– Lifting points
The hooking points for lifting are indicated with
specific stickers. Lift the machine with extreme
caution and slowly transfer it, without sudden
movements, on the lorry or on the railways
wagon. In case the machine is loaded without
wheels, support and fix the axis of the round baler
on the supports set on the truck bed. Supports
must bear the weight of the machine and be firmly
fixed to the track bed and to the round baler axis.
During transport, loads can’t be lifted more than
20 cm from the ground. Make sure the area of
operations is clear and that there is sufficient
“escape space”, that is a free and safety area in
which to quickly move in case of fall of the load.
3.3 LOAD BY LOADING RAMPS
Connect the machine to a tractor, tow it on ramps
and transfer it on the lorry or on the wagon
steering very carefully in order to avoid sudden
movements. Make sure the ramps can bear the
machine weight, in order to avoid dangerous
flexures, and that they are set properly depending
on the wheels axis of the round baler. Make sure
they are clean from oil, grease or ice in order to
avoid eventual slipping. Proceed slowly on the
ramps, keep the machine at the center of the
flatbed. During rise and descent, avoid to correct
the direction. Eventually try again.

3.4 CIRCULATION ON THE ROAD
The round baler is considered an agricultural
towed machine.
WARNING
For the circulation on the road the machine
must be homologated according to the rules in
force in the country where circulating.
The circulation on the road must be compulsory
with unloaded machine, that is without bales or
other material inside.
The machine must be firmly hooked to the tractor
drawbar homologated by the country in which it
operates.
The tractor has to have a trailer mass equal or
bigger than the one of the round baler.
The tractor hooking system has to be able to
connect to the drawbar of the machine and to
bear the vertical load on the drawbar.
Dimensions and load of the drawbar are indicated
at paragraph 1.7.
It’s very important to bear in mind that the road
grip and the direction and braking capacity, can
be affected, even remarkably, by the presence of
carried or towed equipment.
On the curves, pay attention to the centrifugal
force exerted on a different position, to the center
of gravity, with or without towed equipment.
The standing foot must be lift from the ground in a
position completely lift up, hooked by the proper
pivot and assured with the safety pin.
The machine lights system has to be connected to
the tractor by the 7 poles outlet.
The pick-up must be completely raised and the
hydraulic tap must close to the quick coupling.
The round baler does not have absolutely be used
as a mean of transport.
