SECTION 5 ‐ FAULT FINDING
WARNING When adjusting, cleaning, lubricating or carrying out repairs, the baler must be completely stopped. Disengage the PTO, stop the tractor engine, remove tractor starting key, engage the flywheel brake and lock the knotter tripping mechanism and stuffer lock.
In troubleshooting knotter malfunctions, it is
necessary to identify the characteristics of the knot
mistie, then match the characteristic of the mistie to
the concern column and to identify the possible cause
and remedy. Operate the baler through the tying
cycle manually or using the tractor engine at idle rpm.
Thereby the items listed under Possible Cause can
be observed to determine the concern. Refer to the
knotter maintenance section for additional
information and correct adjustment and procedure.

INTEGRATED AUTOMATIC OILER
OIL PUMP
Damage to the internal gear pump due to dry
operation must be avoided, there must be no suction
of air through the suction filter at any time.
The vertical slewing position of the suction filter
Service (1) is only for the replacement of the filter. For
normal operation the suction filter must be in the
horizontal position (2).
To avoid damage of the pump caused by lack of oil check:
1
Suction filter: Ensure before operation and/or after any
transport the suction filter is set for operation (2).
Oil level: Check the oil level approximately every two
days, and ensure the oil level does not fall below the
minimum mark (3). Any oil over the maximum level
mark (4), may result in spilt oil on inclines.
CONCERN POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Low oil consumption. Insufficient flow Increase oil supply from the
monitor.

Fluid in reservoir too low. Add fluid up to level indicator.
Defective pressure gauge. Replace gauge.
Defective pump. Check and replace if necessary
(dealer operation).
Load sensor or monitor not

Check connections.
Defective load sensor or faulty

pressure (increase or decrease).
Normal reading when baling
conditions as well as ground
speed are uneven. The electronic
load sensing device allows to have
a constant load applied on the
bale by the plunger, and therefore
the hydraulic pressure in the
density cylinders will vary
according to the baling conditions.

Error overview
As discussed in Section 2 the monitor can display
errors that may have occurred during baling and can
be selected to help the operator to make decisions on
actions to take.
IMPORTANT: These error codes are displayed on the monitor should an error occur: the operator can take the decision on whether to stop baling. They are not intended as an aid for the operator to repair the machine, therefore consult your Dealer when a repair is necessary.

SECTION 6 - VEHICLE STORAGE
Your baler represents an important investment and its life
depends upon how well you take care of it.
END‐OF‐SEASON SERVICE Follow the steps outlined below at the end of each
season's use or when the machine will not be used
for an extended period of time. This will ensure the
baler is kept in good condition and ready for the next
season.
1. Remove all the crop left in the machine to
facilitate cleaning.
2. Clean the interior and exterior of the baler
thoroughly because any chaff and dirt left in the
machine will attract moisture and cause rust.
NOTE:
• Avoid pressure washing at ambient temperatures below 10! C (50! F) or when the machine is wet. Place the machine in a heated workshop or dry barn for at least 24 hours, and clean it only when fully dried.
• Avoid to direct water jets onto electric equipment, bearings, seals, gearbox, oil tank filler caps.
• When using a high pressure washer spray:
- Keep a minimum distance of 30 cm (11 in)
between the spray gun and the surface to be
cleaned.
- Spray under an angle of minimum 25° (do not
spray in perpendicular direction).
- Maximum water temperature: 60°C (140°F).
- Maximum water pressure: 60 bar (870 psi).
Do not use chemicals.
- Legislation in certain countries and good
practice requires special treatment of waste
water through sedimentation, oil separation
and controlled removal of residues.
3. Remove all chains. Clean and coat the chains
with oil. Reinstall them, then adjust to the correct
tension.
4. Check free rotation and movement of all rollers
and moving parts. Remove, clean and lubricate
as necessary.
5. Lubricate the machine thoroughly, as described
in Section 4 ‐ LUBRICATION AND
MAINTENANCE.
6. Operate the baler for a few minutes to work the
oil into the chains and bearings.
7. Coat all bright parts with paint, a rust
preventative, oil or grease to protect them from
rust.
8. Retract all hydraulic cylinders and coat exposed
parts of the cylinder rods with grease.
9. Store the baler in a dry place, protected from the
weather. Do not store close to artificial fertilizers
or spraying chemicals.
10. Support the baler on wooden blocks to relieve the
weight from the tyres. Leave tyres inflated. Tyre
and rubber components life will be extended if
protected from sunlight during storage.
IMPORTANT: Periodic checks will help to keep your baler maintenance and repairs to a minimum and avoid costly breakdowns during the season. Therefore, it is good practice to have the baler inspected at the end of the season. Your dealer will gladly quote a price for this work.
6ï1
ORDERING PARTS AND/OR ACCESSORIES When preparing the baler for storage, check
thoroughly for any parts that may have become worn
and need replacing.
Parts and/or Accessories should be ordered at once
and fitted before the next baler season.
SECTION 6 - VEHICLE STORAGE
When ordering Parts and/or Accessories, always
ensure to give your dealer the model number and
serial number of your baler. See the chapter headed
”Product Identification”.
INSIST ON GENUINE MANUFACTURED
”QUALITY” PARTS AS THEY WILL GIVE THE BEST
PERFORMANCE AND ARE COVERED BY OUR
WARRANTY.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE YOUR BALER
SHOULD BE SERVICED BY AN AUTHORISED
DEALER.
Check if the following parts need replacement:
1. Examine all chains and sprockets for wear.
Replace worn sprockets when installing new
roller chains. Pay special attention to the apron
chain and roller bearings.
2. Check the pick-up for any broken or bent pick-up
tines.
3. Check the pick-up cam follower bearings to
ensure they are in good condition.
4. Determine next season's requirements of oil and
lubricant for:
• Main drive gearbox
• Stuffer drive gearbox
• Knotter drive gearbox
• Centralized greasing system
• Integrated automatic oiler
5. Determine next season's requirements of twine
material.
6ï2
6. If the baler is equipped with a Rotor Cutter,
determine the need for replacement or
sharpening of the cutter knives. Check the
operation of the knife break-away protection
device. Use the slug wrench.
PRE-SEASON SERVICE
Follow the steps outlined below at the beginning of
each season to ensure the machine is in good
condition and ready for use.
1. Remove the wooden blocks supporting the baler.
2. Check the tyre pressure.
3. Check the wheel nuts torque.
4. Reinstall all drive chains and adjust the tension as
described in this manual.
5. Check for any loose hardware.
6. Lubricate the baler, as detailed in the ”Lubrication
Schedule”.
7. Check the oil level of the following and add oil, if needed:
• Main drive gearbox
• Stuffer drive gearbox
• Knotter drive gearbox
• Centralized greasing system
SECTION 6 - VEHICLE STORAGE
• Integrated automatic oiler
8. Check machine adjustments, as described in Section
4 ‐ LUBRICATION AND
MAINTENANCE.
9. Run the baler at half speed and check for problems.
10. Run the baler at full speed, engage the
feedingmechanism and the knotter system and check for
problems.
11. Check all hydraulics and the brakes.
12. Lubricate the baler once again, but do not overgrease.
13. Reinstall all safety guards.
14. Check the road light equipment for properfunctioning.
