gages. With the pin engaged, try to move the PTO

back and forth to ensure it is locked on the tractor

shaft.

ATTENTION: Stop the tractor engine! This should

also release the tractor PTO stub shaft and allow it

to rotate freely.

NOTE: Keep the push pin and splines well oiled at

all times to operate and slide easily onto the tractor

shaft.

Remove the weight from the jack stand. Disengage

latch (1) and locate it in notch (5). Grab the jack

crank with both hands and lift up the jack. Release

latch (1) from notch (5).

Lift the jack all the way up until the spring-loaded

latch (1) snaps engaged in the lower hole in the jack

stand. Grab the jack at the crank (2) and/or the grab

handle (3) Figure 18.

ATTENTION: Be cautious when operating the jack

stand. There is risk of injury by pinching or shearing

points.

6.

Raise or lower the tractor lower draft arms so that

they cannot damage the PTO shaft and/or PTO

guards when making turns. It may be necessary to

remove them on some tractors.

7.

Check proper length of the PTO shaft with the trac-

tor in straight line to ensure sufficient overlap of the

telescoping shafts (maintain a minimum overlap of

one third of the length of the telescoping shafts at all

times.)

Make maximum possible turns to the left and to the

right and check proper length in the shortest working

position to avoid bottoming out of the telescoping

shafts.

4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

If distance (X) gets below 20 mm, either:

•

Increase the tractor drawbar length (e.g. from 35

cm to 41 cm) in case the baler tongue is fitted in

the low position and attached to the tractor swinging

drawbar.

OR

•

Shorten the PTO shaft in case the baler is fitted in

the high position and attached to the tractor rear tow

hook, see next paragraph.

Check for possible interferences with baler tongue com-

ponents, hydraulic hoses and electric cables.

ZIL10FCRB097AAA

20

NOTE: It is preferable to have a positive limitation on

the turning angle (i.e. tires contacting the baler tongue),

rather than having the possibility to exceed the PTO shaft

design capabilities. To avoid interferences and excessive

PTO angles, attach the baler closer to the tractor.

NOTICE: Disengage the tractor PTO when making ex-

tremely tight turns.

Restrict the PTO angle to:

•

Maximum 70 ° when disengaged or running idle.

•

Maximum 35 ° for continuous operation under heavy

load.

Shortening the PTO shaft - high hitch posi-

tion

Should the PTO shaft need shortening, proceed as fol-

lows:

1.

Remove the front half of the PTO shaft from the

baler.

Place the rear half in the PTO support.

2.

Attach the baler to the tractor and make the sharpest

possible turn left or right as illustrated in Figure 19

and Figure 20.

Shut the tractor down. Attach the front half of the

PTO shaft to the tractor.

3.

Hold both PTO halves alongside each other and

mark the length to be cut off the front half guard.

4.

Cut the plastic guard.

5.

Cut the telescoping tube by the same amount as the

guard.

6.

File down sharp edges from the tube, remove any

swarf and thoroughly grease the telescoping tube.

7.

Also shorten the rear half guard and tube by the

same amount.

Further modifications to the PTO shaft and guards

are not allowed.

Hydraulic system

WARNING

Pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate the

skin and cause severe injuries.

Tighten all of the connections before starting

the engine. If hydraulic fluid has penetrated

the skin, seek medical assistance immedi-

ately.

Failure to comply could result in death or se-

rious injury.

The supply hoses (3) on the baler to operate the tail-

gate and the hydraulic pickup lift have a tractor-end

male coupler (1) complying with FIEI standard di-

mensions.

An adaptor (2) joins the hose to the coupler. This

coupler will fit most of our tractors, as well as the

majority of other brands of tractors. If this is not

the case, obtain the appropriate quick-coupler for

the tractor that will be used, and possibly another

adaptor that will fit the hose (3).

Install the couplers using Teflon tape or a similar

material on the threads to prevent joint leakage.

Couplers are provided with a colored cap for suggested usage:

ATTENTION: Check with your tractor dealer to be certain

your tractor hydraulic fluid is compatible with the baler oil.

If there is any question about the oil compatibility, purge

all oil from the baler hydraulic system, otherwise damage

to the tractor hydraulic system could result.

NOTE: The tailgate and rotor reverser supply hoses and

cylinders contain approximately 1 l of oil.

Keep the hose ends and fittings free from contamination

during installation and hook up, or damage to the tractor

and/or baler hydraulic system may result.

2.

Securely install the hydraulic hose quick-disconnect

couplings (1) into the tractor remote control hy-

draulic outlets so the baler tailgate and pickup will

function properly in both directions.

Raise and lower the tailgate several times with the

tractor hydraulics. This will purge air from the hy-

draulic system and fill the system with oil.

NOTE: As the baler will retain a portion of the hy-

draulic oil from the tractor, check the tractor hy-

draulic system for correct oil level after purging and

add oil if necessary.

3.

Check all hose and tubing connections for hydraulic

leaks and tighten where necessary.
