or a 200-400 m/kg natural fibre
cord to assure trouble-free wrapping cycles.
The cord wrapper can also use other cord types.
Install and thread in the cord with the tractor engine and
control panel off.
WARNING!
Always mind the wrapping system cutter.
WARNING!
Before attempting any work near the wrapping systems,
set the safety to "stop" to prevent accidents (see Fig. 12).
