
Never leave the vehicle unattended when the engine is running. Before leaving the driver's
seat (the cabin) turn off the engine of the vehicle, remove the ignition key, and apply the
parking brake.

Avoid wearing unbuttoned, hanging parts of work clothes during the operation, assembly,
disassembly or adjustment. Keep them away from any machine parts which are likely to
catch them.

After work, it is recommended to clean and wash the machine in the wash fitted with a
sewage treatment plant or a settling tank to neutralise the resulting waste water.

The machine should be kept and stored in places protected from unauthorised access of
persons and animals, thus eliminating the risk of accidental injuries, and on a flat, hardened
surface, under a protective canopy.

In case of failure, immediately turn off the hydraulic system of the vehicle.

When working with the machine, use hearing protection headphones to minimise exposure
to noise. In addition, it is recommended to close the doors and windows of the vehicle’s cab.
Failure to observe the above guidelines may be hazardous to the operator and other persons, as well as
damage the bale wrapper.
The operator is responsible for any damage caused by failure to adhere to
the above rules.
3.2. Residual risk assessment
Talex has made every effort to ensure that the design of the machine, and its intended use, do not
pose any risk to persons or the environment.
Due to the nature of work being done by the bale wrapper and, for example, the inability to completely
cover the machine’s working unit, certain risk factors may occur.
