5.9 Operation in the field
Extensive protection against possible accidents is
provided by the round baler. However, sufficient care
and caution should be taken when working with the
machine. Checks should be made each time the
machine is used to see that all protective devices are
mounted and intact.
Danger!
Never repair functional errors during
operation. Particular care should be taken
when opening and closing the tailgate. No
persons may remain in the tailgate
swinging range. Shut the hydraulic shut-
off tap before entering the bale chamber.
