slopes.
GENERAL AND OPERATING SAFETY PRE-
CAUTIONS
It is strictly forbidden to operate or have the
D
machine operated by those who have not
read and understood the instructions of this
manual, as well as by non- -authorized staff,
or when unhealthy.
Most agricultural accidents can be avoided
D
by observing some basic safety rules.
Your "baler" has been designed bearing safety in
D
mind.
Nevertheless, accidents can be prevented by
acting cautiously and carefully.
It is too late to think about accident prevention
once the accident has occurred!
Carefully read this manual before reaching the
D
machine, operating it, carrying out maintenance
operations or other. A few minutes' reading save
time and future failures.
Carefully read all the safety decals of the ma-
D
chine and comply with the instructions.
Immediately replace damaged or missing decals
and possibly order them by your local dealer.
DANGER: many of the illustrations in this ma-
nual show the machine with standard guards,
or the guards - - required by law in different
countries - - open or removed for better illustrating a
special detail or adjustment.
The machine must never be operated in these
conditions. For your safety, always make sure all
the safety guards are closed or fitted correctly
before starting the machine.
Before any filling and maintenance operation, al-
D
ways release the PTO and switch the tractor off.
Always wear the personal protection devices
such as goggles, cut--proof gloves, safety shoes,
ear muffs, etc...
Before starting work, familiarize with control de-
D
vices and their functions.
While harvesting, never stand on the moving or
D
operating baler.
When there's someone standing next to the ma-
D
chine hazardous area, the operator should stop
the machine immediately and send away the by-
standers.
Never carry people or animals on the baler.

It is strictly forbidden to place the machine next
D
to or under terraces, balconies, raised barns and
platforms.
Always keep children far from the baler.

It is advisable to keep a suitable fire extinguisher
D
(approx. capacity 6 kg and fire class ABC) in a
tractor part within easy reach from the ground.
1 TRACTOR COUPLING AND UNCOU-
PLING FROM THE BALER

D
match correctly (tow hook, eyebolt, hydraulic
