4.1 Adjustments Before Starting

Work
Before starting work, complete or check the following:
• pick-up working height

• baffle plate position
• switch cutting system (special equipment) on or off
• cutting length of the cutting system (special equipment)
• use of the straw trap
• preselect baling pressure (for comfort controls refer to
Chapter 7)
• select twine or net wrapping
• insert twine or net
• function of the chain lubrication device
• initialize 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 3
switchoff the cutting system or remove blades
• switch off the PTO when preparing to turn
Small, flat windrows: 2

• reduce PTO speed
1
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
highest possible pressure.
Adapt the round baler setting to prevailing conditions. KR208250
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 windrows
– 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 inside a round bale, the
bale chamber should be filled evenly. The swath width is an
important factor here.
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 displayed by the baling

pressure indicator on the right side of the machine or on
the monitor if comfort controls are used.
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. Per-
manent overload can drastically reduce the
service life of the round baler.
4.4 Wrapping and Depositing Bales

• Start twine or net wrapping process (see the
Operation chapter), continue pick-up of baling
material until the twine or net wrapping material
enters the bale chamber and collected by the
round bale, maintain the nominal speed of 540
rpm when doing this, until the wrapping process is
complete.
• Stop the tractor and wait until the twine or net wrapping
process is complete.
• Eject round bales by opening the bale chamber.
• Close the bale chamber and start the next baling
process simultaneously.

4.6 Rotor reversing device
The rotor reversing device is located on the left hand

machine side behind the front guard. This device permits
the rotor to be reversed hydraulically to clear a blockage.
For this proceed as follows:

• Switch off the power take-off (Move the PTO speed
adjusting lever of the tractor to neutral).
• Open the shut-off tap located on the hydraulic hose of
the control valve.
• Give pressure on the hydraulic ram by operating the
control valve to reverse the cutting rotor. Then set the
control valve to LOWERING to permit ratchet (1) to be
pulled back.
• Repeat this procedure approx. 4 to 5 times. The rotor
will be reversed by abt. ¼ turn.
• Back up the round baler and remove the obstruction.
Use protective gloves to clear the blockage.
Set the control valve again to LOWERING

to permit ratchet (1) to be released from
notched disc (2).
• Close the shut-off tap again.

• Switch on the power take-off and continue to work with 2
the baler.

5.3 Cutting System (MultiCut)

5.3.1 Special Safety Instructions
• Risk of injury when attaching or removing the blades. Always wear suitable gloves when
handling the blades.
• When working inside the bale chamber, make sure to secure the open tailgate at the shut-off
tap to prevent it from falling.

The cutting system consists basically of a blade rotor and
17 blades. Cutting helps to improve further processing of
the round bale and increase bale density.
Should clogging occur, the blades can be slewed out of the
feed channel hydraulically.
The blade safety mechanism prevents the blades from
being damaged by foreign objects.
It is also possible to switch off the cutting system
mechanically.
5.3.3 Adjusting Cutting Length

The cutting length is determined by the number of blades

Each time the drive shaft makes a rotation, oil is forced 2

out of the tank (1) via the pump (2) and the lubrication
strips attached to the left and right of the machine, and
onto the brushes on the drive chains. 3
The delivery rate can be adjusted by means of the
eccentric (3) on the drive roller. RBV05150
Different nozzles are built into the lubrication strips for

each lubrication point. A pressure gauge (1) which
displays system pressure is installed on the right-hand
side of the machine. This pressure increases or de-
creases according to the setting of the eccentric disk.
• Depending on consumption, check the oil supply in

the container and top off if necessary. 1
It must absolutely be ensured that no
water or dust can enter the tank.
If the lubricant container is empty, the central chain

RBR05160
lubrication device needs to be bled:
• Fill the reservoir with oil.

• Remove the container hose (4) from the pump and wait
until oil emerges.
• Mount the hose on the pump again.
• Open the venting screw (3) and actuate the pump
manually until oil is flowing out of the valve block
without any bubbles.

to the control unit.
• When assembling the control unit make certain that the connecting cables to the round
baler do not tense during turning or come into contact with the tractor wheels.
When doing welding work on the round baler or tractor with attached round baler,
overvoltage could cause damage to the electronic components of these controls. For
this reason, detach the controls from the tractor and disconnect the cable connections.

7.2 Preparing for Use

Attach the control unit on the tractor in a place where it is
clearly visible to the driver.
Connect the power supply (12V).
Check for correct polarity!
Switch on the control unit using the ON/OFF

switch (1).
5
The indicator lights (5) should light up and the motor
should run in basic setting.
If this is not the case:
1. Check the power supply.

2. Check the setting on the baling pressure gauge
(set to the 0 position).

7.3.2 Baling Pressure Gauge
5
Adjustment is done on the machine (Chapter 5.4 Adjusting
Baling Pressure).
The desired baling pressure has been reached:
• Is indicated by the indicator on the machine.

• Indicator lamps (5) go out and the horn (4) sounds.

RP600009
7.3.3 Actuating the Wrapping (Manual Opera-
tion)
As soon as the bale has reached the pre-selected baling 5
pressure shown on the pre-selected pressure gauge, a
horn signal sounds and the two indicator lamps (5) are
extinguished. The bale can then be wrapped.
• Operate switch (7) and keep it pressed until the

binding material (net or twine) is caught and fed by the
rotating bale.
• The twine wrapping or wrapping process runs
automatically.
Following the end of the twine or net wrapping process
7
open the tailgate using the second control valve on the
1 RP600010
tractor.
• Eject the bale.
7.3.4 Actuating the Wrapping (Automatic

Mode) 5
To activate the automatic mode proceed as follows:
• Activate switch (7) and keep it pressed. Switch on the

control unit using switch (1). A short beep will sound.
• Once the control unit is switched on, keep switch (7)

pressed for abt. 2 seconds (this will determine the
duration of the extension stroke of the linear motor - in
this case 2 seconds). Release switch (7) (another beep 7
will sound). In addition to the manual mode, the system 1 RP600010
will now work in the automatic mode, too.
As the net is not stretched during the
starting phase, starting time
should be chosen as short as possible.
That means that the binding process will automatically be
started if the preset bale density is reached (the linear
motor runs out).
Switching off the control unit (switch 1) will cause the

automatic mode to be deactivated.
The binding process can at any time be

started manually.

8 Control unit comfort

The control unit comfort are used to monitor and control
the baling process.
The twine and net wrapping mechanisms, the bale

chamber lock and the electric starter are monitored using
sensors.
The binding or wrapping process is started automatically

by the comfort controls or manually when the preset bale
size has been reached.
In addition, two counters are built into the control unit

comfort to measure the pressed round bales.
The pulses measured by the sensors are centrally routed

to the control unit comfort via the onboard computer (1) on
the round baler.
In this same manner, the control pulses are routed 1

via the onboard computer (1).

• Risk of injury!
When doing any assembly work on the round baler, always disconnect the voltage feed
to the control unit comfort.
When doing welding work on the round

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

• 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.

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. 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 if necessary. Use original KRONE spare parts only.
Take apart the PTO 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.
