Always first stop the p.t-o- shaft and pull the universal shaft off the p.t.c. shaft before work is carried out on moving parts of the machine. When driving on public roads, the universal shaft must always be fitted on the tractor p.t.o. shaft. Never try to pull hay or straw out of the pick-up unit or the feed opening while the machine ia running. Always stop the p.t.o. shaft first. While work is in progress, only the driver should be on the tractor. Passengers are not allowed on the baler. Do not climb on the drawbar or other parts of the baler when the latter is in operation. Also keep your distance from the pick-up unit and the belts. All protec- tive guards must be mounted on the baler and in sound condition. Before opening the guards etc. stop the p.t.o. shaft and the tractor engine, and wait until the machine has stopped. Adjustments to the drawbar must only be carried out by a competent engineering work- shop- When opening and closing the tailgate, no persons must be present within the opening range. In addition, persons are not allowed to be present within the area of the opened and unsecured tailgate. Before entering the bale chamber, engage the tailgate support in the safety position. Before starting installation or assembly work on the hydraulic system, release the oil pressure. Close the tailgate before stopping the machine. Pull the fixing chain of the universal shaft through the universal joint, to prevent the front part of the universal shaft from slip- ping out. Chock the road wheels of the baler with chocks when the baler is parked on sloping ground. Always carry chocks with you on the baler. Permissible use of the baler The roll baler has been built exclusively for ordinary use in agri- cultural work (permissible use). Any other use is regarded as not permissible. The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for damage arising from impermissible use; any risk is borne entirely by the user. Permissible use also includes the observation of the operating- servicing- and maintenance conditions specified by the manufacturer. The attachment of implements ic not permitted, except at the points provided for thia by the works. The roll baler must only be used, serviced and maintained by persons who are familiar with this work and who have been informed about all possible dangers. The relevant accident prevention regulations as well as all other applicable regulations concerning safety, health hazards and road traffic must be observed. Alterations carried out by the user, and the inatalletion of unap- proved parts and attachments on the machine exclude liability on the part of the manufacturer for any damage caused as a result.TECHNICAL DATA RP 165 Bale size 0.90 - 1.65 m diameter 1.20 m width Bale weight straw up to 350 kg hey up to 500 kg Bale density variable by pressure adjustment; outside firmer then bale centre Twine a) sisal twine 200 or 300 n/kg b) plastic twine 400 - 600 n/kg ©) netting (sp) Tying @) twine optionally semi- or fully automatic b) netting (sp) semi-automatic (manual release possible at any tine for twine and netting) Pick-up working width approx. 1.50 = with wide pick-up (sp) approx. 2.00 » Pick-up lifting device hydraulic Tyres standard tyres 11.5/80 - 15.3 Impi. 6 PR = 2.0 bar special tyres 15.0/55 - 17.0 Impl. 8 PR = 1.5 bar Hydraulic equipment 2 double-acting cylinders (bean) 2 single-acting cylinders (tailgate) 2 single-acting cylinders (pick-up?

To do this, the draubar of the baler can be adjusted to the hitching height of the tractor. This adjustment must however only be carried out by a competent engineering workshop. The dravbar is set by adjusting the tie rods: align the baler with the parking stand so that the joint of the lateral guard lies horizontal. Then slacken the drawber fixing bolts 1 (fig. 1) on the baler on both sides, slacken locknuts 2 of the tie roda 3 on both sides and ad- just the drawbar with the tie rods even- ly on both sides, until the matching hitch height has been reached. After this adjustment, firmly tighten all fix- ing bolts and nuts. Agter hitching the baler, acrew in the jack with the hand crank until sufficient ground clearance is obtained. The drawber eye 4 ie set into the horizontal position according to the setting of the drawbar (fig. 2). Fitting the universal shag: Clean p.t-o. shaft splines on the baler and the tractor. Pull back QS-quick-lock sleeve until it stops in the opened position. Push universal shaft onto p.t.o. shaft until QS lock engages auto- matically. Fit the cam-type cut out clutch to the machine. To do this, turn the locking ring on the QC clamping wedge lock in the direction of the arrow. Push universal shaft onto p.t.o. shaft. Release locking ring, which muat return to its initial position (mark- ing). Push and pull to check that the balla have engaged in the annular groo- ve. The hex. bolt must be situated exactly above the clamping wedge (mark- ing). Firmly tighten the hex. bolt. Pay attention to the maximum operating length LB! (see fig. 2 2). The PTO shaft should only be run during operation with @ sliding profile overlap Pu of half the distance of the closed shaft length LZ. Fig. 2If necessary shorten shaft. Mark the two half shafte side by side and cut equal length from outer and inner tubes, to have in shortest operating position 40 mm sliding possibility. Check before each operation if the locking device is snapped into position on both sides. IMPORTANT: When negotiating sharp bends, make sure that the angle produced on the wide-angle joint (tractor-side) is not more acute than permitted by the univer- sal shaft manufacturer. Observe the operating instructions of the universal sheft manufacturer as well as the stick- ers for type approval in various coun- tries for universal shaft protection. Connecting hydraulic lines The baler has four hydreulic connections with quick release couplings. Through the hoses (yellow/red) the belts are tightened or slackened via the tension- ing arms and the tailgate is opened or closed. The connection with a ball vaive is used for raising and lowering the pick-up, With the ball valve the pick-up ig hydraulically interlocked in the transport position (see page 8 “before taking the machine on the road"). The connection (black) is a free return to the tractor. On the tractor side, a double-acting connection, 4 single- acting connection with quick release coupling (10 mm nom. dia.) as well as a free return are necessary. Electrical connections Plug the plug of the connecting lead for indicators, brake and tail lights into the sockets on the baler and the trac- tor. Check lighting system for correct operation.Connecting control box for tying unit Instell bracket for control box in trac- tor cabin and plug in contrel box. Con- nect plug of the connecting lead on the tractor. The control box S (fig. 3) has 2 illuminated pushbuttons (green/red), one buzzer and one selecting switch. The green illuminated pushbutton indicates the correct polarity and voltage on the machine and is used for engaging the net wrapping. The buzzer and the red illumi- nated pushbutton display the signal for engaging the wrapping. When the select- ing switch is set to "automatic", auto- matic twine wrapping takes place after the pre-selected density hae been reached. At the “manual” setting, either twine wrapping (red pushbutton) or net wrapping (green pushbutton) can be en- gaged at any tine. For net wrapping, the green pushbutton must then be held down until the net is gripped by the bale (indicated by the rotation of the netting spool). In the case of net wrapping, care must be taken that the selecting switch is in the “ma- nual" position, so that unwanted twine entry is prevented. During maintenance and removal of block- inge in the bale chamber with open tail- gate the selecting awitch must be set at “manual position to avoid unintentional twine entry. TWINE WRAPPING Inserting twine spools /\ Insert and thread in new twine spools only while the machine is at rest. Use baling twine of good quality. Observe technical data on page 2. If the bales are etored in the open, plastic twine should be used, Place four twine spools upright into the twine box (fig. 4). If spools are put in the wrong way round, the twine tends to form loops and to break. Pull twine end of spool A from above out of the wrapping and knot to the front twine end of spool B (simple reef knot). Tie spool B to C and C to D in the same way. Always pull front end of twine through the twine guide situ- ated above the twine spool. @ Fin. 3Threading the twine Before threading the twine, move the wrapping carriage 1 (fig. 5), by turning the stepped pulley 2 (fig. 6), into the baler centre (initial position). As seen in the direction of travel, the wrapping carriage 1 must move to the right. When threading the twine, note figs. 4, 5 and 6. Thread front end of twine of spool A through the upper guide in the twine box, through the twine box side wall and the twine tensioner 3. Adjust the twine tensioner 3 to a low setting (fig. 4). Continue to thread the twine through the fixed twine guides over the deflecting roller 10 (fig. 20), the stepped pulley 2 (1% turns) (fig. 6) and the twine guides through the (in the fig.) right~ hand side wall to the twine thrower 5. Open twine thrower 5 with lever 6 (fig. 7) and feed the twine between the rol~ lers until it hangs out freely by about 10 - 15 cm in the direction of the roll chamber. Please note: The wrapping distance of the twine around the finished round bale can be preselected and is determined by the run of the twine around the stepped pulley 2 (ig. 6) and the bale diameter. A large pulley diameter results in snal- ler wrapping distance; a smaller pulley diameter produces greater twine distance around the round bale. Bales with a larger diameter have great- er twine distance for the same pulley diameter than bales with a smaller dia- meter. IMPORTANT: After threading up, do not turn the stepped pulley 2 (fig. 6), since the tying process would then be engaged prematurely. While the machine is running, never feed in any twine by hand! Switch off the drive before placing the twine onto the stepped tying pulley! NET WRAPPING Inserting the net roll Pull net roll holder (on the left in the illustration) out of ite support by the handle and insert into the cardboard core of the net roll. Push net roll onto net roll holder (on the right in the il- lustration) and push lefthand net roll holder into the support.Clamp net roll by tightening the hand- wheel 7 (fig. 8). Push down net tension- er 8, unwind net from the net roll 9 and insert into the shaft over the net ten- sioner 8, The net must reach down to the two rollers 10 and 11 (fig. 9), so that it can be drawn in reliably. After the net tensioner 8 has been released, it must only be possible to turn the net roll by hand with difficulty. Hook the tension spring 12 of the net tensioner 8 into the second chain link from the spring side. The net wrapping unit is always ten- sioned only by opening the tailgate. If, when the bale chamber is full, a net roll change or a fault makes it neces- sary to engage the net release again without opening the tailgate, tension- ing can be carried out by hand by means of the lever 13 (fig. 8). To do this, pull the lever 13 forward up to the stop. Engaging then takes place as be- fore by briefly pressing the green push- button. If faults occur on the net wrapping unit, the latter can be easily pulled sideways out of the machine (fig. 9). For installation see section “Adjust- ment", page 8, fig. 11. At the rear of the net wrapping unit additional space is provided for a second net roll. After opening the front panel (on the left in the illustration), @ reserve net roll R (fig. 9) can be pushed into this space. Selecting number of wrappings of net With the setting plate 14 (fig. 10) the number of net wraps around the round bale can be set with stepless variabili- ty. Adjust setting plate 14 after slackening the wing nut 15 (fig. 10) so that at least 2 wraps around the bale are obtained. The scale provided next to the setting plate 14 facilitates set- ting. Adjust the top edge of the setting plate according to the scale.Fig. 14 Adjustment Normally, no special setting and main- tenance operations are necessary on the net wrapping unit. If, however, the net is not completely cut off after wrapping, the parallelism between anvil and blade must be checked and reset if necessary. To do this, slacken the three bolts 16 (fig. 11), take off V-belt, detach electrical con- nection 17 and remove crank drive 18 and connecting rod 19 to the blade, pull out stepped pulley and complete net wrapping unit from the machine. Slacken the then exposed four bolts of the anvil, re-establish parallelism bet- ween blade and anvil and retighten bolts The blade cen be reset three times. The anvil can be turned once. The cutting surfaces must then be cleaned to remove any paint residue. Setting bale diameter The bale diameter can be infinitely set from 0.90 to 1.65 n. To do this, adjust limit switch 1 (fig. 12) on the rocker arm - in the photograph at the right be- hind the protective panelling of the tailgate. Adjustment of the limit switch 1 in slot upwards produces larger bale diameters, adjustment downwards produces smaller bale diameters. Setting the bele counter To monitor the number of bales produced, the bale counter 2 must be set to zero with the key provided before work com- mences (fig. 13). The key is situated on the right-hand side behind the central protective panel. Presetting bale density The required bale density can be set with the relief valve 4 (fig. 14) ina wide range. The pressure is shown on the pressure gauge 5 (fig. 15) and is rang- ing on the color chart from “white” to the end “red”.Before taking the baler on the road Raise pick-up unit with the tractor hydraulics into the highest position (transport position). Close ball valve on the hydraulic hose. The pick-up unit is now hydraulically interlocked and remains in the transport position. FIELD OPERATION aN The roll baler is safeguarded to a great extent against foreseeable accidents. Despite this, necessary caution must not be neglected while working with the machine. Check each time before commencing work that all the guards are attached to the machine and that they are sound. Never correct malfunctions while the drive is running. Be particularly careful when opening and closing the tailgate! No persons must be present within the operating range of the tailgate. Before entering the bale chamber, attach the tailgate support. Making windrows If windrows are made evenly up to 1.5 m width the machine will operate effi- ciently and with high output. Setting the pick-up height/pick-up quide wheel The pick-up is raised and lowered hy- draulically via the tractor control unit. Depending on the required ground clearance, set the pick-up guide wheel 6 (fig. 16) higher or lower. Normally, set it eo that the tines of the pick-up have 2 cm ground clearance in the working po- sition. (Measurement E in fig. 17). Bring the pick-up to the correct height, then support it. Remove pin 7. Set pick- up guide wheel 6 (fig. 16) according to fig. 17 and re-fit pin 7. The wide pick- up supplied as optional equipment has 2 support wheels as standard equipment. Do not remove clogged material from the ba- ler by raising the pick-up with the hy- draulic system. Observe the trouble- shooting table.10-20m | 10-20m i richtig fatsch | correct wrong 3 correct incorrect = ie Fig. 19 Fig. 19 & 10 P.t.o. speed Run the baler with the normal p.t.o. speed of 540 rpm. For extremely short and brittle crops a lower p.t.o. speed can be safely used. Negotiating sharp bends When driving through sharp bends, make sure that the deflection of the wide- angle pivot joint (tractor-side) does not exceed 80°, Otherwise there is 4 danger of fracture both in the driven and in the rest position. Driving technique To achieve high output rates and well shaped bales, the bale chamber must be fed evenly over the entire width of the machine by competent driving. With a narrow windrow - i.e. windrow width is less than pick-up width - uniform £il- ling of the bale chamber is achieved by alternately driving along the right-hand and the left-hand side of the windrow (fig. 18). Locking the teilgate Before asterting to pick up crop and after each bele ejection the tailgate must be correctly locked. To do this, hold the double-acing control valve for tailgate actuation at "lower" until the pressure set on the safety valve is shown on the pressure gauge 5 (fig. 15) and the two tailgate locking indicators 8 (fig. 19) above the side panelling be- come visible. With the tailgate open but not yet correctly locked, the indicators @ are withdrawn and not visible. Bele size indicator The indicator (fig. 19 @) is showing during baling the respective bale dia- meter continuously. The indicator is moving hereby from in driving direction right = min. diameter to indriving di- rection left = max. diameter.Bale density. The bale density of the round bale de- pends on the crop and the compression pressure. It can be varied over a wide range (25 to 150 bar) and is preset on the machine with the relief valve 4 (fig. 14). The low (white) and the cen- tre (green) pressure range are for hay the top (yellow) and the highest (red) preseure range are for straw. To do this, hold tractor control valve for the tailgate to “lower” while the tractor is running, until the pressure gauge 5 (fig. 15) on the machine shows the pre- set pressure at the relief valve 4 (fig. 14). If the pressure is to be increased slacken locknut 9 on the relief valve 4 (#ig. 14) and turn the screw in a little with the star knob. Check newly set pressure on the pressure gauge by again setting the control valve to “lower”; repeat this process if necessary, until the desired pressure has been reached. Retighten the locknut. To reduce the compression pressure, unscrew the star knob screw on the relief valve correspondingly. The pressure can then be read at any time on the pressure gauge. Wrapping the bale When the preset bale diameter has been reached (see page 8), this fact is sig- nalled to the tractor driver visually and audibly on the control box via the limit switch 1 (fig. 12). Depending on the position of the selecting switch of the control box S (fig. 3), wrapping of (twine/net) is engaged via the pushbut- ton or automatically. When the twine has been drawn in - this is shown by the ro- tating guide roller 10 (fig. 20) in the (in driving direction) right-hand front shield - the tractor driver stops for- ward travel. Allow the baler to continue running without feeding in further crop. Wrapping takes place automatically. In the case of net wrapping, atop forward travel and allow net to enter together with the last crop on the pick-up. When the guide roller 10 or the net roller stops, the wrapping process is completed and the new starting position reached. Wrapping of the bale can, however, not only be engaged after the preset bale diameter has been reached, but at any time by pressing the pushbuttons on the control box. 1212 Fig. 2 Setting the end wrappings The range spacers 11 (fig. 21) can be reset on both sides to guide the twine at the ends of the bale. If the crop ie very dry and the bale ende are insuffi- ciently filled, the range spacers i1 must be reset further inwards, to pre- vent the twine from slipping off. Raise range spacers 11 by hand and then reset sideways. Six different rest positions are possible for each spacer. Ejecting the bale At the end of the tying process open the tailgate hydraulicelly with the p.t.o. switched on, so that the bale rolls out. Before closing the tailgate, drive for- ward a little, so that the latter does not come in contect with the ejected bale when lowered. Hold tractor control valve in “lower” until the tailgate is completely closed, the preset pressure is shown on the pressure gauge 5 (fig. 15) and the indicators 8 (fig. 19) are visible. The next bale can now be formed. When working or hilly ground, eject the bale transversely to the slope, so that it cannot roll downhill. Be par- ticularly careful when opening and clos- ing the tailgate. No persons must be present in the opening range of the tailgate. Overload protection The RP 165 is equipped with an automati- cally operating cam type cut out clutch. This interrupts the torque in the case of overloading. At reduced p.t.c. speed or with the p.t.o. stopped, the torque builds up again, so that the machine can be started again immediately. Avoid long and frequent overloading.Servicing the baler Av Never carry out adjustments, re- pairs and servicing work while the machine is running. Stop tractor and wait for standstill of baler. Shut off PTO drive and remove universal drive shaft from the PTO shaft before carrying out work on moving parts of the machine. Use tailgate supports before entering baling chamber. Be careful when opening and closing tailgate! Nobody should stay within reach of the tailgate. Retightening screws and bolts Retighten all nuts and bolts after about 20 hours of operation. Checking road wheels Check tightness of wheel nuts and wheel caps. Maintain correct tyre pressure. Standard tyres: 11.5/80 - 15.3 Impl. 6 PR = 2.0 bar Special tyres: 15.0/55 - 17 Impl. 8 PR = 1.5 bar Lubricating roller cheins All roller chains of the baler must be regularly lubricated. This is done by the automatic central lubrication sys- tem. Check the oil level in the storage tank 1 (fig. 22) daily and top up if necessary with chain oil. The oil reser- ve tank 1 is accessible after the cen- tral protective door on the left-hand machine eide has been opened. Lubricating the universal shaft Lubricate the universal shaft regularly. Clean the grease nipples before apply- ing the grease gun. The lubricating points should be served at the intervals specified by the universal shaft manu- facturer. Before any lengthy shut-down, clean and re-lubricate the universal shaft. 1314 Changing the gear oil After about 20 hours of operation the oil in the gearbox 2 (fig. 23) must be changed: unscrew the oil filter plug 3 with breather. Take out ofl drain plug 4 and drain old oil into a container. Re- move sealing plug 5 from the level check hole. Clean oil drain plug 4, put it back in and tighten firmly. Fill in ap- prox. 1 % litres SAE 90 gear oil, until it escapes from the check hole. Firmly screw pluga back into the oil check- and filling holes. Check oil level regularly. Change the oil again at the end of each season. Belt alignment A The belts of the RP 165 must be aligned that the belts run axial on the rollers. To do this the beler must be parked on level ground, run the baler with low r.p.m. and watch the belt alignment on the 3 segments in closed and tensioned position, Re-align the belt run in case if lateral dieplaced. Remove in driving direction bottom right hand guard in the region of the axle re- spectively tailgate to re-align the bot- tom and tailgate belts. Slacken the belts by hydraulic. Loosen fitting bolts 6 of the tension roller bearing (fig. 24). If belts are running to the left (in driving direction) adjust the ten- sion bolt 7 in direction "A" in case of running to the right adjust in direction “B". For the front segment the adjust- ment is more simple in driving direction left. After opening the centre guard loosen fitting bolts & (fig. 25) and ad- just tension rod 9 accordingly. Re-check belt alignment again through test run. If the adjusting bolts are already at the end of adjustment, alignment can be made for front and rear segment on the opposite side in contrary direction.Fig. 26 Fitting belts Release belt tension by hydraulic before fitting the belts. Join the belts with the special belt connecting plates. On the bottom belt segment the tension rol- ler has to be released. Loosen tension bolts on both sides (for bottom belts only on right hand side in driving di- rection) so far backwards until the ten- sion rollers, after loosening the fit- ting bolts 6 respectively & are against the stop. Retighten the fitting bolts. Fit belts. Join belts according to fig. 27. Fitting belt connectors The baling belt ends are held together by special plate connectors. To fit the plate connectors, hold the two belt ends together as in fig. 27. Place bottom plate 11 on to the running side A of the belt 12 (fig. 26). Preas special count- ersunk screws 13 through the holes, pla- ce top plate 14 on to the carrying side Bof the belt 12. Install special hex. nuts 15. Tightening torque = 1,6 daNm. Remove the projecting screw ends with a hanner. Finally fit cover plate 17 (fig. 26) with two bolts 18 to the top plate. Align belts according to the information on page 14. Maintenance of belts The baling belts do not require any spe- cial maintenance. Care for correct belt tension and check the belt joints occa- sional for possible damage. Remove accu- mulations of crop between the baling belts. 1s16 Repairing belts. Damaged belte can be repaired with ape- cial plate connectors. To do this the belts have to be cut off rectangular, cut suitable replacement peace of belt to length, punch holes into the belt and connect with the plate connectors (see page 15, fig. 26). Distance between con- nectore should be more than 600 mn. The different belt segments have the following length: Bottom belts 1950 + S mm Front segment 3990 + 5 nm Rear segment. 5630 + 5 mm Tightening roller chains The tension of the chains for the pick- up (fig. 28) and the belt drive (fig. 23) must be checked regularly and ad- justed if necessary. The chains for the main- and the upper belt drive are ela- sticelly tensioned by springs 6 (fig. 29). Adjust springs until they are flush with the measuring angle 7. The chain for the bottom belts is tensioned with a sprocket with tie rod. To do this, sle- cken sprocket 8 and reset with screw 9 (£ig.29). After that retighten sprocket. The chains for the pick-up and the feed roller are tensioned by chain tensioning blocks 10 (fig. 28). To adjust, slacken the blocks, reset in the slots and re- tighten. Safety equipment /j\ Keep indicating- and tail lights clean and do not allow them to be obscured by trailing crop. Check correct. functioning of the lighting system. Al- ways carry chocks. Two chocks are pro- vided in the twine box. If maintenance or aseembly operations are carried out with the tailgate open, it is essential, to prevent accidents, to secure the tailgate ao that it does not drop down. Use the cylindrical supports 11 (fig. 30) arranged at both machine sides for this purpose. On completion of the servicing and as- sembly operations move the supports 11 back into their initial position.Out of season storage Clean the baler to remove crop residue and dirt. Clean and regrease all roller chains. ing renge of the tailgate without Important! Do not enter the operat- AN first securing the tailgate. Repair or renew baling belts as required. Only use original Welger Spere Parts. Store the baler in a dry shed. 17TROUBLE-SHOOTING MADE EASY It ie not possible to provide accurate inatructions for all possible cases, due to the different operating conditions. Ground conditions, windrow thickness, condition of the crop, inexpert or insufficient care of the machine can all lead to difficulties. For difficult cases, with which you cannot cope yourself, your local WELGER dealer is at your disposal. Generally, however, you will be able to manage with the help of the table below. Before faults are corrected, stop the p.t.o. shaft and the A tractor engine and wait until all moving parts have stopped. Never try to correct faults - for example in the area of the feed opening - while the machine is running.

Net wrapping The advantages of net wrapping lie particulerly in the shorter tying time and therefore greater output, as well as a reduction of crumbl- ing losses. The closed surface makes the bales still more resistant to rein. Bale ejector There is no need with fitted bale ejector to reverse the baler for bale ejection. Pick-up short crop quide plate The pick-up short crop guide plate ensure trouble-free collection of short crops. Special tyres Inetead of the atendard tyres, special tyres 15.0/55-17.0 Impl. 8 PR are available for speciel purposes. The roll baler is an agricultural trailed appliances. Its operation does not require a licence in West Germany, but an electric lighting aystem must be fitted. This is already permanently installed on your WELGER Baler. When travelling on public roads and lanes, the light- ing regulations for trailed appliances must be observed. For this purpose the connecting cable supplied with each baler must be plugged into the sockets on the tractor and the machine. The correct functioning of the lighting system should be checked regularly. In addition, all indicating lamps, brake-, rear- and side lights as well as the reflecting rear and sidelights must be kept clean. Care must also be taken that the lighte ere not obscured by trailing crops. The maximum travel speed on public roads and lanes is 25 kph (15 mph). The two chocks, which form part of the safety equipment, must always be carried on the baler. 2000°9F'1¥'1Z60 jonuog Arjay wis (,, Wu! ¢'| 1D}aIgo9 U1 spoal Jo “ON G) saduorg yun 6uddosm 10} p07 anowoyny BUUDL} JOM} Jyowog 11 8 © - Hot prouayos © ® 1 8 ne @ , 2, Hook | oF = im pouajes: ang (#08) ¥ 01 ony yw J0}901 yun buiddoiy -jey —auimy —wosboig buuiyort-szz Miz Fe) 20,0507 jubn aS ERIE SE ~ (fF ie Ss ie ie |g fF = | . 35 es2e NiIG.LY 51 1 Boot tt apes elbadd! selyrrg! ! 3 pentane) LE LI a OG OT BIA (OG SO sany as ar way 3 TENS - —_ a0t PAY PRP Crass TaBy emg wor io @ — 350 OT wag IK SCs aT Wy IT WOH uoins mona! gor web Paro TOSSIPU UBT waa CLS 12 @ rae pss aig ae a eo} ao 75} Bs] mone TO BOT ROS, Spins wros0 Pog UTA] Doysoapyaiotaq Burning 6u4617 - woiboig Buri, 22NOTES 23NOTES 24
