Dear Customer

The Operating instructions will allow you to become acquainted with your machine and pro-

vide clear information about safe and correct handling, maintenance and care. Take the time

to read the instructions all the way through.

The operating instructions are a part of the machine. They must be stored in an accessible

location at the workplace for the entire service life of the machine. The user must independ-

ently supplement the instructions regarding national regulations on accident prevention, traf-

fic safety and environment protection.

All persons that are entrusted with the operation, maintenance or transport of the machine

must read and understand these instructions, in particular the safety instructions, before be-

ginning work. Any warranty claims lapse on non-observance of these Instructions.

If you have any questions regarding the contents of these Operating instructions or further

questions regarding the machine, please contact your PÖTTINGER service partner.

Correct maintenance and care according to the defined maintenance intervals will ensure the

operational and traffic safety, as well as the reliability of your machine.

Use only original spare parts or spare parts and accessories that are approved by PÖTTING-

ER Landtechnik GmbH. Only original spare parts that are approved by us have been tested

and accordingly are appropriate for use in your machine. The use of any unapproved parts

forfeits any guarantee or guarantee claim. Even after the end of the warranty period we rec-

ommend using original spare parts to ensure the performance of your machine.

The Product Liability Law obligates manufacturers/dealers to transfer operating instructions

Functional elements

Names and functions

Pos. Element Function

1 Universal drawbar Drawbar height infinitely adjustable. A drawbar eye coupling is

used for top attachment (lower PTO shaft). A drawbar coupling

or drawbar eye coupling is used for lower hitching (top PTO

shaft).

2 Support stand The continuously adjustable support leg supports the machine

in the parking position.

3 Gearbox Input gearbox from tractor.

4 Pre-compression

unit

The pre-compression device hitched with a spring can be adjus-

ted to the swath height so that it can compact the compression

material along a rotating roll guide and a baffle plate.

5 Pickup The pick-up with 8-fold adjustable float function and a collection

width of 2050 mm (MASTER models) or 2300 mm (PRO mod-

els) collects the pressed material.

6 LIFTUP-rotor The LIFTUP overhead rotor feeds the material to the cutterbar.

7 FLEXCUT cutter-

bar and TWIN-

BLADE blade

FLEXCUT cutterbar with up to 32 double-sided knives and knife

group control. The cutting length can be adjusted by swivelling

out or in knife groups.

8 Knife bar with

EASY MOVE

function

Hydraulically extendable and retractable cutterbar, laterally ex-

tendable on rollers.

9 Cutting base Can be swung in and out hydraulically in the event of overfilling

of the cutterbar.

10 IMPRESS F:

Fixed pressing

chamber with

pressing belt

The fixed bale chamber allows the production of round bales

with a diameter of 1250 mm.

IMPRESS V: Vari-

able chamber ba-

ler with compres-

sion belts

The variable bale chamber allows the production of round bales

with continuously adjustable diameters.

11 Tying system The bale in the bale chamber is bound with the binding device.

12 Tailgate Hydraulically operated tailgate for bale ejection.

13 Bale ramp (op-

tional)

Due to the optionally provided bale kicker, driving back from the

swath for unloading can be omitted.

14 Ascent The platform offers safe access to the tying system so that you

are able to insert the tying medium.

15 Chassis (Optional) Running gear with compressed air brake and me-

chanical parking brake.

(Option) Chassis with hydraulic brake / emergency brake valve

and mechanical parking brake.

Protection device so as to avoid clamping in the wrapper. The

wrapper gear is switched off as soon as the safety bar is operated.

Terminal

Machine operation takes place via the terminal. It shows the current machine status and

gives acoustic and optical warnings in case of a malfunction.

Depending on the configuration, the round baler is equipped with a SELECT CONTROL ter-

minal (1), a POWER CONTROL terminal (2) or a CCI terminal (3) or (4) (option).

The machine can be operated via the ISOBUS tractor terminal.

Description

8321.en.80U.1 Operating manual IMPRESS 155 VC | 19

Intended use

The IMPRESS round balers are designed for mounting on a suitable tractor and for compact-

ing grass silage, alfalfa silage, hay and straw. The implements allow for the production of

round bales with stable shape, tied with net.

The implement is designed to be operated by one person. Operation by a second person is

only permitted for training purposes. Areas of responsibility and work processes must be

clearly established and agreed.

Any other use or use going beyond that stated above is not appropriate. The operator is fully

liable for any damage resulting from such uses. It is prohibited to transport persons, objects

of bales with this machine.

Appropriate use also includes observance of these Instructions and warning signs (picto-

grams) as well as of the care and maintenance conditions.
