15 Storage of Bales Storage Binding material Rwine strength m/kg open air Synthetic twine indoors Sisal twine 50-0 Wrapping Material Data Wrapping material Dimensions in mm Width 50 ± 5 Sleeve length Inner sleeve diameter 75 bis 80 Roll diameter max. 0 According to 4 of the German Regulations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic, the empty weight of the towing vehicle (tractor) must be at least as much as the empty weight of the round baler. Road journeys are only permitted with an empty bale chamber. When operating the baler in fields, the total weight must not exceed 980 kg and the supported load (on the tractor hitch) 450 kg.

16 . Working Methods and Operating Principles of the machine The round baler compresses crops such as hay, straw, grass silage etc. into round bales. On completion of the baling procedure the bale is wrapped with twine, net or synthetic foil, depending on the type of wrapping material selected. Due to their form, the round bales have good storage properties, can be transported simply and can be processed further with ease. The working method can be described as follows: The crop is collected into a swath and taken in by the pick up, transported to the centre by the augers (only for wide pick ups) and enters the bale chamber via the transport roller. In the bale chamber the crop is turned by the rotating roller panel and rolled up. A roller-shaped round bale forms as the crop continues to enter. The bale becomes increasingly compressed as more crop is fed into the round baler. Volume and baling pressure gauges are located on the left and right in the front side of the baler for the corresponding side of the bale. A soon as the set baling pressure on the baling pressure preselection gauge is reached, the wrapping process is started. Depending on the type of equipment, the wrapping process can be started hydraulically or mechanically by hand using an actuating cord. On completion of the wrapping process, the final round bale is transported through the open tail gate out of the round baler and set down. The idle time during use can be reduced when closing the tail gate, due to the special design of the bale ejector as a straw trap. This increases the efficiency of the round baler. 4

17 . Preparing the Round Baler. Special Notes on Safety Always switch off the PTO shaft when undertaking maintenance, care and repair work. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Only use PTO shafts specified by the manufacturer which have an appropriate overload coupling. Only attach and detach the PTO shaft when the drive shaft is switched off, the engine is switched off and the ignition key has been removed! Lay hydraulic hoses, electric cables and synthetic cords such that they are not under tension and do not come into contact with the tractor wheels when driving round corners. Take particular care on and around the tractor and the round baler when attaching and detaching the round baler! The maximum drive speed for the round baler is 540 rpm. Switch off the PTO shaft as soon as the round baler jams.. Adapting the Swinging Drawbar to the Tractor The swinging drawbar on the round baler is designed for the various methods of attaching (above in three-point linkage; below e.g. swinging drawbar). It must be mounted and adjusted in accordance with the different attachment options for the tractor. Before starting work park the round baler on firm ground. Secure from rolling away. Particular care is required when attaching the round baler to the tractor. Make sure that there is nobody in the danger area round the tractor and round baler. After attaching successfully, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away. When mounting anything on the swinging drawbar always observe the following: The teeth in the slots must be in the same position on both sides of the swinging drawbar. First tighten the screw in the round holes. Make sure that the teeth in the slots mesh. Only then should the screws in the slots be tightened. 5

18 Mounting the Swinging Drawbar for Top Attachment Mount the swinging drawbar () in the upper attachment holes in the brackets () on the front cross carrier. The height adjustment of the swinging drawbar is made as described below in this chapter. KR-0-00 Mounting the Swinging Drawbar for Bottom Attachment Rotate the swinging drawbar () through 80 degrees about the lateral axis and mount it in the lower holes in the brackets (). KR-0-00 Height Adjustment of the Swinging Drawbar For optimum crop collection by the pick up, the round baler must be attached horizontally to the tractor, if necessary tilted forwards slightly. A corresponding fine adjustment of the swinging drawbar () can be made at the slots (). This adjustment can be made while the baler is coupled to the tractor. 4 KR Attach the round baler. Leave the machine on the jack stands (4). Loosen the fastening screws () - do not take them out. Bring the machine into the specified position by turning on the jack stands. Tighten up the screws in the order described above. 6

19 . Adapting the PTO Shaft Before working on the PTO shaft, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor together with the round baler from rolling away. When adapting the PTO shaft there must be nobody between the tractor and the round baler. Attach the round baler to the tractor to adapt the length of the PTO shaft. The PTO shaft is at its shortest when going round tight corners. To measure, take the PTO shaft apart and and slide the two halves () and () on to the machine and the tractor. The exact procedure for adapting the length can be found in the PTO shaft manufacturer's operating instructions. KR Cleaning and Checking the Double Twine Guide Starter Rollers Before working on the starter rollers, switch off the PTO shaft, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away. The starter rollers are wrapped in adhesive tape to protect them from corrosion. Remove the adhesive tape and clean the rollers of any residual adhesive. The pressure rollers () must be able to be rotated easily. Turn the drive roller () to check. If the pressure rollers do not rotate or only rotate with difficulty, refer to the notes in the chapter "Care and Maintenance". KR

20 .5 Adjusting the Height of the Wheel Hubs Park the round baler on firm ground and secure from rolling away with wheel chocks. To jack up the round baler, use a suitable jack and jack stands. Risk of crushing from falling components. a b c KR-0-0 For adaption to different tyre sizes and working conditions, the height of the wheel hubs can be adjusted on both sides of the round baler. To adapt: Take off the tyres (make sure to observe the "Tyres" section in the chapter "Care and Maintenance"). Loosen the fastening screws () in the flange plate (), take it out and re-attach the flange plate in a different position. Tighten up the screws again (tightening moments are listed in the chapter "Care and Maintenance").

Attaching the Round Baler to the Tractor Particular care is required on and around the tractor and the round baler when attaching and detaching the round baler! Observe the tractor's maximum permissable supported and trailer loads. KR Attach the round baler to the attachment device, e.g. to the attachment linkage (), and secure as directed. Attach the actuating cord () to the tractor. Make sure that the actuating cord is not under tension and does not come into contact with the tyres when driving round corners. This also applies for bottom attachment, not shown here. 8

21 Jack Stand Risk of crushing hands and feet when actuating the jack stand. For operation, bring the jack stand () into the top position and twist the support plate tight beneath the front cross carrier. To do this: Take the load off the jack stand (using the crank) Unlock the safety bolt () Bring the jack stand to the top position Let the safety bolt lock into position Crank up the support plate beneath the cross carrier KR Use Safety Chain The safety chain () is used as additional protection of tailed machines, if they should disengage from the adjustable drawbar during the transportation. Attach the safety chain () with the corresponding mounting parts to the adjustable drawbar support of the tractor or another stated hitching point. The tolerance of the safety chain should be just as high that curves can be driven. The attachment of safety chain is not compulsory in all countries. RPN00075 Hydraulic Connections Make hydraulic connections when the engine is switched off. When connecting hydraulic hoses, make sure that there is no pressure in the hydraulics on the tractor and machine side. Lay hydraulic hoses in such a way that they are not under tension and do not come into contact with the tractor wheels when going round corners. Depending on the type of equipment, the round baler may require up to three hydraulic connections to the tractor.. Actuation of the tail gate / pick up. Hydrulic starter (special equipment). Separate pick up actuation (special equipment) Clean plugs on hydraulic hoses () before connecting them up to the particular couplings. Make sure that the hoses are mounted in the bracket (). KR

22 DANGER! Danger of entrainment at P.T.O. shaft. Effect: Risk of injury when drawing in open long hair, jewellery or baggy clothes. The machine may only be operated with an attached guard cup. Universal drive shaft Attaching the guard cup for universal shaft Remove guard cup () out of the twine box. Push guard cup () above the P.T.O. shaft at transfer gearbox () and install it with its hose clamp () at the transfer gearbox () in that way, that the great bore hole is all the way up around the circumference of the guard cup (). RPN000 Only slide the PTO shaft on to the PTO shaft stub when the engine is switched off and the ignition key has been removed. Make sure that the safety device locks into position. Secure the protecting tubes from rotating as well using chains. The PTO shaft () is equipped with an overload coupling. The maximum turning moment which can be transmitted is specified on the slip clutch. The permissable values for the machine are listed in "Technical Data". The overload guard is mounted on the machine side (observe the arrow on the PTO shaft). After mounting successfully, always attach the retaining chains (). KR Every time the PTO shaft is mounted, make sure that the safety device has locked into position. Only use PTO shafts supplied from the works. Electrical Connection Cables KR Lay electrical connection cables in such a way that they are not under tension and do not come into contact with the tractor wheels when going round corners. Before every journey on public highways, fit with a lighting system and check that this is functioning correctly. Make the connection between the lighting system on the round baler and the tractor's electrics using the 7- pole plug coupling (). Lay the cable () such that it cannot come into contact with the wheels. Depending on the type of equipment, connection cables to the electronic final pressure gauge as well as the connection cable for the comfort controls must also be laid to the tractor (see chapter "Special Equipment"). 0

23 Actuating Cord for the Starter Mechanism Lay the actuating cord for the starter mechanism in such a way that it is not under tension and does not come into contact with the tractor wheels when going round corners and thereby activate a wrapping cycle or damage the starter mechanism. The binding process in the round baler is initiated by actuating the starter actuating cord. It must be attached to the tractor in such a way that the driver can reach it easily. The adjacent diagram shows the actuating cord () attached to the actuating lever (). KR Selection of Binding Material The selection of the binding material is of great importance for the trouble-free use of the round baler and for storage of crops. High-quality binding material also guarantees safe handling when transporting the round bales..6. Bale Counter The bale counter () is mounted on the left hand side of the machine behind the rear side guard plate. The bale counter is activated by a bracket () and a chain () every time the tail gate is opened. The bale counter can be set back using the knurled screw (4) KR-0-07

24 .6.4 Road Journeys Driving on public highways is only permitted with the bale chamber empty and closed. The maximum permissable speed is 5 km/h. Carrying passengers on the round baler is forbidden. The road safety of the round baler must be checked before driving on public highways, in particular the lighting, tyres, protective plates must be locked, the pick up must be raised and secured. Before starting, make sure you can see in and around the tractor perfectly and can see the round baler clearly. Before commencing journeys on public highways the roadworthiness of the tractor and the round baler must be checked and corrected if necessary. Minimum Empty Weight The round baler has no brakes. According to the specifications of the German Regulations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic, the tractor requires a minimum empty weight to travel on public highways with the round baler. Data is listed in the section "Technical Data"..6.5 Detaching the Round Baler Park the round baler on firm flat ground only. When parking on loose ground, increase the size of the pads on the jack stand. Secure the round baler from rolling away using wheel chocks before uncoupling the round baler. Care is required when lowering the jack stand - risk of crushing. Release the pressure in the hydraulics system before removing hydraulic hoses. This is particularly important for machines which are driven with comfort controls (see chapter for special equipment: "Comfort Controls"). Remove the PTO shaft only when the engine is switched off. Remove the ignition key.

25 Secure the baler from rolling away accidentally using wheel chocks (). The wheel chocks are located behind the side plates on the round baler. KR-0-08 Bring the jack stand () from the transport position into the jacking position and wind down. (For handling, see chapter.6. - "Jack Stand" section) KR-0-08 Remove the PTO shaft from the PTO shaft stub with the engine switched off and lay it on the PTO shaft plate (). KR-0-08

26 Undo the hydraulic hoses () as well as the actuating cord and the electrical connection cables and place them in the appropriate containers in the twine box. Unlock the three-point linkage or remove the bolt (the same applies for the swinging drawbar) and carefully drive the tractor forward. KR

27 . Working with the Round Baler. Special Notes on Safety Besides the general notes on safety, a number of additional safety notes also apply for working with the round baler. The following always applies for all maintenance, mounting, repair and adjustment work: Bring the machine to a standstill. Switch off the engine. Remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away. Keep a sufficiently safe distance from all moving parts in the round baler while it is in operation. This applies to the crop collecting devices in particular. Clear blockages here only when the PTO shaft and engine are switched off. Never stand in the swivel space of the tail gate or under the tail gate when it is not secured. Always secure the tail gate from lowering with the shut-off tap when carrying out maintenance, mounting or repair work on the bale chamber or the tail gate. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Switch off the PTO shaft immediately in dangerous situations and bring the round baler to a standstill. Never run the round baler without an operator in the tractor. The round baler may only be operated with a PTO shaft speed of 540 rpm. Risk of injury from the cutting blades in the double twine binding device! On slopes always place bales in such a way that they cannot be accidentally be set in motion. Once set in motion they can cause severe injury due to their weight and shape.. Basic Settings for the Round Baler for Different Crops Judgement of the working conditions is an essential factor for the basic settings on the round baler, e.g. bale density, height setting of the pick up, baffle plate setting etc. The following criteria should be observed when choosing the basic settings. Crop ==> e.g. hay, straw, grass silage Crop length ==> long, medium or short crops Swath width and height ==> broad, narrow or high swaths Crop Length of Crop Swath Size What Setting? long short large small Straw / Hay X X baffle plate high Straw / Hay X X baffle plate low Straw / Hay X X baffle plate high Straw / Hay X X baffle plate low Silage X baffle plate high Silage X baffle plate low 5

28 . Baling Process Drive up to the beginning of a swath with the round baler and observe the points in the following sections. Settings not described in these sections can be found in the "Settings" chapter in these operating instructions..4 Checking the Tail Gate Lock The tail gate is correctly locked when the baling pressure gauge () on the right hand side of the machine indicates a position below "O" when the bale chamber is empty. KKR Lowering the Pick Up The pick up is raised and lowered hydraulically from the tractor using a control valve. Using the control cord (), bring the reversing valve () on the front side of the round baler into position (), pick up operation. The symbol on the sign () must be pointing forwards. KR

29 .6 Forward Speed and PTO Shaft Speed The working speed is dependent on the following factors: Type of crop Moisture content of the crop Swath height Swath width Ground conditions Adapt your forward driving speed to the conditions. Avoid overloading the round baler. Take a speed of 5 - km/h as a guide. Reduce the speed at the start and at the end of each baling process cycle. The drive characteristics with a MINISTOP machine are shown in the adjacent diagram. Note the following: The binding process at the end of a particular baling process must be initiated during crop collection. Crop collection can be started again while the tail gate is still closing. Do not select too high a forward speed at the beginning and the end of crop collection. PTO SHAFT SPEED FW DRIVING SPEED MAX / 0 MAX / 0 baling stop binding bale ejection tail gate open close baling KR Filling the Bale Chamber The bale chamber must be filled uniformly in order to obtain a uniform bale density inside the round bale. The swath width is of great importance here. The optimum width is when the swath is exactly as wide as the bale chamber. Exact forming of round bales can not be guaranteed when the swath is wider. The bale is frayed at the sides and is hard to transport out of the bale chamber. With narrow swaths, uniform filling of the bale chamber can only be achieved by collecting from the left and right sides of the swath alternately. However, do not do this by driving in zig-zags. Drive long stretches up the left and the right sides of the swath, as shown in the adjacent diagram. Changing too frequently and nonuniform filling lead to barrel-shaped bales and nonuniform bale density. The baling pressure achieved (volume filled) can be read off the baling pressure gauges for the left and right hand sides of the machine separately. ~~ 0 m KR-0-07 Barrel-shaped bales can damage the roller panel. Non-uniformly formed and compressed round bales jeopardise proper silage collection. 7

30 .8 Completing the Baling Process 0 KR 0 0 KR-0-04 If the pre-selected baling pressure has been reached (baling pressure gauges () at the level of the preselected indicator ()), the baling process can be completed. Follow the steps listed to do this. Start the binding process, while still collecting more crop, until the binding or wrapping material is gripped by the bale. Stop the tractor and carry out the binding process. On completion of the binding process, open the bale chamber and eject the round bale (see also section "Forward Speed and PTO Speed" in this chapter)..9 Dismounting the Straw Trap The straw trap weighs approx. 40 kg. Beware of possible risks of crushing when carrying out adjustment and mounting work. Under some work conditions, e.g. on slopes or when working with foil, it is advisable to dismount the straw trap (). Dismount screws (). The straw trap can now be moved backwards. KR Baling Other Products The round baler is constructed exclusively for standard use in agricultural work (proper use). If other products are also collected and baled with the round baler in deviation from the proper use, particular care and attention is required. If crops other than agricultural ones are baled, these must also be laid out in swathes and collected automatically by the pick up by driving over the swath. Before you process crops other than those defined as being for proper use, please consult your local KRONE dealer. 8

To do this undo screws () and () and adjust the height of the feeler wheel in the slot (4). Tighten up the screws again. For very flat crops lying on the ground it may be necessary to have the pick up running on the feeler wheels only, so it adapts to the ground contours better, without hanging it from low limit chains. 4 With particularly short and dry crops it may be that the pick up does not collect the crop optimally even when in a lower working position. The round baler should then be tilted forward by shifting the swinging drawbar (see chapter "Preparing the Round Baler"). KR Adjusting the Height of the Baffle Plate Risk of crushing when adjusting the height of the baffle plate. Secure the pick up from accidental lowering. The height adjustment of the baffle plate () is made with a chain () and carabiner hook ().

37 4.. The Binding Process for Twine Wrapping The round balers can be simultaneously equipped with a net wrapping mechanism as well as the twine wrapping mechanism. Note that only one wrapping mechanism is started at any one time. For this reason only the synthetic cord or the steel cord may be attached to the actuating lever. For twine wrapping in standard models there is mechanical actuation for the starter via a synthetic cord (). The starter is initiated via the actuating lever (). Hold the the actuating cord under tension until the twine is taken by the bale in the bale chamber. KR-0-08 The cutter blade in the net wrapping mechanism must be raised and locked in order to be able to work with twine binding in round balers which are additionally equipped with a net wrapping mechanism. To do this, move the lever () on the right hand side of the machine in direction of the arrow. Rotate the stop () behind the actuating wheel () forwards (see the direction of the arrow). KR

66 Faults - Causes and Elimination. Special Notes on Safety Repair, care, maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out when the machine is at a standstill. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Secure the round baler and the tractor from rolling away. When the tail gate is open, secure it from lowering with the shut-off tap. On completion of repair, care and maintenance work remount all protective plates and protective devices properly. Avoid skin contact with oil and grease. In case of injury caused by oil, seek medical attention immediately.. Tabular List of Faults, their Causes and Elimination Fault Pick up will not lower Possible Cause Reversing valve in the wrong position Compensation springs on the pick up are set too rigidly Pick up bearings are difficult to turn Elimination Put the reversing valve in the pick up position Set the compensation springs such that only the pick up is lowered Oil the bearings Blockages in the input area. In case of blockages stop immediately and switch off the PTO shaft, as otherwise the roller panel bars and the binding mechanism may be damaged. Eliminate blockages. The crop falls out between the roller and the roller panel chain during the baling process. Non-uniform height or swaths too large. Too great a forward speed. Machine hitched too high at the front. Compression rake/baffle plate set loo low. Distance between the roller and the elevator chain is too great. The chain is not sufficiently well oiled and shortens, thereby increasing the distance between the roller and the elevator chain. Split the swaths Reduce the forward speed. Drive more slowly at the start of the baling process until the crop collected rolls into the bale chamber. Check the setting of the swinging draw bar. Lower at the front if necessary. Set the compression rake/baffle plate higher. Shift the roller to reduce the distance. Oil the elevator chain. 64

67 Fault Roller panel chain is knocking against the roller. Causes loud noises. Roller panel chain becomes shorter. An electronic final pressure gauge does not work. Possible Cause The roller panel chain has lengthened. Chain dirty and not oiled. Electrical supply from the tractor to the gauge unit has been interrupted. Elimination Move the roller forwards. Clean and oil chain. Check the electrical supply using the circuit diagram. The operating voltage must be V. Caution! Don not cause any short circuits. The right hand baling pressure gauge does not go right down to the lowest position. One baling pressure gauge does not go up to the upper baling pressure area. The binding material comes undone in the middle of barrelshaped bales. Bale is cone-shaped The tail gate lock is not locked properly. Locking hook does not lock into position. Setting of the baling pressure gauge is not correct. Indicator needle does not extend completely. Setting of the baling pressure gauge is not correct. Bale chamber is not uniformly filled. Number of windings is too low. Bale chamber is only filled on one side. Too high a driving speed at the end of the baling process. Twine or wrapping material is torn. Number of windings is not sufficient. Binding / wrapping comes loose. Open the tail gate again and close again quickly. Check the mobility of the struts, blow out dirt form the housing, tighten the extension springs more. Check the setting of the baling pressure gauge, readjust. Clear of dirt by blowing out the housing and / or make the indicator needle mobile. Check the setting of the baling pressure gauge, readjust. Drive back and forth over the swath. Increase the number of windings. Make sure the bale chamber is filled uniformly, and above all drive more slowly at the end of the baling process. Drive more slowly at the end of the baling process. Only use twine or wrapping material of the recommended quality. Set the binding device to a narrower winding spacing or increase the number of windings at the binding mechanism. Bale has differing diameters on the left and right hand sides. Distance between the tensioning pin in the locking lever and the hook too great. Hydraulic cylinder on the tail gate lock is defective. Correct the setting of the locking lever. Replace the cylinder. 65

68 Fault Twine is not fed in at on starting. Twine slips off the edges of the bales. The twine is not cut off at the same time in double twine binding. Twine holder in double binding is not taken. Possible Cause O ring in the starter defective. Starter cord on the hydraulic starter mechanism is too long. On starting the drive rollers do not press against each other. Pressure rollers in the starter are too hard to move. Crop is very dry or crumbly. Cutting edge on the blade is not sharp enough. Twine brake set too lightly. Pressure rollers in the starter are too hard to move. Chain in double binding too loose. Elimination Replace the O ring. Friction wheel without an O ring must not press against the drive shaft. Check the cord or spring setting. Oil the bearings or undo the screws on the pressure rollers slightly then lock again. Set the twine limiter in the binding mechanism inwards. Drive slowly at the end of the baling process and continue to compress before binding without feeding any more crop. Sharpen the blades. Cutter must be free of paint. Readjust blade on excenter. Adjust the twine brake. Oil the bearings or undo the screws on the pressure rollers slightly then lock again. Chain tensioner defective. Wrapping material is not transported at the start process. Wrapping material has the wrong dimensions. Actuating wheel in wrapping mechanism not pressed against the friction wheel or free-wheeling in actuating wheel jams. Rolls of wrapping material are not inserted correctly in the collector mechanism and/or the rolls brake mechanism is not set correctly. The wrapping material is not inserted correctly in the wrapping mechanism. Only use rolls of wrapping material with the recommended dimensions. Check the settings of the drive wheels or make free-wheel mobile. Insert the rolls of wrapping material in accordance with the operating instructions. Adjust the roll brake. Draw the wrapping material out of the wrapping mechanism and insert again. Wrapping material tears off after the start process or immediately after being wrapped. Dirt in front of and on the start rolls can lead to the material slipping through. Blade carrier has come down again immediately after the start process. Roll brake is set too strong. Blade carrier too low. Remove accumulated dirt from the wrapping mechanism after long periods of use. Repeat start process, if necessary check the catch on spring bar can move. Check the setting of the brake mechanism. Check the setting of the brake mechanism. 66

69 Fault Wrapping material is not being cut off cleanly. Possible Cause Catch is in locked position. Blade carrier does not fall all the way down. Elimination Unlock. For hydraulic starter mechanisms: check the setting of the operating cord. Wrapping material comes out forward between the starter rollers directly after being cut. Wrapping material comes out between the starter rollers during the baling process. Wrapping material does not extend to the outer edge of the bale. The PTO shaft speed is kept too low during the wrapping process. Extension springs on the blade carrier have stretched or become torn off. Wrapping material is not correctly braked during the wrapping process. Wrapping material has become snagged on the cutter blades. Let the wrapping process run with a PTO shaft speed of approx. 400 rpm. Correct or replace the extension springs on the blade carrier. Check the setting of the brake mechanism. Check the setting of the cutter blades. Starter rollers in the wrapping mechanism are bent. Check the wrapping mechanism, replace if required. Tail gate does not open correctly. Hydraulic cylinder has a leak. Seal or replace the hydraulic cylinder. The bale does not roll or only rolls slowly out of the bale chamber. Too much crop remains on the straw trap. This crop is deposited with the bale when the bale is ejected. The sides are too full, i.e. the baling pressure is too high. Straw trap is set too low. Make narrower swaths. Reduce the baling pressure. Alter the height setting of the straw trap. 67

70 Special Equipment. Electronic Final Pressure Gauge The final pressure gauge may only be mounted on the tractor when the engine is switched off and the ignition key has been removed. Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away. When mounting the electronic final pressure gauge, make sure that the connection cable is not under tension and does not come into contact with the tractor wheels when driving round corners. Disconnect the power supply cable when welding on the tractor and round baler. Too high a voltage can cause damage to the electronic final pressure gauge. Attach the electronic final pressure gauge to the tractor in the driver's field of view using a magnet and connect to the round baler with a cable () to the socket () in the electronic final pressure gauge. Secure the plug with a bar. Attach the connection cable to the round baler with the cable clip (). A second cable provides the power supply ( volt). Plug this into the cigarette lighter. If the round baler is operated without an electronic final pressure gauge, seal the socket with the protective cap (4). 4 0 KR As soon as the bale has reached the pre-selected baling pressure shown on the pre-selected pressure gauge, a horn signal sounds and the two indicator lamps () on the final pressure gauge () are extinguished.the bale can then be wrapped. LINKS RECHTS KR

71 .. Adjusting the Final Pressure Gauge Do not cause any short circuits when carrying out checking, maintenance or repair work! Operational Check To check its operation, connect the final pressure gauge to the round baler and the power supply ( volt). Both indicator lamps must be illuminated. As soon as the baling pressure gauges () on the left or right hand side of the machine are raised and exceed the pre-selected value on the pre-selection gauges, the corresponding indicator lamps must go out. When both the left and right hand baling pressure gauges have exceeded the preselected value, a horn signal sounds as well. KKR000 Control Sensors The control sensors () on the final pressure gauge are located on the left and right hand sides of the machine behind the front protective plates. KR a If the baling pressure gauge and the pre-selection gauge overlap each other, the control plate must be set at such a height that the upper edge of the control plate is positioned in the middle of the sensor (). The distance a of the sensor from the control plate must be mm. KR

72 Control Plate To adjust the control plate () undo the attaching screws and slide the control plate in the slots (). Tighten up the attaching screws again after making the adjustment.

73 . Round Balers with a Wide Pick Up.. Adjusting the Working Height (low limit) of the Pick Up 4 Risk of crushing when adjusting the working height of the pick up. Secure the pick up from lowering unintentionally. To adjust the working height of the pick up, open the front lateral plate. The adjustment is made on the left and right hand sides of the machine using the bar with holes () which are connected to the hydraulic cylinder to raise the pick up. To adjust the height, raise the pick up remove linch pin () and shift the bars with holes. There is a slot () located on the lower attachment of the hydraulic cylinder to the pick up. In uneven ground conditions the pick up can move upwards. The setting of the bars with holes must be identical on both sides. In the basic position the distance from the tines to the ground should be approx. 0-0 mm. The settings of the compensation springs (4) must also be identical on both sides. KR Adjusting the Feeler Wheels Risk of crushing when adjusting the feeler wheels. Secure the pick up from lowering unintentionally. 4 KR-0-0 Set the feeler wheels () on the left and right hand sides of the pick up in such a way that these just touch the ground at the pre-selected pick up working height. To do this undo screws () and () and adjust the height of the feeler wheel in the slot (4). Tighten up the screws again. For very flat crops lying on the ground it may be necessary to have the pick up running on the feeler wheels only, so it adapts to the ground contours better, without hanging it from low limit chains. With particularly short and dry crops it may be that the pick up does not collect the crop optimally even when in a lower working position. The round baler should then be tilted forward by shifting the swinging drawbar (see chapter "Preparing the Round Baler"). 7

74 .. Drive Chains The pick up drive is on the left hand side of the machine. Tightening the Drive Chain Undo screws (4) on both sides of the pick up (). The pick up is displaced in the slots (5) by twisting the tensioner () supported on the mount () and the drive chain is thereby tightened. Oiling the Drive Chain Oil the drive chain every 4 operating hours with plantbased oil. 4 5 KR Adjusting the Augers Only adjust the auger when the the machine is at a standstill. Switch off the engine. Remove the ignition key. It is important to adjust the augers to the feed rake on the pick up after repair and mounting work. To do this, loosen the drive chain, raise the chain and twist the auger to the proper setting. The adjacent diagram shows the auger drive on the right hand side of the machine. Proceed in the same way on the left hand side of the machine. The auger () must be positioned with its lower edge () parallel to the scrapers () on the pick up. The feed rake (4) must protrude above the scrapers on the pick up by in front approx. 0 mm. This setting applies to the left and right hand augers in the pick up. 4 KR

75 ..5 Adjusting the Height of the Baffle Plate Risk of crushing when adjusting the height of the baffle plate on the pickup. Secure the pick up from accidental lowering KKR000 The height adjustment of the baffle plate () is effected via the chains () on the left and the right machine side. The roller crop guide () can be adjusted to the different swath sizes. To do this, hinge the chains () correspondingly higher (large swath) or lower (small swath) into the groove of the plate (6). The setting for the chains () must be made on both sides for the same height. The contact pressure of the whole baffle plate on the crop is adjusted at the adjusting screw () (left and right hand sides). The extension spring (4) exerts a force on the baffle plate tines. An adjustment is made at the holes, position "5"...6 Compression Rake An additional compression rake () is mounted on the pick up. It rests loose on top of the pick up. The compression rake can be dismounted easily once the pin () has been removed (its use is described in chapter "Working with the Round Baler"). KR
