Introduction

INTRODUCTION This operating manual for the Rollant 240/250/254/255

round baler (applicable from 72505431/74800011/

75400011/74900011) is primarily intended for the

machine operator; it provides information on the use of

the round baler, including its settings and operation.

Please comply with the guidelines for correct care and

maintenance of your round baler to ensure permanent

availability and a long service life of the round baler.

Have your round baler inspected by your CLAAS

workshop immediately after harvest within the

framework of these winter storage recommendations.

Deficiencies in maintenance or incorrect operation

lead to a drop in performance and result in time losses.

Use the experience and latest knowledge in long stalk

harvest implemented in this round baler by correct

operation and thorough maintenance, and your round

baler will always produce excellent results.

General notes

ROAD TRAFFIC The machine operator must always have a copy of

the General Type Approval (ABE) issued by the

Kraftfahrt Bundesamt (KBA) or the individual type

approval and two wheel chocks at hand.

When driving on public roads with the lof working

equipment attached, all duties determined under C

in the copy of the ABE issued by the KBA (§ 18,

para. 5 StVZO) or the duties and notes listed in the

individual type approval must be observed.

Above all, no bale must be in the round baler.

If parts of the baler, the conditions of which are

clearly specified, are later changed or modified in

such a way that their operation will endanger any

other participants in traffic, the type approval will

become invalid and a new type approval must be

applied for. In this case the Iof working equipment

must be presented to the responsible technical

inspection authority for motor vehicles (e.g. TÜV) for

issuing an expertise (§ 19 para. 2 StVZO).

If you are in doubt that this may be the case, please

contact us as the manufacturer.

If the round baler is pulled after a tractor, especially

the following devices have to be connected:

- The cable of the lighting equipment.

- The cable for power supply.

Before starting to drive the condition of:

- the connection between pulling vehicle and baler

- the lighting equipment must be checked.

If the license plate given to the vehicle owner for

one his tractors is concealed when the baler is

hitched up, attach a picture of this plate, including its

lighting, onto the baler.

The local road traffic regulations may differ in

individual countries.

The maximum speed under the road traffic

regulations for the country of operation must be

observed. However, the hitched baler is designed to

travel at a maximum speed of 40 km/h (25 mph). It

is not permissible to exceed that speed.

General notes

TO BE OBSERVED ESPECIALLY In order to avoid any dangers all information in

these operating instructions must be read and

applied by all persons using, maintaining,

repairing or inspecting this round baler. Read in

particular the section “Concerning safety”.

The use of spare parts, accessories and

attachments not originally supplied by CLAAS

and not tested and approved by CLAAS may

impair design specific characteristics of CLAAS

machines or have a negative effect on their

functionality, thereby impairing the active and/

or passive driving as well as the working safety.

CLAAS does not assume liability for damage

resulting from the use of parts, accessories and

attachments not originally manufactured and

supplied by CLAAS.
