Introduction Foreword
majority of routine failures quickly. Repair groups tell how to repair the components.
This manual is written for an experienced technician. Essential tools required in performing certain service work are identified in this manual and are recommended for use.
Information is organized in groups for the various components requiring service instruction. At the beginning of each group are summary listings of all applicable essential tools, service equipment and tools, other materials needed to do the job, service parts kits, specifications, wear tolerances, and torque values.
Live with safety: Read the safety messages in the introduction of this manual and the cautions presented throughout the text of the manual. CAUTION: This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on the machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury. The technical manual contains two types of information: diagnostics and repair. Diagnostic groups help you identify the
TM148319 (01.12.2018)
Technical Manuals are concise guides for specific machines. They are on-the-job guides containing only the vital information needed for diagnosis, analysis, testing, and repair. Fundamental service information is available from other sources covering basic theory of operation, fundamentals of troubleshooting, general maintenance, and basic type of failures and their causes.

Handle Fluids Safely—Avoid Fires
TS227-UN: Avoid Fires
When you work around fuel, do not smoke or work near heaters or other fire hazards. Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Do not incinerate or puncture pressurized containers. Make sure machine is clean of trash, grease, and debris. Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn spontaneously. DX,FLAME-19-19980929
Prevent Battery Explosions
TS204-UN: Battery Explosions
Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from the top of battery. Battery gas can explode. Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a volt-meter or hydrometer. Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode. Warm battery to 16°C (60°F). DX,SPARKS-19-19930303
Prepare for Emergencies
TS291-UN: First Aid Kit
Be prepared if a fire starts. Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy. Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance service, hospital, and fire department near your telephone. DX,FIRE2-19-19930303
Park Machine Safely
TS230-UN: Remove the Key
Before working on the machine:
Lower all equipment to the ground. Stop the engine and remove the key. Disconnect the battery ground strap. Hang a "DO NOT OPERATE" tag in operator station. DX,PARK-19-19900604

Safety
Operate Baler Safely
Stand clear of baler at all times when machine is operating.
Keep all shields in place when operating baler.
Do not exceed maximum bale diameter or weight limits. This can lead to accelerated wear or machine failures.
Become familiar with all controls affecting machine functions.
Do not attempt to pull hay or twine from pickup when baler is running. Never hand-feed twine or hay into baler.
Before servicing, adjusting, or removing material from the baler, always disengage all power and stop tractor engine. MR67966,0000C4F-19-20140408
All machinery should be operated by responsible persons who have been properly instructed and delegated to do so.
Protect Bystanders
E32162-UN: Crush
To prevent crushing injury be sure bystanders stand clear before operating gate and unloading bale. Stay clear of gate and/or push bar while opening or closing gate. MR67966,0000C50-19-20140408

Safety If machine is connected to a tractor, engage tractor parking brake and/or place transmission in "Park", shut off engine, and remove key.
Service Machine Safely
If machine is detached from tractor, block wheels to prevent movement. Before servicing or adjusting baler:
Disengage all power. Shut off tractor engine. Wait until all moving parts have stopped. Let all components cool.
CAUTION: While working inside or around baler with an open gate, gate lock lever and channel must be moved to locked position. Use this safety feature anytime gate is open. Close gate anytime baler must be left unattended. If gate is not locked while performing this procedure, gate could close suddenly causing injury or death. If gate cannot be fully raised to engage gate lock channel (A) during service, use hoist or appropriate lifting device to support gate.
TS698-UN: Safety Art
Channel (A) locks the left-hand gate lift cylinder to prevent the gate from falling if the hydraulic lift system fails. To lock gate in open position:
Raise gate fully. Move lever (B) to locked position (D). Inside surface (E) of channel (A) must contact top of cylinder rod. If channel (A) does not contact top of cylinder rod (as shown), adjust gate lock channel (A) side-to-side to engage cylinder rod or loosen cap screw (G). Lower gate cylinder slowly, approximately 20 mm (0.75 in.). Ensure gate lock channel (A) is against top of cylinder rod and end of cylinder barrel. If inside of channel (F) of gate lock channel (A) is not against top of cylinder rod and end of cylinder.
E79081-UN: Gate Lock Rod
To unlock gate:
Move lever (B) to unlocked position (C). Lower the gate.

Safety
E47598-UN: Safety—Pinched Hand
TS268-UN: Safety—Sharp Knives
Be careful when working around knives in the following areas. They are sharp.
Twine Cutter Knife (if equipped) Net Cut-Off Knife (if equipped) Starter Roll Scraper (if equipped)
Twine arm(s) can move unexpectedly when twine arm power is on. Stay out of the path of twine arm(s) at all times when twine arm power is on. During service or adjustment procedures for twine arm(s) or twine cutter mechanism, turn off power to twine arm(s) before placing your hands in the path of twine arm travel. If there is crop material which is holding twine arm(s) from moving freely during twine arm cycle, it is recommended that twine arm(s) be manually positioned to release any ‘hold” they may have on the crop material. Turn off power to twine arm(s). This will help to make the unplugging operation easier and prevent twine arm(s) from moving unexpectedly while your hands may be in the path of the twine arm(s). Stay out of the path of twine arm(s) at all times when power to twine arm(s) is ON. MR67966,0002AEE-19-20171213
Support Machine Properly
TS229-UN: Support Properly
Always lower the attachment or implement to the ground before you work on the machine. If the work requires that the machine or attachment be lifted, provide secure support for them. If left in a raised position, hydraulically supported devices can settle or leak down. Do not support the machine on cinder blocks, hollow tiles, or props that may crumble under continuous load. Do not work under a machine that is supported solely by a jack. Follow recommended procedures in this manual. When implements or attachments are used with a machine, always follow safety precautions listed in the implement or attachment operator′s manual. DX,LOWER-19-20000224
Wear Protective Clothing
TS206-UN: Protective Clothing
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises. Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones while operating machine. DX,WEAR-19-19900910

Work in Clean Area
T6642EJ-UN: Clean Work Area
Before starting a job:
Clean work area and machine. Make sure you have all necessary tools to do your job. Have the right parts on hand. Read all instructions thoroughly; do not attempt shortcuts. DX,CLEAN-19-19900604
Service Machines Safely
TS228-UN: Moving Parts
Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear a necktie, scarf, loose clothing, or necklace when you work near machine tools or moving parts. If these items were to get caught, severe injury could result. Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent electrical shorts and entanglement in moving parts. DX,LOOSE-19-19900604
Work In Ventilated Area
TS220-UN: Engine exhaust fumes
Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death. If it is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area, remove the exhaust fumes from the area with an exhaust pipe extension. If you do not have an exhaust pipe extension, open the doors and get outside air into the area. DX,AIR-19-19990217
Illuminate Work Area Safely
TS223-UN: Work Area Safely
Illuminate your work area adequately but safely. Use a portable safety light for working inside or under the machine. Make sure the bulb is enclosed by a wire cage. The hot filament of an accidentally broken bulb can ignite spilled fuel or oil. DX,LIGHT-19-19900604
