31 Before and After Use 3 Before and After Use 3. Commissioning Before commissioning the round baler needs to be fully assembled and matched to the towing vehicle (refer to Appendix A "Commissioning"). If a different tractor is used later, the following needs to be checked and adjusted if necessary: drawbar height (see Appendix A "Commissioning") PTO shaft length (see Appendix A "Commissioning") Special Safety Instructions In addition to the general safety instructions, other special safety instructions apply for round baler operation. The following general rules apply to all maintenance, assembly, repair and adjustment work: Bring the machine to a stop. Switch off the engine. Remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor and the round baler against rolling. Keep an adequate safety distance to all moving parts of the round baler during operation. This applies especially to the collecting mechanism of the crop. Remove any clogging here only with the PTO and the engine switched off. Never remain in the swivel range of the rear flap or below the unsecured rear flap. In case of maintenance, mounting or repair work in the bale chamber or on the rear flap always protect the rear flap against lowering by means of the shut-off cock. Switch off the motor, remove the ignition key and disconnect the V supply voltage. If dangerous situations arise, turn off the PTO immediately and bring the round baler to a stop. Never let the round baler run if no operating personnel is on the tractor. The round baler may be operated with a maximum PTO shaft speed of 540 rpm only. Risk of injury from the cutting system cutter blades! On slopes, always place the round bales in such a way that they cannot move on their own. On account of their weight and their cylindrical shape, they can cause severe accidents, once they start moving. III -

36 Before and After Use 3..0 Running-in Period As the bale diameter and/or bale pressure increases, the load on the floor conveyor and drive also increase. The machine is designed for the specified bale diameters and firmness levels. Wrapping bales of excess size or increased bale pressure too frequently will result in increased wear and may result in premature damage to the machine. The time during which the first 00 round bales are formed may be considered the running-in period. (i.e. until the colour on the bale chamber walls is ground off). Cam-type cut-out clutch engaging: If the cam-type cut-out clutch engages (slips through) during the baling process, proceed as follows: Turn off the PTO Allow the PTO to run at idle until the cam-type cut-out clutch has engaged. Allow the PTO to run at nominal speed Friction clutch engaging: If the friction clutch engages (slips through) during the baling process, proceed as follows: Turn off the PTO Give the friction clutch some time to cool off Turn on the PTO Wait about minute of cooling off time for each second of clutch slippage.

40 III - 0 Before and After Use

41 Use 4 Use Special Safety Instructions In addition to the general safety instructions, other special safety instructions apply for round baler operation. The following general rules apply to all maintenance, assembly, repair and adjustment work: Bring the machine to a complete standstill. Switch off engine. Remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor and the round baler against rolling. Maintain an adequate safety distance to all moving parts of the round baler during operation. This applies especially to the baling material pick-up equipment. Remove clogs only when the PTO has been switched off and the engine is at a standstill. Never stand in the slewing range of the rear flap or underneath the tailgate when it is unlocked. During maintenance, assembly or repair work inside the bale chamber or to the tailgate always secure it against falling using the shut-off tap. Switch off the motor, remove the ignition key and disconnect the V supply voltage. If dangerous situations arise, switch off the PTO immediately and bring the round baler to a stop. Never let the round baler run if no operating personnel is on the tractor. The round baler can be operated at a PTO speed of 540 r.p.m. Risk of injury from the cutting system cutters. When working on slopes, always deposit round bales in such a way that they do not move. Should the bales start to move, they could cause serious accidents due to their weight and cylindrical form. 4. Adjustments before starting Work Before starting work, complete or check the following: Tighten baling floor (KRONE V 50, V 80) (see chapter "Before pressing/after pressing") pick-up working height roller-type Crop Guard position switch cutting system (special equipment) on or off cutting length of the cutting system (special equipment) use of the bale ejector. preselect baling pressure (KRONE F 5, F 55) select baling size (KRONE V 50, V 80) select twine or net wrapping. insert twine or net function of the chain lubrication device (special equipment) initialize bale counter setting the bale length (F 55) The working steps required are described in chapter 5 (Basic settings and operation). If the cutting system is switched on during baling, the bale density will increase substantially. For this reason the baling pressure may need to be reduced. IV -

42 Use Short, crumbly straw: reduce the number of cutter blades or switch off the cutting system or remove cutters. Small, flat swaths: reduce PTO speed or increase forward speed Straw varies greatly in structure. Even if no cutting system is used, it is not always possible to work at the highest possible pressure. Adapt the round baler setting to prevailing conditions. 4. Forward Speed and PTO Speed The forward speed during use depends on the following factors: type of baling material moisture content of the baling material height of swaths ground conditions Match forward speed to prevailing conditions. Do not overload the round baler. Recommended travelling speed: 5 - km/h When baling a round bale, reduce speed at the start and end of the baling process. 4.3 Filling the Bale Chamber To attain a consistent bale density inside a round bale, the bale chamber should be filled evenly. The swath width is an important factor here. The swath width is optimal if the swath has exactly the same width as the bale chamber. If the swath is wider than this, distortion of the round bales may result. The round bale will be frayed on the sides and difficult to eject from the bale chamber. If the swath is narrow, the bale chamber can be filled evenly only by driving onto the swath from alternate sides (left/right). Do not zigzag: drive long distances on the left and right side of the swath as shown in the illustration. Too frequent changes and uneven filling of the bale chamber will produce barrel-shaped round bales and uneven bale density. The current baling pressure is displayed by the baling pressure indicator on the right side of the machine or on the monitor if comfort controls are used. KR--07 IV -

43 (KRONE F 5, F 55) (KRONE V 50, V 80) Use Distorted and thick round bales are detrimental to proper silage production. The binding process should be started at the latest when the density indicators reach the red range (the buzzer sounds if the comfort control equipment is fitted). To prevent overload on the round baler when handling certain types of crop (e.g. wet silage), the binding process should already be started at an earlier point. Permanent overload can drastically reduce the service life of the round baler. Distorted and thick round bales are detrimental to proper silage production. In difficult operating conditions (e.g. when handling wet silage), baling pressure should be reduced to prevent any risk of overload. Baling pressure should by no means exceed 60 bar. 4.4 Wrapping and Depositing Bales Just before the net is fed, make certain you are driving the swath in the centre. This will ensure that the net is drawn along evenly over the edges. Start the tying and/or wrapping process (cf. chapter on operation), in the process always keep to the rated speed of 540 /min until the tying process is completed. Stop the tractor and wait until the twine or net wrapping process is complete. Eject round bales by opening the bale chamber. Close the bale chamber and start the next baling process simultaneously. 4.5 Before pressing (KRONE V 50, V 80) Before the PTO is switched on, the rolling floor of the bale chamber must be tightened. To do this: Screw in the handwheel () completely (working position). 3 After an extended standstill time of the machine and before it is started up for the first time, open the tailgate and close it again once. This will build up the baling pressure to the factory setting or the last pressure set. The baling pressure can be changed with the turn dial (3). (See chapter entitled "Baling pressure setting (KRONE V 50 V 80"). 4.5.After pressing (KRONE V 50, V 80) Slacken the baling floor of the bale chamber. After baling work is complete, the tension on the floor conveyor must be released. For this: Loosen the handwheel () completely. (park setting) VPN0000 IV - 3

Pick-up The following general rules apply to all maintenance, assembly, repair and adjustment work: Bring the round baler to a complete standstill. Switch off the motor, remove the ignition key and disconnect the V supply voltage. Secure the tractor and round baler against rolling. Risk of pinching when making adjustments to the pick-up. Secure the pick-up against unintentional lowering (e.g. by using a depth limiter). Adjust the pick-up working height to correspond to the prevailing ground conditions. The pick-up can be adjusted only after the baler has been set to the correct height (see A.). Basic Setting: The distance between the tines and the ground should be approximately 0 30 mm. Raise the pick-up (3) hydraulically. Remove the linch pin (). Set the perforated rail () in the required position. Secure in place using the linch pin (). Always adjust both sides. 3 RBN Bearing Pressure Relief of the Pick-up In order to be able to pass over unevenness better, the pick-up is supported by means of two springs. The springs can be set by means of the ring bolt (). Both springs should be set equally. For extreme soil conditions, regulate the raking height of the pick-up with the chains () (right and left-hand side of the machine). To do this: Raise the pick-up. Move the guide wheels (3) up. Set the desired raking height by suspending the chain () around the pick-up. Make the adjustment on both sides.

64 Basic Settings and Operation 5. Central Chain Lubrication (Special Equipment) The central chain lubrication device is attached to the lefthand side of the machine behind the front guard. Each time the drive shaft makes a rotation, oil is forced out of the tank () via the pump () and the lubrication strips attached to the left-hand and right-hand side of the machine, and onto the brushes on the drive chains. The delivery rate can be adjusted by means of the eccentric (3) on the drive roller. Different nozzles are built into the lubrication strips for each lubrication point. Depending on consumption, check the oil supply in the container and top off if necessary. It must absolutely be ensured that no water or dust can enter the tank. 3 RBV0550 If the lubricant container is empty, the central chain lubrication device needs to be bled: Fill the container hose with oil before connecting it to the pump. The pump must be completely free of air before being connected to the system. Actuate the pump manually until oil appears. Replace filter () once a year. First remove, empty and then thoroughly clean the tank (). Only then replace filter (). Do not remove filter () if oil is present in the filter. It must absolutely be ensured that no water or dust can enter the tank (). Use recommended oils only! Different types of oil can be used. Viscosity similar to 5W40. Use biodegradable, non-toxic oils only. (e. g. Fuchs Plantogear 00 - N Mineral Oil or Castrol Optimol Optileb GT 00) Do not use adhesive oils for chains since these would get stuck inside the system!

Follow all further safety instructions, to avoid accidents and injuries. 0. General Information Clean the round baler thoroughly inside and outside before putting it in winter storage. If a high-pressure cleaner is used, do not aim the water jet directly at the bearing points. Grease all lubricating points after cleaning. Do not wipe away any grease which oozes out of the bearings. This grease ring provides additional protection against moisture. Remove the drive chains and wash them in petroleum (do not use any other solvent). At the same time, check for wear to the chains and chain wheels. Lubricate the chains after cleaning, attach and tighten. Check that all moving parts (such as deflection rollers, joints, tension rollers, etc.) move easily. If necessary, remove, clean and remount after regreasing. Replace if necessary. Use original KRONE spare parts only. Take apart the PTO shaft. Grease the inner tubes and protecting tubes. Apply grease to the lubrication nipple on the universal joint and to the bearing rings on the protecting tubes. Park the round baler in a dry place away from artificial fertilisers or animal stalls. Touch up damaged paintwork, thoroughly coat unpainted parts with anti-corrosion agent. Use only a suitable vehicle jack to jack up the round baler. Make sure that the machine is in a secure position when jacked up. Jack up the round baler to prevent damage to the tyres (tyre damage may occur when the round baler is left standing in the same position for extended periods). Protect the tyres against outside influences such as oil, grease, direct sunshine, etc. Complete the required repair work immediately following the harvest season. Prepare a list of all required spare parts. This makes it easier for your KRONE dealer to process orders and you can be certain that your machine will be available for use in top condition at the start of the next season. X -
