3.1 Commissioning
Before commissioning the round baler needs to be fully
assembled and matched to the tractor (refer to Appen-
dix A “Commissioning”).

If a different tractor is used later, the following needs to

be checked and adjusted, if necessary:

• Drawbar height (see Appendix A

“Commissioning”)
• Cardan shaft length (see Appendix A
“Commissioning”)

Special Safety Instructions

Apart from the general safety instructions there
are additional safety instructions for working with the
round baler.

• The following general rules apply to all maintenance, assembly, repair and adjustment work:
Bring the machine to a standstill. Switch off the engine. Remove the ignition key! Secure the
tractor and round baler against rolling. Cut supply voltage to comfort controls.
• Maintain an adequate safety distance to all moving parts of the round baler during opera-
tion. This applies especially to the baling material pick-up equipment. Remove clogs only
when the PTO and the engine have been switched off.
• Never stand in the slewing range of the tailgate and the foil wrapping arm or underneath the
tailgate when it is unlocked. During maintenance, assembly or repair work inside the bale
chamber or to the tailgate, always secure it against falling using the shut-off tap.
• Press stop-switch.
• Should dangerous situations arise, switch off the PTO immediately and bring the round
baler to a standstill.
• Never let the round baler run if no operating personnel are on the tractor.
• The round baler can be operated at a PTO speed of 540 r.p.m.
(special version 1000 r.p.m.).
• Risk of injury due to the cutting system cutter blades!
• When working on slopes, always deposit round bales in such a way that they do not move.
Should the bales start to move, they could cause serious accidents due to their weight and
cylindrical form.

Special Safety Instructions
Apart from the general safety instructions there are addi-
tional safety instructions that apply to the round baler
operation.

• The following instructions apply to all maintenance, assembly, repair and adjustment work:
Bring the machine to a standstill. Switch off the motor. Remove the ignition key. Secure the
tractor and round baler against rolling. Cut supply voltage to comfort controls.
• Maintain an adequate safety distance to all moving parts of the round baler during opera-
tion. This applies especially to the baling material pick-up equipment. Remove clogs only

4.1 Adjustments Before Starting

Work
Before starting work, adjust or check the following:

• working height of pick-up

• baffle plate position
• switch cutting system on or off
• cutting length of the cutting system
• select baling pressure (see Chapter 6)
• insert foil
• insert net
• function of the chain lubrication device
• reset bale counter

The required procedures are described in Chapter 5 (Basic

Settings and Operation).

If the cutting system is switched on during

baling, the bale density will increase
substantially. For this reason the baling
pressure may need to be reduced.

IV - 1
 Use
Short, crumbly straw:
• reduce the number of cutter blades or switch cutting 3
system off or remove blades. The blades (1) can be
pushed up under the front protective cover onto the
bolts (3) and secured with the spring pin (2).
• switch off the PTO shaft when preparing to turn. 2
1
Small, flat swaths:
• reduce PTO speed
or
• increase forward speed.

Straw varies greatly in structure. Even if no cutting

system is used, it is not always possible to work at the KR208250
highest possible pressure. Adapt the round baler
setting to prevailing conditions.

4.2 Forward Speed and PTO Speed

The forward speed during use depends on the following
factors:
– type of baling material
– moisture content of the baling material
– height of swaths
– ground conditions

• Match forward speed to prevailing conditions.

• Do not overload the round baler.
• Maintain a forward speed between 5 - 12 km/h.
• When baling a round bale, reduce speed at the start
and finish of the baling process.

4.3 Filling the Bale Chamber

To attain a consistent bale density within a round bale, the
bale chamber should be filled evenly. Here the swath width
is an important factor.

The swath width is optimal if the swath has exactly the

same width as the bale chamber.

If the swath is wider than this, distortion of the round bales

may result. The round bale will be frayed on the sides and
difficult to eject from the bale chamber.

If the swath is narrow, the bale chamber can be filled

evenly only by driving onto the swath from alternate sides
(left/right). Do not zigzag: drive long distances on the left
and right side of the swath as shown in the illustration. Too
frequent changes and uneven filling of the bale chamber
will produce barrel-shaped round bales and uneven bale
density.

The current baling pressure is shown on the baling

pressure indicator on the right side of the machine and on
the control box display of the comfort controls.

KR-1-017

IV - 2
 Use
Barrel-shaped round bales can cause damage
to the floor conveyor. Distorted and thick
round bales are detrimental to proper silage
production.

The binding process should be started at the

latest when the density indicators reach the
red range (the buzzer sounds if the comfort
control equipment is fitted).

To prevent overload on the round baler when

handling certain types of crop (e.g. wet silage),
the binding process should already be started
at an earlier point. Permanent overload can
drastically reduce the service life of the round
baler.

4.4 Bale binding, wrapping and

ejecting
• Start binding or wrapping process (see Chapter
Operation), continue baling material pick-up until
binding or wrapping material is conveyed to the
baling chamber by the baling material and seized
by the round blades, always maintaining a nominal
speed of 540 1/min until the binding process has
finished.
• Stop the tractor and wait until the binding or wrapping
process has finished.
• Convey the round bales to the wrapping mechanism
• After the bale chamber is shut again, start the next
baling process.
• The round bale is wrapped in foil on the swing table
during the baling process.
• As soon as the next binding process starts, the bale is
ejected from the swing table.
In automatic mode the bale is unloaded from the
wrapper after the next binding process has started. You
can also unload the bale outside the wrapping process
manually at any point in time (also in automatic mode).
• If the bale is unloaded during travel, check the foil as
there is a risk of damage to the foil depending on the
ground conditions.

 Comfort Controls

6 Comfort Controls
6.1 General Information
The comfort controls are used to monitor and control the
baling, binding and wrapping process.

The twine and net wrapping mechanisms, the bale

chamber lock, the blade zero switch and the wrapping
process are monitored using sensors.
The onboard computer (1) on the round baler centrally
registers the pulses coming from the sensors, processes
them and sends them on to the comfort controls.

Two separate counters for recording the number of

pressed round bales are built into the comfort controls.

The baling, binding and wrapping process is performed

automatically and/or by manual activation, depending on
the presetting on the comfort controls.
In automatic mode the binding process is triggered after
the preset bale density has been reached. You can start
the binding process at any point in time (also in automatic
mode) by activating it manually.
In automatic mode the bale is transferrd from the baler to
the wrapper after the binding process has finished,
provided the wrapper swing table is clear. Manually
activating the transfer is subject to the same conditions.
If the bale transfer has been completed and the bale
chamber is closed again, the wrapping process is started
automatically with the relevant presetting. It is also
possible to control the entire wrapping process via the
control box (2) though.
In automatic mode the bale is unloaded from the wrapper
after the next binding process has started. You can also
unload the bale outside the wrapping process manually
at any point in time (also in automatic mode).

The comfort controls are equipped with a position

indicator for the wrapping process which is used to
monitor and locate malfunctions on the wrapper. The
position indicator tells you where the program was
stopped, e.g. due to a sensor malfunction.

Special Safety Instructions

• Risk of injury!
When doing any assembly work on the round baler, always disconnect the voltage feed
to the comfort controls.
• Repair work on the hydraulic system should be carried out by trained personnel only!

When doing welding work on the round

baler or tractor with attached round baler,
overvoltage could cause damage to the
electronic components of the comfort
controls. For this reason, detach the
controls from the tractor and disconnect
the cable connections.

7.5 Hydraulic System

7.5.1 Special Safety Instructions

• Depressurize the hydraulic system before doing any work on the hydraulics.
Hydraulic fluids escaping at high pressure can cause serious injuries.
Seek medical help immediately should injuries occur.
• Work on the hydraulic system, especially on the accumulators, should be done by
specially trained personnel only!
• Fill accumulators with the specified gas only.

7.5.2 General Information

The round baler hydraulic system is supplied with pres-

sure via hoses by the tractor or via the on-board hy-
draulics. Of the various components, the shut-off tap (1)
on the left hydraulic cylinder deserves special mention.
It is designed as a safety device to prevent the tailgate
from shutting unintentionally.

Position “a” The hydraulic cylinder return is blocked.

The tailgate cannot shut. When working
inside the bale chamber and on the
tailgate when it is open, always set the
shut-off tap in position “a”.
Position “b” The hydraulic cylinder return is open.
The tailgate can be shut. Always make
certain to return the shut-off tap to
position “b” after finishing work inside
the bale chamber or on the tailgate so
that the tailgate can shut.

Replacement of hydraulic lines

Hydraulic lines are today an essential
factor for the safety of every machine.
Pressure, heat and and UV rays will
change the characteristics of the lines
over the years. On most hydraulic hoses
you will find the date of manufacture, so
you can determine their age with no
problem at all. It is recommended and in
some countries even prescribed by law to
replace the hydraulic lines every six
years.

e.g. each year before the season begins. It is possible to 1 2
remove the filter element without having to detach the
piping air filter from the line by pressing the cover and
loosening the hook snap ring.
CP102200

7.8.3 Compressed Air Reservoir

The compressed air reservoir (1) stores the compressed

air delivered by the compressor. During operation, 1
condensate may collect inside the compressed air
reservoir. The water drain valve (2) on the bottom of the
compressed air reservoir should be actuated every day
during the winter, otherwise weekly or after 20 hours of
operation. Damaged reservoirs should be replaced.

Check:
Drain any water present from the compressed air reservoir
(1). Check the water drain valve (2) for leaks.
2
CP102170

7.8.4 Drain Valve (Manually Operated)

Use:
The drain valve is installed to evacuate air and water from
the compressed air reservoir.

Maintenance:
The drain valve should be actuated every day during the
winter, otherwise weekly or after 20 operating hours. If the
drain valve leaks as the result of dirt buildup, unscrew it
from the compressed air reservoir and clean it or replace
with a new valve.

Special Safety Instructions

• The following general rules apply to all maintenance, assembly, repair and adjustment work:
Bring the machine to a standstill. Switch off the motor. Remove ignition key. Secure tractor
and round baler against rolling. Cut supply voltage to comfort controls.
• If the tailgate is open, secure it at the shut-off tap to prevent it from falling.
• After completing maintenance work reattach all protective plates and protective devices
properly.
• Avoid skin contact with oil, grease, cleaning agents and solvents.
• In case of injuries or burns caused by oils, cleaning agents or solvents, seek immediate
medical attention.
• Follow all further safety instructions to avoid accidents and injuries.

8.1 General Information

Clean the round baler thoroughly inside and outside before putting it in winter storage. If a high-pressure cleaner is
used, do not aim the water jet directly at the bearing points or on-board computer. Grease all lubricating points after
cleaning. Do not wipe away any grease which oozes out of the bearings. This grease ring provides additional
protection against moisture.

Remove the drive chains and wash them in petroleum (do not use any other solvent). At the same time, check for
wear to the chains and chain wheels. Lubricate the chains after cleaning, attach and tighten.

Check that all moving parts (such as deflection rollers, joints, tension rollers, etc.) move easily. If necessary,
remove, clean and remount after regreasing. Replace with new parts if necessary. Only use original KRONE spare
parts.

Take apart the cardan shaft. Grease the inner tubes and protecting tubes. Apply grease to the lubrication nipple on
the universal joint and to the bearing rings on the protecting tubes.

Park the round baler in a dry place away from artificial fertilisers or animal stalls.

Touch up damaged paintwork, thoroughly coat unpainted parts with anti-corrosion agent.

Use only a suitable vehicle jack to jack up the round baler. Make sure that the machine is in a
secure position when jacked up.

Jack up the round baler to prevent damage to the tyres (tyre damage may occur when the round baler is left standing
in the same position for extended periods). Protect the tyres against outside influences such as oil, grease, direct
sunshine etc.

Complete the required repair work immediately following the harvest season. Prepare a list of all required spare parts.
This makes it easier for your KRONE dealer to process orders and you can be certain that your machine will be
available for use in top condition at the start of the next season.

B1 Integrated Diagnostic Pro-

gram – Comfort Controls

B1.1 General Information

The integrated diagnostic program is an integral part of the
comfort controls.
The diagnostic program enables you to check the electri-
cally and electronically operated components on the
round baler and their power supply. You can also modify
the factory-preset basic settings.

This technical documentation describes the technical

data of the time when it was drawn up. Subject to tech-
nical alterations. When allocating the plug and cable
designations please always observe the current indication
in the comfort control display.

If errors should occur in the processing

sequence, always check whether there have
been any operating errors first. Observe the
operating manual!

If it is possible to localize an error on the

machine and if according to visual exami-
nation the error correction does not seem
easy, please contact your service partner!

Do not carry out any technical modifica-

tions on the machine. This may cause
damage to the machine or safety equip-
ment!
