A - Locked Position

If machine is connected to a tractor, engage tractor parking brake and place transmission in Park, shut off engine and remove key.

If machine is detached from tractor, block wheels to prevent movement.

Engage gate lock lever when working inside or around baler with an open gate. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death.

Before servicing or adjusting baler:

1. Disengage all power.
2. Shut off tractor engine.
3. Wait until all moving parts have stopped.
4. Let all components cool.

Disconnect monitor-controller wire harnesses from baler when servicing electrical systems or when welding on baler. Over-voltage can damage the electronic controls.

While working inside or around the baler with an open gate, the gate lock lever must be moved to locked position (A). Use this safety feature any time gate is open. Close gate anytime the baler must be left unattended.

If bale push bar is installed, be sure that bystanders are clear and there is sufficient clearance behind baler when opening gate for service.

If gate is partially raised, push bar can remain in the home position held only by slight spring force. If arms are pushed backwards, they will spring upward slowly under spring force. When servicing machine with gate open, raise gate fully and lock the gate, or lock out push bar. (See LOCK OUT BALE PUSH BAR in Operating the Baler section.)
