Safety
The conveyor feed packers (4) fill the conveyor channel.The crop is pre-compressed by the action of thepackers. The sensor rake (16) detects the pressure inthe conveyor channel. The sensor rake swings backonce a preset pressure is obtained.
The plunger thrust is controlled automatically by thehydraulic cylinder (9) at the bale channel shutters. Whenthe set pack length has been reached, the knotter me-chanism star wheel projecting into the bale channel isactuated. The Big Pack 88 is equipped with 4 knotters(7) and the Big Pack 127 and 128 with 6 knotters (7).The packs are deposited by a two-part pack chute (10).
In the bale channel the pre-compressed crop is pressedto a highly compressed big pack by the plunger (6). Thelength and of course the density of the pack are infinitelyvariable.Big packs can therefore be produced for the most variedof requirements.
The BIG PACK Baler must be driven by a tractor with atleast a 65 kW (85 bhp) power output.
The BIG PACK Baler is hitched to the trailer coupling orthe swinging drawbar.The swinging drawbar is fitted with a height adjustmentfeature so that the big pack baler can operate in ahorizontal position.
The drive to the BIG PACK is via a PTO shaft whichtransmits the torque from the tractor via a flywheel mass(11) to a straight bevel gear pair (12). The maximuminput speed of 1000 rpm may not be exceeded, as thereis a risk of the machine being damaged.
The PTO shaft is equipped with a wide angle joint on thetractor side. The operating instructions for the PTO shaftare located at the PTO shaft. Before putting the big packbaler into operation, the operating instructions for thePTO shaft should also be read. These detail in particularthe shortening of the PTO shaft as well as any repairand maintenance work.
The 2 m (2,4 m) wide pick up (2) collects the cropcleanly.A height-adjustable baffle plate (1) ensures error-freecollection and helps prevent blockages. The balingmaterial is carried via 2 filling augers (3), which are onthe left and right side of the pick-up, to the packer drum(13) or the cutting rotor (14) and blades (15).
The pick up can be raised and lowered with the tractorhydraulics. The feeler wheels on the pick up are height-adjustable so that the optimum pick up collection heightis always reached.
II - 12
Safety
Roll-type crop guard:A roll-type crop guard can be used to pre-compress thewindrow during the pick-up and to guarantee evenloading of the machine.
Swath distributor:A swath distributor is available as an extra to ensure aneven feed of the bale channel with narrow swathers.
Hydraulic folding bale chute with rollers:Especially when using the big baler for baling grasssilage, the rollers in the bale chute make it easier todeposit the bales.
Compressor:If hydraulic brakes are used on the big baler, acompressor can be installed as an extra for knottingdevice cleaning.
MultiCut:The MultiCut cutting system is available particularly forsilage recovery or when short bailing material is needed.A size reduction to as little as 45 mm is possible usingthis.
Wide pick-up:To better deal with wide harvester-thresher swaths, thebig baler can optionally be delivered with a wide pick-up(2.4 m).
Hitching export versions:Depending on the requirements of the respective countryeither a pivoting drawbar eye or a hitch coupling isavailable.
Double knotterWhen harvesting silage, the double knotter has someadvantages over the single knotter. The twine is notplaced in the knotter during baling. This reduces thewear on the knotter and the twine during baling. Thetying mechanism with the double knotter is howevermore time-consuming during set-up, maintenance andwhen resetting.
Automatic centralised lubrication system:The centralised lubrication system provides the mostimportant greasing points with lubricant (knotters,plunger with connecting rod, bogie axle, gauge wheelsand pick-up).
Electric bale length adjustment:Bale length can be varied continuously during the balingprocess using the display of the control unit.

4.6 Basic setting
Two sensors on the front part of the frame detect andamplify the density force and transmit it to the on-boardcomputer. The on-board computer interprets the signalsand then controls the pressure in the hydraulic cylindersof the bale channel shutters. At the same time, thesignals are transmitted to the control panel. They appearas a bar graph on the display to the left (b) and right (c)of the indicator for the baling pressure (Pmax-Mode) (a)or desired density force (Automatic-Mode) (a).The two bars (b and c) display the density forcedistribution on the left and right of the bale channel.Therefore the two bars (b and c) may have a differentlength.
When larger deviations occur between the currentdensity force (b) and (c), 4 arrows (e) appear on the leftor right of the display. They indicate which way the drivermust go when travelling over the windrow, in order toachieve even feeding of the bale chamber.

4.6.1 Pmax mode
After the in-cab control unit has been switched on, it’salways the Pmax mode that is activated (the LED of thePmax mode key (e) lights up). The central bar graph (a)visualises the density force (expressed as percentage)which builds up in the density control system with themachine running at nominal speed (33 percent = abt. 50- 60 bar).
Using the keys 1
and 2 it’s possible to adjust
the Pmax density force at any time between 0 and 100per cent (0 - 180 bar). The actual density force can beseen from the pressure gauge. The central bar graph (a)and the lateral bar graphs (b = LH) and (c = RH)(pressure exerted on the bale) are independent fromeach other. That means that the lateral bar graphs canshow higher or lower values than the central bar graph(Pmax target value). If the lateral bar graphs reach theirmaximum height, that means that the machine isoperated at the limit of capacity and pressure cannot befurther increased up to the target value (overloadprotection feature).

4.6.2 Automatic modeAfter the in-cab control unit has been switched on, it’salways the Pmax mode (e) that is activated. Increasingthe speed to the nominal value will cause an initialpressure of abt. 50 to 60 bar to be shown on thepressure gauge. Pressing the Pmax key (e) activatesthe automatic mode (the LED of Pmax key (e) goes out).
Contrary to the Pmax mode, the keys 1
and
2 are not used to determine a fixed density value,
but a target value between 0 and 100 per cent. Themachine is trying to control the density force byincreasing or reducing the value until the densitymeasured inside the bale (bar graph (b) = LH side andbar graph (c) = RH side) complies with the target value(central bar graph (a) (average value of the RH and LHbar graph identical to the target value).
While the bale chamber is being filled,you should never increase the densityvalue or switch to automatic mode. Thisrule must be strictly observed to preventthe deformation of the bale chambershutters.
The control only operates when the feedpacker drum supplies crop to the ram.If no crop is supplied (at the headlandor when idling for example) the currentpressure will be maintained.
During operation the on-board computer controls thecontact pressure of the bale chamber shuttersindependently so that the density force pre-selected bythe comfort controls is obtained. In the process, thepressure on the manometer may fluctuateconsiderably!

• In dangerous situations stop the PTO shaft and bring the big pack baler to a standstillimmediately.
• Never run the big pack baler without an operator on the tractor.• When working under the machine or on the needles in the baling channel, the needle carrier
must be secured against falling down. Danger of injury!
6.2 Adjusting the Needles
Carry out all adjustments to the needles without any twine threaded!
6.2.1 Lateral Adjustment of the Needles
Insert the needles (1) centrally between the clampingbrackets and the needle yoke, turn them towards theneedle slits and screw tight with screws (2). To be ableto carry out the adjustment, the binding process isinitiated manually and the needle yoke manually turnedup in the working direction at the flywheel mass. Whenraised, the needles must just laterally touch the left andright hand sides of the knotter frames. To correct thelateral distance, the screws (2) are undone and theneedles laterally positioned with the adjusting screws (3).Always make sure that the screws are all tightened upfirmly again after making the adjustment.

To adjust the height of the needles (4) when these areentering the knotting system, start a binding process andthen turn the flywheel manually in the normal sense ofoperation until the lower roller of the needle point islocated above the cleaning disc of driver (2). Distance„a“ from the lower edge of the needle roller to the topedge of the cleaning disc should be equal to 1 - 3 mm iftwine is installed. If this dimension should not be availble,an adjustment can be made by using the set screws (7).When entering the knotter, the needles should slightlytouch the knotter on the RH side. Any required sideadjustment of the needles can be performed using the setscrews (6) (see section 6.2.1). After adjustment it isessential to check that the screws (6) and (7) are properlylocked.
6.2.3 Needles' Upper Dead Centre
If a binding process starts, the needle yoke is set inmotion by connecting rod (3). To adjust the upper deadpoint of the needles, the needle yoke must be moved toits highest position (dead point). The needles (4) projectfrom the knotter. Distance „b“ from the top edge of thedriver disc (2) to the center of the lower roller should beequal to x mm if twine is installed. If the adjustmentshould not be correct, shorten or lengthen needleconnecting rod (3) until the required value is available.The needles should not touch the driver disc when in thehighest position.

6.2.5 Needles Relative to the plunger
To set the needles relative to the plunger, the drive PTOshaft for the knotter shaft must first of all be dismoun-ted. The plunger is turned manually in the working direc-tion at the flywheel mass until the crank arms and thepiston rods are overlapping each other (i.e. the balingram is at the front dead centre).
The knotter gear is then turned until the coloured mar-king on the knotter shaft crown wheel is aligned withthe upper rear edge of the knotter gearbox. After the ad-justment has been made place the PTO shaft for the kn-otter shaft back in position and secure. Check the set-tings as described in the following chapter.
Checking the Setting of the Needles Relative to the plunger
To be able to check the setting of the needles relative tothe plunger, the binding process is initiated. Beforechecking the dimensions it is necessary to releaseneedle yoke brake (3).
To do this:
• Release nut (4) on the RH and LH machine side.

The plunger (2) is manually turned in the workingdirection at the flywheel mass until the tips (1) of thebinding needles are at the same height as the ram blade.In this position the needle tip must be covered by theplunger, with the dimension a = 40–70 mm. If this is notthe case the setting must be corrected by altering theposition of the knotter drive PTO shaft.
• Adjust the length of spring (5) to 110 mm bytightening nut (4).

The adjustment is made by undoing the screws (3) and(4) on the twine bar (1). Shift the twine bar in the slotuntil the dimension "b" = 2–5 mm.
The setting for the distance at the side "a" is adjusted atthe control rod assembly (5) for the twine bar (1). Tomake the adjustment undo self-locking nuts (6) and takeoff the ball head (7). Twist the control rod until thedimension a is set at a = 0 – 5 mm. When the twine baris pressed in the direction of the slot, the „a“ dimensionmust still be maintained. Tighten up the self-locking nutsagain.
If the twine bars (1) are in the middle of the openings,the distance from the tip of the twine bar and the innerside of the needle (2) must be "b" = 2–5 mm.
6.3.1 Adjusting the Twine Bar
Initiate the binding process manually (see chapter 5.4.4"Initiating the Binding Process Manually"). Turn theflywheel in the working direction. The needles moveupwards. At the same time move the twine bars over theopenings through which the needles transport the twineto the knotter.
6.3 Twine Bar (Single knotter)
The twine bar (1) draws the twine down from the needleand presses it against the knotter hook. If the twine isnot taken by the twine bars, the knotter hook cannot takeup the twine.

The twine brakes (2) are located below the twine boxes.The adjusting screws (3) keep the baling twine (1) undertension.
The various types of baling twine may have differentfrictional properties. The tensile stress of the skein mustbe checked when the type of baling twine is changed.The level of the tensile stress on the twine should beselected so that the twine tension springs do not touchthe swing angle. The X dimension depends on theselected baling twine and must be establishedindividually by checking the skein. Exceeding feedtension of the skein may cause knotter faults and putsexcessive stress on the components involved.
Checking the Tension:1. Thread the twine as specified.2. Initiate the knotting process manually.3. Turn the big pack baler's flywheel manually in the
working direction until the binding needle hasreached its upper dead centre.
4. Draw out approx. 200 mm of twine and cut.5. Pull the skein slowly and evenly until the twine
tension springs reach their highest position underthe channel.
6. While holding the twine, the twine tension springsmust remain in this position without the twine beingable to be tightened by the brake.
7. With slight increase of the tensile force the brakemust allow the twine to slip through.

6.5 Plunger Setting
The bale chamber is equipped with two blades (6).• The plunger (3) on the Big Pack 127/128 is equipped
with seven blades (5).• The plunger (3) on the Big Pack 88 on the other hand
is only fitted with five blades (5) due to the smallerwidth of the bale chamber.
Adjusting the plunger blades
The plunger blades must be set precisely to obtain asmooth surface on the underside of the pack. To adjustthe distance to "a" = 2 mm the height of the plunger canbe adjusted with the eccentric sleeves (2) on the guiderollers. After separating the two halves of the clampbedding (1), the eccentric sleeves are turned to raise andlower the plunger. After making the adjustment, thetighten the two halves of the clamp bedding again. Makesure that the guide rails (4) and the guide rollers do notbecome dirty. This can lead to increased wear and animprecise height setting of the plunger.
• The guide rollers for the plunger must carry uniformly.• The gap between the plunger blade and the blades in the bale channel must be uniform over
the whole width of the ram.

6.7 Setting the clutch
1. Adjust the adjusting screw (14) so that the clutchswitch ratchet (18) sits B = 6 - 8 mm on the middleof the roller (19) when the clutch is switched off.
2. If the anvil (15) sits on the adjusting screw (14), therear of the back holder rake (12) has to stand parallelto the back wall of the feed packer channel. You canset it at the threaded rod (13) (arrange measure of A= 438 mm).
3. After rotation the roller (16) will drop down the outsidemargin of the pulley (17). When the back holder rakepulls back the anvil will apply to the adjusting screw.In this position the top of the back holder rake (12)still has to reach 5 - 10 mm into the feed packerchannel. You can set it with the adjusting screw (11).
6.8.2 Setting the damper equipment
The damper equipment prevents the anvil from switchingon the VFS-clutch through its own movements. Theadjustable tension of the pressure spring (20) dependson e.g. the condition of the brake (wear grade, paint,rust).To check the spring's tension you have to actuate theback holder rake (12). For that reason put some feeder inthe big baler. If the back holder rake swings back again(at full number of revolution), the anvil (15) is allowedto bounce back from the adjust screw (14) max. 1 - 3mm. If the anvil bounces back further you will have toincrease the tension of the pressure spring (20).If the back holder rake swings out, the anvil has to arriveat the adjust screw (11). If not, reduce the springtension.
6.8.1 Lateral setting of the damperequipment
To compensate tolerances because of welding andadaptation the damper equipment is adjustable.
Checking the settings:Press the anvil (15) against the adjust screw (14). In thisposition there should be a gap of 35 - 37 mm to the backfrom the strech screw for the pressure spring (20) in theslot (22) of the anvil. To correct the adjustment undo thescrews (21) and correspondingly displace the damperequipment.

6.10 Adjusting the FlywheelCleaning Mechanism (only BigPack 88)
Even small deposits of dirt in the interior of the flywheel(1) can lead to imbalances. The setting of the plastic bar(2) should therefore be checked regularly. If the gapbetween the flywheel and the plastic bar is too large,undo the nuts (3) on the bracket (4) and slide the plasticbar in the slots up towards the flywheel mass. Tightenup the nuts again.

The spring (23) is responsible for bringing the backholder rake into its swing position again after the feederinsertion (over the anvil (15) and the threaded rod (13)).The anvil (15) therefore has to arrive at the adjust screw(24).
The arrange measure is swing length “C” = 130 mm.
• The tension of the swing should be increased, if- the end position of the back holder rake and the
anvil cannot be reached (see chapter 6.8.)- the filling of the press channel's height is not
sufficient.-> Badly filled baler corners mostly result due to
bad forms of swathe or onesided drivingconditions
• Excessive spring tension can cause a blockage ofthe packer and therefore reduce the output.

7.8 Compressed Air Unit7.8.1 General
Before draining condensed water from the compressed air reservoir tank, make sure that themachine is secured from rolling away. Apply the parking brake and place wheel chocks underthe wheels.
Big pack balers equipped with an air brake have twocompressed air reservoir tanks and pneumatic brakecylinders. For hydraulically actuated brakes, only onecompressed air reservoir tank is fitted for the knottercleaning mechanism. Condensed water collects in thecompressed air reservoir tanks. This condensation canlead to malfunctions. It must therefore be drained everyweek.
7.8.2 Compressed Air Reservoir Tank
On big pack balers with air brakes, the compressed airreservoir tank (2) is located on the left hand side of themachine. It is connected to the compressed air reser-voir tank for the knotter cleaning mechanism by a pres-sure line (1). Condensed water can be drained at thewater evacuation valve (3).
The compressed air reservoir tank for the knotter me-chanism is located on the left hand side of the machineat the top beside the bale channel. Condensed watermust also be drained here at the water evacuationvalve.
Oil check
Check the oil level in the angular gearbox (1) before eachoperation.
To do this remove the check screw (2). The oil levelmust reach the lower edge of the check hole, ifnecessary top up the oil through the breather hole (3).
The oil should be changed after every season.To change the oil, remove the breather screw (3) thedischarging screw (4) and the check screw (2). Collectthe draining oil in a suitable container and dispose of it inan environmentally friendly manner. Fit the dischargingscrew (4) and fill in oil up to the check hole. Fit thecheck screw (2) and breather screw (3).

8.3 LubricationThe lubrication points on the big baler should belubricated regularly. The lubrication point positions andlubrication intervals can be be found in the lubricationschedules in the operating manual or on the stickers onthe front of the twine boxes. Remove the grease whichescapes from the bearings after lubrication.
Lubrication intervals:10 h corresponds with approx. daily50 h corresponds with approx. weekly
8. Lubrication
• Repair, care, maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out with the machine at astandstill. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Apply the flywheel brake.
• Secure the big pack baler and the tractor from rolling away.• After completing care and maintenance work replace all protective plates and protective
devices again properly.• Avoid skin contact with oils and greases.• In case of injury caused by discharged oil, seek immediate medical attention.
8.2 GeneralAs a standard feature the big pack baler is fitted with acentral lubrication system for the knotter area. The grea-se press for this system is located on the rear right handbale channel at the same height as the maintenanceplatform.Soft, smooth lithium NLGI grade 2 soap grease with E.P.additives in accordance with DIN 51825 are to be usedas lubricating greases. We advise against using lubrica-ting greases taking something else as a basis.
Main PTO ShaftThe lubricating periods for the main PTO shaft are givenin the adjacent diagram. Further information can befound in the PTO shaft manufacturer's operatinginstructions.

Lubrication
8.4.1 Method of operation of the BEKA-MAX central grease lubrication system:
The BEKA-MAX central grease lubrication system operates on a progressive basis and is capable of using grease toNLGI Class 2. „Progressive“ signifies that the bearings are lubricated in a progressive sequence, i.e. one after theother. This design principle permits easy monitoring of the system by means of an in-built pressure relief valve in thepump element. If any lubrication point cannot be lubricated from the distributor, a back pressure of up to 280 bar willbe built up in system and at that point, a controlled discharge will be effected by the pressure relief valve. A microswitch on the relief valve of the pump element send a warning signal, this means, the terminal shows a warningsymbol, if a fault occurs. Normally, progressive systems are operated using commercially available standardgreases to NLGI Class 2.
8.4.2 Design of the BEKA-MAX central grease lubrication system:
An electrically actuated piston pump, with up to three pump elements, supplies lubricant to the main progressivedistributor (if installed) which, in turn, distributes grease to the secondary distributors in the correct ratio. Thesesecondary distributors then supply the lubricant to the various bearings on the vehicle. If there are less than twentylubrication points on the vehicle, only one distributor will be required. An electronic control modulewill trigger lubricating and „off“ times of the pump and hence the total quantity of lubricant supplied.

8.4.3 Function description, centrallubricating pump EP-1:
Method of Operation:The DC motor (10) provides a continuos drive to theeccentric (5) with thrust ring (6). This cam arrangementproduces the suction and pressure stroke of the primarypiston (7) and the integrated check value (8) preventsreturn of lubricant.The rotating charging arm (2) forces lubricant from thereservoir (1) via the perforated base plate (4) into thepump housing at the bottom end of the pump body.The combination of charging arm and perforated plateserves to reduce air bubbles to insignificant dimensions.A rubber wiper blade on the charging arm (2) permitsvisual check of grease level in the transparent reservoir(1). Filling of the reservoir is effected via the hydraulicgrease nipple.The pressure relief valve (9), is preset to 280 baroperating pressure, to provide protection for the pumpand piping system.

8.4.5 Lubrication scheme Big Pack 127 / 128
VIII - 11
Lubrication
Integrated electronic control unit S-EP 4 with data memory for pump type EP-1The electronic control unit S-EP 4 is used for control of a central lubrication system, governed according to operatingtimes, both for progressive systems (EP-1 pumps) and for multi-line systems (OC-1 pumps).
Sequence of steps of operation:
(Time of lubrication; inoperative periods): After ignition has been turned ON, the yellow LED will be lighted for approx.2,5 sec., this signalling that the system is ready for operation. If a function test is to be performed, an intermediatelubrication cycle has to be started by means of a push button at the engine housing or in the dashboard.
When that push button in the dashboard or at the engine housing is actuated, the time of lubrication is started and thepump is turned ON. After the time lubrication is completed, the pump motor will be turned OFF and the inoperativetime begins. All subsequent steps of lubrication will be started automatically in accordance to the rhythm of the pre-selected inoperative times.
If the ignition is turned off while an inoperative time or a lubrication cycle is going on, the time will be interrupted andstored in the memory. When the ignition is turned on again, the dates stored in the memory will be re-activated andthe sequence of operations will be continued at that point where it was interrupted before.
When the ignition is turned ON, an intermediate lubrication cycle can be started at any time by means of the pushbutton at the engine housing or in the dashboard.

Knotter
9. Knotter9.1 Special Notes on Safety
• All maintenance, adjustment and repair work on the knotter may only be carried out with themachine at a standstill. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Lock the flywheel brake.• Lock the knotting initiating mechanism by locking the safety catch to prevent unintentional
initiation.
The closer (4) on the knotter hook (3) is tensioned withthe spring (2). The spring pressure can be adjusted witha hexagonal nut (1). If the clamping action in the knottermouth is too strong, the knot gets stuck in the mouth.The twine breaks. If the clamping action is too weak,either no knot or a loose knot is formed. These faultscan be avoided by correcting the spring tension on thespring (2).
9.2 The Knotter Hook
9.1.2 Start up
The knotter is set and checked by the manufacturer. Itshould operate correctly without any furtheradjustments. Should any problems with the bindingoccur during commissioning, the systems should notimmediately be reset as these are often faults causedby varnish, rust and rough spots.It is recommended to remove the antirust grease fromthe twine mount and knotter prior to commissioning.

9.4 The Blade LeverThe blade lever (2) must be positioned such that thetying hook (1) can rotate freely without touching any partof the blade lever (2).
9.3 The Twine Retainer
The adjustment of twine driver (5) depends on theposition of the notch relative to twine disc cleaner (7).The notch of twine driver (5) must be positioned asshown in the figure alongside (a = 2-3 mm), otherwisethe two twines fed by the needle cannot pass throughthe space between twine disc cleaner (7) and twineretainer (6). If the notch of twine driver (5) is positionedtoo far at the front (i.e. displaced in clockwise direction),the twine fed by the needle cannot be caught by thetwine driver. On the other hand, if the notch of twinedriver (5) is positioned too far at the rear (i.e. displacedin counterclockwise direction), the twines can becomeentangled around the knotter bill hook or be caught bythe knotter tongue.To adjust the carrier (5) the auger clamped on to onecone on the auger shaft must be loosened. To do thisthe hexagonal nut (4) is loosened to the point where oneof its faces projects approx. 1 mm over the end of theshaft. The auger comes loose when tapped lightlyagainst the hexagonal nut (4). The optimum position canbe found by making a corresponding rotation. The augercan only be turned when there is no twine in the twinemount.
The clamping strength is adjusted at the hexagonal nut(3) which tensions the helical spring (2) on the twineretainer. The twine retainer should clamp the twine justtightly enough for it not to be pulled out of the twineretainer during the tying process. If the clamping actionis too strong the twine is frayed. The clamping strengthshould be set proportionally to the increasing packdensity. The type and moisture content of the crop aswell as the choice of twine require different settings,which can be tried out under working conditions ifnecessary. The spring (2) must never be tensioned tothe length of the block.
It is necessary to perform at least twobinding processes before checkingthe position of the notch.

10. Over the Winter
• Repair, care, maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out with the machine at astandstill. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Apply the flywheel brake.
• Secure the big pack baler and the tractor from rolling away.• After completing care and maintenance work, replace all protective plates and protective
devices again properly.• Avoid skin contact with oils, greases, cleaning agents and solvents.• In case of injuries or burns caused by oils, cleaning agents or solvents, seek immediate
medical attention.• Follow all other notes on safety to prevent injuries and accidents.
10.2 GeneralBefore putting the big pack baler away for the winter, clean inside and outside thoroughly. If using a high-pressurecleaner, do not direct the water jet at the bearings. Lubricate all lubrication points after cleaning. Do not wipe awayany grease coming out of the bearings. The grease ring provides additional protection against moisture.
Remove drive chains and chains for the chain coupling (then check packer setting) and wash in petroleum (do notuse any other solvent). At the same time check for wear on the chains and chain wheels. Oil the chains oncecleaned and then mount and tighten up again.Check that all moving parts such as deflection rollers, joints, tensioning rollers etc. can be moved easily. Ifnecessary dismount, clean, grease and remount. Replace with new parts if required. Only use genuine KRONEreplacement parts.
Take the PTO shafts apart. Lubricate the inner tubes and the guard tubes. Grease the lubricating nipple on theuniversal joint as well as the bearing rings on the guard tubes.
Park the big pack baler in a dry place away from artificial fertilisers and animal stalls.
Touch up the paintwork where required. Protect bare spots, especially the twine lugs, the knotter (knotter clamp andthe twine retaining disk) and the bale channel thoroughly with plant-based oils.
Only jack up the big pack baler with a suitable vehicle jack. Make sure that the machine is in astable position when jacked up.
Jack up the round baler to prevent damage to the tyres (damage to the tyres can occur when the round baler standsin the same position for a long time). Protect the tyres from the effects of oil, direct sunshine etc.
Release the parking brake and the flywheel brake. Drain condensation from the compressed air reservoir tanks.
Have the necessary repair work carried out in the time directly after the harvest season. Prepare a list of all spareparts required. By doing this it is easier for your KRONE dealer to process your orders and you can be sure that yourmachine will be in top condition for the start of the next season.

12.1.1 Special notes on safety
12.1.2 General
The Big Pack MultiCut has a cutting system with a cuttingroller and fixed blades.Cutting allows better bale processing and increased baledensity. The blades can be swung out of the conveyorchannel hydraulically from the tractor if there are blockages.The machine can also be used without blades. The cuttingroller then takes over the conveying function between thepick-up and pre-baling channel.
The Big Pack MultiCut 88 cutting system can be equippedwith a max. of 15 blades. The Big Pack MultiCut 128 andBig Pack MultiCut 127 cutting system can be equipped witha max. of 25 blades. Theoretically cutting length is 45 mm(Adjustment "45" on the selector disc). A cutting length of"90 mm" can be achieved with two of the blade sets. Thecutting length can be read off the selector disc (1).
The cutting length is determined by the number of bladesused:

12.7 Double knotter12.7.1 System operation
During the baling process both a top and bottom skeinare fed to the bale. They are knotted together at the start(start knot) and at the end (end knot) of each bale.The bottom skein is fed through the needle via atensioning system. It encloses the bottom and the twoends of the bale, while the top skein is fed directly to thebale via a tensioning system and covers only the top ofthe bale.The twine supply required by the bottom skein isapproximately double the requirement of the top skein.
12.7.2 Tying process
The tying needle is equipped with a moving roller at thepoint and another moving roller immediately below thefirst roller.The second roller guides the skein coming from belowthe bale. The first roller on top at the needle point holdsthe skein coming from the top and feeds it with thebottom skein into the knotter where both are knottedtogether.The double knotter operates in the same way as aconventional twine knotter. The only difference is thatthe knotter discs have two rows of teeth, which allowactivation of the knotter hook, carrier plate and bladelever twice during one complete knotter shaft rotation inorder to tie two knots.

This could be the hinged bolt (8)of the top tension flap for example. The thread must besecured so that the tension arm (5) is under tension. Cutoff thread at the hinged bolt after completion of the nexttying process. Alternatively, the loose end of the topthread may be pressed into the bale. To do this, guidethe twine through the rollers of the insertion arm (6) andlower approx. 50 cm of twine into the baling channel.When continuing the baling process, the thread getscaught in the bale pulling the tension arm down. It isimportant that the tension arm is under tensionimmediately prior to the start of the tying process.

The following faults may be displayed:
The twine flow display remain on the top:- The twine is wrapped around the knotter hook.- The needle did not pick up the top thread (twine will
not be cut)- The knot got caught on the knotter hook (after
completing the tying, one twine flow display remainslonger at the bottom than the others do).
The twine flow display remains at the bottom:- The twine tension is too low.- The top skein snapped.- The knotter hook did not tie a knot.
12.7.4 Twine flow display
The bottom skein is electronically controlled (Chapter5.4.3 Electric twine fault display).The run of the top twine can be monitored by reflectors(twine flow display), which are attached on top of themachine.While baling, the twine flow display should move backand forwards, reciprocating.In general, all indicators raise and drop at the sametime, unless a malfunction occurs. A malfunction isshown if the indicator of the faulty twine flow is not in thesame position as the other indicators.

12.7.5 Settings
This chapter only describes the settings, which differfrom those of the single knotter. For informationregarding the settings refer to the appropriate chapters.
Twine tension on the top skein
The brakes (2) should retain the top skeins (1) at amaximum tensile force of 60 – 80 N.Before the twine brakes allow the twine slipping through,the twine tension arm (3) should move down against thespring resistance until the twine (1) is guided through theeye of the tension arm (4) without much deflection.Checking the twine tension:Tie the thread (1) to a spring scale. The spring scalemay display 60 – 80 N immediately prior to the slippingthrough of the thread.
The tensile force can be increased by tightening thethumb nut (5). Release the thumbnut to reduce thetension.
BP-VFS-041
Twine tension on the bottom skein
The twine brakes are located at the rear wall of the feedchannel. The adjustment of the braking effect is identicalto the settings on the top twine brakes.
Checking the tensile stress:
1. Thread the twine according to the instructions.2. Initiate the knotting process manually.3. Turn the flywheel manually in working direction until
the tying needles have reach their top dead center4. Pull approx. 200 mm of twine out of the needle and
cut it.5. Pull the skein slowly and evenly until the twine
tension springs reach their highest position under thechannel.
6. While holding the twine, the twine tension springsmust remain in this position without the twine beingable to be tightened by the brake.
7. With slight increase of the tensile force the brakemust allow the twine to slip through.

Special Equipment
Adjusting the twine bar
Initiate the tying process manually (see Chapter 5.4.4Initiating the binding process manually). Turn theflywheel in working direction. The needles moveupwards. At the same time the twine bars move over theopenings through which the needles thread the twine tothe knotter.
If the twine bars (1) are in the center of the openings, thedistance between the tip of the twine bar and the insideof the needle (2) must be b = 10 – 15 mm.Continue tying by turning the flywheel. Once the firstknot (end knot) is completed, the needle moves downagain and the insertion arms are inserted in the channelslots at their lowest point. Then the twine bars moveover the openings again.When the twine bars pick up the twine, they must have aminimum overlap of 10 mm (the twine must be picked upat least 10 mm from the twine bar tip).
The adjustment is made by releasing the screws (4) and(3) on the twine bar (1). Shift the twine bar in the slotuntil both requirements are met.
The setting for the side clearance „a“ is adjusted at thecontrol rod assembly (5) of the twine bar (1). To makethe adjustment release the self-locking nuts (6) and takeoff the ball head (7). Twist the control rod until the „a“dimension is set at 5 – 10 mm. When the twine bar ispressed in the direction of the slot, the „a“ dimensionmust still be maintained. Then tighten the self-lockingnuts again.

Tying needle - insertion arm alignment
The centerlines of the insertion arm rollers should run atan offset of a = approx. 3 mm to the left of the needlecenter, so that the insertion arms are set with a safetymargin of b = 1-2 mm to the left side of the channel slot.This can be achieved by using shims at the ends of theinsertion arm shaft.If this offset cannot be obtained at individual insertionarms, these must be readjusted.

13.4 Failure of Regulation of the Baling Thrust
• In emergencies, the pressure adjustment for the bale channel flaps is made while themachine is running. Particular care is required when making the adjustment. High risk ofinjury! Make sure that the machine can be switched off immediately in case of danger.
• The big pack baler can be operated temporarily in emergency mode if the regulation of thebaling thrust should fail.
• Without the regulation of the baling thrust, the maximum baling pressure may be exceeded.This can lead to serious damage. Never work for long periods without the electronic control.
To adjust:
The baling pressure of the bale channel flaps is adjustedat the hydraulic control block (1) on the right hand side ofthe machine underneath the knotter shaft.
• Unplug the on-board electronics!• Loosen the self-locking nut (2) on the knurled
screw (3).• Take out the knurled screw (3) completely.• Screw in screw (4) completely.• Set the desired pressure by slowly screwing in the
knurled screw (3).• Read the pressure above the control block.• Tighten up the self-locking nut (2) again.
13.3 Packer Drum
The packer drive is protected from overloading with aspring-loaded ratchet clutch inside the gearbox. If theclutch is activated, switch off the PTO shaft imme-diately. Stop the tractor and the machine. Allow the bigpack baler to come to a standstill. Do not brake theflywheel.If the blockage has not cleared itself with the machinerunning on, turn the flywheel back by hand and removethe blockage or foreign body.
Work can be resumed once the blockage has beencleared completely. The ratchet clutch switches on againautomatically.

Fault
Blockage in the system or in any connectedbearings.
Hand-actuated systems.Hand lever cannot be moved or is hard to move.
Blockages in the Distributor
If no lubricant comes out of the outlets after allthe outlets on the main distributor and/or the sub-distributor have been taken off, the distributor isblocked.
13.6 Finding Errors in the Central Lubrication System
Eliminating the Fault
Establishing the Causes of Blockages and EliminatingThem.
PROCEDUREFirst check whether the transport pump is working and isproviding the distributor with lubricant. To do this take off thepump outlet and switch on the pump. If the pump is workingproperly connect the pump outlet again. (Conclusion: the pumpis in perfect condition.)
Let pump run until the next blockage occurs or the nextunacceptable pressure increase occurs. Let the pressureremain.Loosen the inlet screw fittings on the sub-distributor or the maindistributor one after the other. For single-stage systems loosenthe inlet screw fittings one after the other.The distributor which suddenly leaks lubricant when the screwfitting is loosened unter pressure leads to the source of thefault.The screw fittings should then be tightened up again. Thepertinent bearing inlet screw fittings should then be loosened oneafter the other. The bearing whose inlet screw fitting leakslubricant when loosened under presure is the bearing which isblocked. Clear the blockage.
Replace the blocked distributor.If necessary the distributor can be cleaned under the followingconditions.A clean working area must be available.Remove all pipe connection screw fittings.Remove the piston screw plug with a strong screw driver. Ifloosen by striking the screw with a hammer.Die piston should be removed with a soft mandril (with less than6 mm Ø, if possible plastic).Very important: A record should be kept of which piston belongsto which drilling so that the pistons cannot be mixed up.Clean the distributor body several times with grease-solublecleaning agent and blow dry with compressed air.There are inclined channels with a diameter of 1.5 mm locatedat the ends of the thread on the piston screw openings, whichshould be cleared with a piece of wire or a pin.Clean and blow dry the distributor again.Congealed grease may have formed in the piston screw plugs,which should be removed.Re-assemble the distributor, at the same time replacing allcopper strips.Before screwing in the pipe oputlet fittings, oil (if possible) shouldbe pumped through the distributor several times with a handpump or similar.The pressure in the distributor should not exceed 25 bar. Apressure higher than this means that the distributor was notcleaned properly or that the piston openings are damaged. If thedistributor operating pressure does not fall below 25 bar in spiteof remedial action, the distributor should be replaced.
