Note!
The “Hand over Declaration” has to be filled out and send back.
Technical data:
All technical date, measurements and weights are for
informational usage only and are not binding.
On road driving:
Each country has own on road regulations. In case of
deviations between the manufacturer and country where the
machine is used, the country regulations are obliged.
The speed limit of the machine during road transport complies
with country regulations. The manufacturer speed limit may be
set higher.
Modification:
Any modifications that interfere with the country or manufacturer
regulations will cause a loss of general operating license and
type-approval.
Danger!
Description of type and source of the danger
Effect: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that,
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Warning!
Description of type and source of the danger
Effect: indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes
hazards that are exposed when guards are removed.
Caution!
Description of type and source of the danger
Effect: indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury or product or
property damage.
Note!
Description of type and source of the note
Indicates extra information that may be helpful.
Driving on hillsides
Only use the AP baler when you are experienced in baling
on hillsides.
Always use an adequate tractor for baling on hillsides.
After operation
Always park the AP baler on a flat stable ground.
Always use wheel chocks.
Fire Prevention
The harvested crop can easily ignite! To prevent fire:
Remove crop remains.
Ensure there are no oil leaks.
Overheating of machine parts can cause fires! To prevent
overheating of machine parts: observe the lubrication chart.
If any machine parts overheat: find and remove cause.
Keep the electrical systems of tractor and machine and the
exhaust system of the tractor in proper condition.
The existing wiring must not be used for any other
consumers than those installed in the factory or approved
by the manufacturer. Overloading the electrical lines leads
to excessive heating.
Do not smoke in the vicinity of the machine.
Noise protection
The noise level during normal field work is subject to variations
which depend on the one hand on the noise level of the tractor
and on the other hand on the deployment conditions of this
machine.
The generated noise level, measured at the head height of the
driver inside a tractor with cabins and closed window, under
normal operating conditions, is less than 70 dB (A). The
combined noise level of machine and tractor primarily depends
on the level of the noise from the tractor (radios are an
additional source of noise).
Ranges of action of the machine during operation Operator positions during operation
3 3
The Bale thrower P23 is hydraulically driven and has its own
independent hydraulic system.
The driving power is transmitted from fly wheel and V-belt drive
to the hydraulic pump.
A hydraulic oil tank is mounted on the baler, which supplies the
hydraulic pump and motor.
Figure 2
Guard casings
To open the guard casings on the AP baler, the hexagon head
of the catch is turned counter-clockwise with a 13 mm spanner
and the casing is removed from the machine (Figure 3).
To close the cover, the panel is pressed against the machine
until the catch can be heard to engage.
To open the guard casing of the flywheel, the catch springs on
the locking clasps are to be pushed back with a small screw-
driver or similar (Figure 4).

Uncoupling the baler from the tractor
Caution!
When coupling the hydraulic hoses depressurize the hydraulic
A
systems on the tractor and baler.
B
Max. operating pressure of the hydraulic system is 180 bar.
C
The height adjustment of the pick-up and the pivoting action of
the baler draw-bar can be controlled by means of the tractor
hydraulics.
Caution!
Effect: The first time you connect the Lely Welger AP baler to
each tractor, refer to the instructions supplied with the drive
3
shaft and always respect the drive shaft installation guidelines.
Wire A:
Through wire guide tube 1, round guide roller 2, between track
rollers 3, over needle head 4 to wire hook 5. Carefully tie end of
wire A to hook 5.
Wire B:
Through wire guide tube 6, over guide roller 2, round guide
roller 7, between track rollers 8, over needle head 9 to wire
hook 10. Carefully tie end of wire B to hook 10.

Insert twine
Turn the flywheel by hand in the normal running direction
2 until the needles and the tying mechanism are in the home
position (needle in lowest position).
Secure knotter release with safety bolt 1 (Figure 10)
3 Use baling twine of good quality. (Chapter 5.5, page 83)
Place the twine rolls upright in the twine box. The beginning
1 and end of the twine should be at the top.

Note!
Guide the twine over the roller (Figure 13).

Caution!
A variation of this shutdown procedure may be used if so
instructed within this manual or the tractor manual, or if an
emergency requires it.
Attention!
The machine may only be operated by persons who are familiar
with the operating instructions and the safety instructions.
Furthermore:
Never remove any malfunctions while the drive is running.
Never remove any crop material from the machine while the
drive is running.
During operation:
Make sure there are no people in the danger zone during
operation. This is especially important when working near or in
areas that are accessible to the public. Respect sufficient
distance to the machine (pick-up, running gear, bale unloading
area).
As a matter of principle:
Never sit or stand on or in the Lely AP baler or thrower P23.
Riding on the machine is prohibited for the entire machine!
Keep children away from the machine!
Nobody must stay between tractor and machine!
Never operate the machine with defective or removed
protective devices (e.g. casing sheets and distance brackets)!

Pick-up support wheel
The baler can be fitted with an adjustable pick-up support wheel
to ensure that the pick-up remains at the correct distance from
the ground even on uneven fields.
1 Adjust the support wheel higher or lower in one of the three
specified holes. The clearance between tines and ground
should be 2 cm when the pick-up is lowered (Figure 21).

Note!
Continuous deflection increases wear in the drive of the
machine. It is advisable to drive the tractor slower.
