Carefully review the procedures given in this manual with all operators. It is important that all operators be familiar with and follow safety precautions. The Round Baler 1. Keep safety decals free of dirt and grime. 2. Replace all damaged, missing or illegible safety decals. 3. Install all shields before operating the round baler. 4. Keep the round baler free of dust, chaff and hay. Always have a fire extinguisher handy. 5. Never operate the round baler without the PTO shield in place. Make sure the PTO shield rotates freely. On a RBX562 make sure the shield chain is attached. Towing the Round Baler 1. Do not exceed 32 KPH (20 MPH) when towing the round baler. Do not tow the baler with a bale in the bale chamber. 2. Make sure the SMV, reflective tape and lights are clean and clearly visible. 3. Refer to local, state or provincial laws and regulations for restrictions on public roads. 4. Make sure the taillights are operating properly. 5. Raise and secure the pickup in its highest position. Operating the Round Baler 1. Read the Operators Manual before operating the round baler. 2. Only allow properly trained persons to operate the round baler. 3. Allow only one operator on the tractor. 4. Do not permit anyone to ride on the round baler. 5. Do not engage the PTO before you are sure everyone is clear of the round baler. 6. Do not work around the round baler in loose clothing that might catch in moving parts. 7. Do not attempt to pull crop from the round baler without turning off the PTO. 8. Keep hands away from the twine knife. Be sure all persons are clear of the baler before operating the twine tubes. 9.

Do not back over windrows, the hay may wedge between the floor roll and pickup. 13. Do not make overweight bales. The round baler may be damaged. 14. Do not exceed the full bale size.

Be sure all persons are clear of the round baler before starting the round baler, activating the wrapper or opening the tailgate. 16. Do not adjust the pickup lower than necessary. 17. When operating on slopes, the bale must be ejected on the side of the slope to prevent the bale from rolling into the baler or down the hill. 18. Avoid contact with electric power lines.

Make sure the PTO drive is disengaged, the tractor engine is shut off and the electric power supply to the baler is disconnected before doing any lubrication, maintenance, or service work on the baler. 3. Park on level ground and block the wheels to prevent the round baler from rolling. 4. Do not adjust the belts with the round baler running. 5. Do not oil the chains with the baler running. 6. Do not modify or allow anyone else to modify the round baler without consulting the dealer. 7. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. • Do not use your hand to check for leaks.

To protect the alternator and battery of the tractor, always detach the tractor from the baler before welding or working on the baler electrical components. 9. Always chock the wheels before working on the baler. 10. Hydraulic flexible hose assemblies must be inspected periodically for signs of abrasive rubbing of the cover, leakage, or impending failure and appropriate corrective action taken to help prevent unexpected assembly failures.
