Do not smoke or make use of any open fire next to the machine.
A functioning fire extinguisher should always be available on the tractor.
The machine is to be kept clear of oil, grease, crops, string, plastic or any
other flammable material at all times.
Do not continue to work with overheated parts, cables or pipes, unless you
have identified and eliminated the reason for overheating.
Equipment being refuelled should have its engine turned off before refuelling.
Personnel should be instructed on how to properly refuel equipment: do
periodic maintenance checks on the tank, pump, hose and nozzle; and abide
by safety rules, such as not smoking when around the refuelling area.
4.5 Special safety devices/instructions
When maintenance or repair work has to be carried out on the machine, the hand
brake (parking brake) must be applied, engine shut down with ignition key removed.
The PTO shaft must be removed from the PTO stub, with the hydraulic and electric
power supply disconnected. It is forbidden to open any safety guards or carry out
any work on the machine unless the specified precautions have been carried out.
According to safety regulations, the covers of this machine are designed to be
opened only by the aid of a special tool and to be closed without a tool. To unlock
the covers, the locks should be turned slightly anti-clockwise with a 13 mm spanner
or flat blade screwdriver. To lock the covers push the cover towards the chassis
until the fasteners lock into place. It is forbidden to operate the machine without the
covers or with them open. The owner of the machine is obliged, by law, to ensure
that all covers are installed on the machine and are in good functioning condition.
When maintenance or repair work has to be carried out at the open bale chamber,
the chamber door lever valve must be in the locked position. Before the chamber
door can be closed it has to be unlocked again.
Before replacing the knives of the chopping system, make sure that all knives
are in the ‘UP’ position. Always use protective gloves when working at the
chopping system.
Caution should always be taken when feeding in the net roll or making any
adjustments to the netter configuration as the netter knife is extremely sharp!
Avoid contact with the plastic film cutting knives.
