I. Foreword

Dear customer,

We thank you for the trust you have placed in us by

purchasing this machine.

When you received this machine, we hope that your

dealer gave you instructions for the operation,

maintenance and adjustment of the machine.

However, this brief introduction to the machine is no

substitute for a detailed acquaintance with the different

tasks and functions of the machine and the proper way

of treating it.

These operating instructions are designed so that you

are extensively informed of the activities required in

each area, from commissioning and operation to the

maintenance and care of the machine. The structure

of the individual chapters in the text and illustrations

corresponds to the sequence of work procedures

when you use the machine.

Read these operating instructions carefully before

you use the machine, and pay special attention to the

safety instructions.

Important: To avoid accidents and to ensure

maximum results, no alterations may

be made to the machine without the

manufacturer´s permission. Similarly,

the machine must only be used under

the conditions prescribed by Krone.

All information, illustrations and technical information in

the operating instructions represent the latest status at

the date of publication. The company reserves the right

to make constructional alterations at any time and

without prior notice or obligation.

This symbol is designed to draw atten-

tion to the safety instructions contain-

ed in the operating instructions. These

instructions must be observed to

prevent accidents.

Ordering Replacement Parts

Mach. No.

Type

Year

When ordering replacement parts, the machine type,

machine number and year of manufacture must be

given. These details can be found on the identification

label on the machine.

We recommend that these details be entered in the

above boxes so that they are readily available.

And please remember that imitations and copies of

parts, especially wearing parts, do not keep what they

appear to promise. Material quality is difficult to test

visually, therefore special care is required when

purchasing cheap offers and imitation parts!

The simplest remedy:

Purchase only original KRONE parts!

Safety and Accident Prevention

Regulations

1. Take note of both the regulations in these operating

instructions and also the general safety and accident

prevention regulations!

2. The attached warning and information signs give

important advice for safe operation. Observing them will

enhance your safety!

3. When you use public roads, make sure you observe the

relevant traffic regulations!

4. Make sure you know all equipment and controls before

you begin working with the machine. When you are

operating the machine, it´s too late!

Basic rule:

Before any public roads are used

and before the machine is started,

check the round baler and the tractor

for road-worthiness and operational

safety.

Operation in Accordance with

Specifications

The round baler is designed solely for normal agricultural

use (operation in accordance with specifications).

Any use of the machine for other purposes is deemed to be

not in accordance with specifications. The manufacturer

bears no responsibility for any resulting damage; such use

is entirely at the operator´s risk.

Use in accordance with specifications also includes

adherence to the operating, maintenance and service

instructions prescribed by the manufacturer.

The round baler must only be used, maintained and repaired

by personnel who are acquainted with the machine and

have been informed of the dangers involved.

The applicable accident prevention regulations and all other

generally recognized safety, health and road traffic

regulations must be adhered to.

Any unauthorized alterations to the machine render any

liability for damage undertaken by the manufacturer null and

void.

II. General

7

21.Only switch on equipment when all protective devices

are fitted and in protection position!

22.Persons are not allowed to enter the working area!

23.Keep clear of the area of rotation and swing of the

equipment!

24.Hydraulic controls must only be operated if no persons

are in the swing area!

25.Power operated parts (e.g. by hydraulics) contain danger

points which can cause injury by bruising and,

grazing!

26.Make sure that no personnel go between the tractor and

the implement unless the tractor is protected from rolling

by the parking brake and/or wheel blocks!

Trailed implements

1. Secure the implement against unintentional move-

ments.

2. Do not exceed the maximum load permissible on the

3-point linkage, drawbar or hitch.

3. In the case of trailed implements sufficient freedom

of motion must be provided at the hitch point.

6. Always ensure correct assembly and guarding of the

P.T.O. shaft!

7. Protect the P.T.O. shaft guard from rotating with the

shaft by fitting the chains!

8. Before switching on the power take-off shaft, make sure

that the p.t.o. speed of the tractor matches the permitted

speed of the implement!

9. When using the travel PTO shaft, take into account that

the shaft speed is dependent upon the speed of travel

and the direction of rotation is reveresed when the

tractor reverses.

10.Before switching on the power take-off shaft, make sure

that nobody is in the danger area of the implement!

11.Never switch on the power take off shaft when the tractor

engine is turned off!

12.Any work on the power take-off shaft may only be carried

out when nobody is in the area of the rotating power take-

off shaft or P.T.O. shaft.

13.The power take-off shaft should always be turned off

when the angle is too great or the p.t.o. shaft is not

required!

14.Danger! Working elements continue to rotate after the

power take-off shaft is turned off! Do not approach the

machine during this time! Work may only be carried out

on the machine when the machine is fully stationary and

the rotating parts have been secured by the parking

brake.

15.Cleaning, lubrication or adjustment of the P.T.O. shaft

or any equipment driven by the power take-off shaft may

only be carried out when the P.T.O. shaft and the engine

are turned off and the ignition key has been removed!

Rotating parts must be secured with the parking brake.

16.Place the detached P.T.O. shaft on the support bracket

provided!

17.After removing the P.T.O. shaft, place the protective

cover on the stub of the power take-off shaft!

18.Any damage must be repaired immediately before any

work is carried out with the attachment!

Power take-off shaft operation

1. Only the P.T.O. shafts prescribed by the manufacturer

may be used!

2. Both male and female guard tubes and cones of all

P.T.O. shafts must be fitted and in good condition!

3. Observe the tube overlap prescribed for P.T.O. shafts in

transport and operating position!

4. Before installing or removing the P.T.O. shafts, make

sure to turn off the power take-off shaft and the engine,

and remove the ignition key!

5. When using P.T.O. shafts with overload or free wheel

clutches that are not covered by the guards on the

tractor, the overload or free wheel clutches must be fixed

on the implement side!

8

4. When there are functional hydraulic connections

between the machine and the implement, all coupling

sleeves and plugs must be marked to prevent operating

errors. If the connections are switched, the functions

are reversed (e.g. lifting and lowering) – this can

cause accidents!

5. Hydraulic hoses must be checked regularly, and they

must be replaced if they are damaged or worn.

Replacement hoses must conform to the technical

requirements of the implement manufacturer!

6. When tracing leaks, suitable aids should be used

to prevent injury!

7. Fluid leaking under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can

penetrate the skin and cause serious injury! When

injury occurs, consult a doctor immediately! Danger of

infection!

8. Before carrying out any work on the hydraulic sys-

tems, lower the pick-up to the ground, depressurize

the system and turn off the engine!

Tyres

1. When working on the tyres, make sure that the

machine is safely supported and can not roll (wheel

blocks).

2. Fitting of wheels and tyres requires sufficient

knowledge and correct equipment!

3. Repair work to tyres and wheels must only be carried

out by specialist personnel, and only with the correct

equipment!

4. The tyre pressure must be checked regularly! The

recommended pressure must be adhered to!

Hydraulic System

1. The hydraulic system is pressurized!

2. When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors,

make sure that the hydraulic hoses are correctly

coupled!

3. When connecting hydraulic hoses to the tractor´s

hydraulic system, make sure that all pressure has

been released from the hydraulics of both the tractor

and the implement!

Maintenance

1. Repair, maintenance and cleaning work and the

correction of malfunctions must always be carried out

only when the drive is turned off and the engine is at

a standstill! Remove the ignition key! Apply the parking

brake.

2. Nuts and bolts must be checked regularly for tightness,

and tightened if necessary!

3. When carrying out maintenance work on the machine

in a lifted position, it must always be supported on

suitable jacks.

4. When replacing fittings that contain cutting blades,

always use suitable tools and gloves!

5. Oil, grease and filters must be correctly disposed of!

6. The power supply must always be disconnected before

any work is carried out on the electrical system!

7. If protective devices are subject to wear, they must be

checked regularly and replaced in good time!

8. When electric welding is carried out on the tractor and

any fitted attachments, the cables must be dis-

connected from the generator and battery!

9. Replacement parts must conform at least to the

technical requirements defined by the manufacturer!

The best guarantee is to use only original KRONE

parts!

10.Where gases are stored, only refill with nitrogen.

Danger of explosion!

1.3 Working Methods and Operating Principles of the KR 130 und KR 160

Round Balers

The round baler compresses crops such as hay, straw, grass silage etc. into round bales. On completion of the baling

procedure the bale is wrapped with twine, net or synthetic foil, depending on the type of wrapping material selected.

Due to their form, the round bales have good storage properties, can be transported simply and can be processed

further with ease.

The working method can be described as follows:

The crop is collected into a swath and taken in by the pick up, transported to the centre by the augers (only for wide

pick ups) and enters the bale chamber via the transport roller. In the bale chamber the crop is turned by the rotating

roller panel and rolled up. A roller-shaped round bale forms as the crop continues to enter. The bale becomes

increasingly compressed as more crop is fed into the round baler. Volume and baling pressure gauges are located on

the left and right in the front side of the baler for the corresponding side of the bale. A soon as the set baling pressure

on the baling pressure preselection gauge is reached, the wrapping process is started. Depending on the type of

equipment, the wrapping process can be started hydraulically or mechanically by hand using an actuating cord. On

completion of the wrapping process, the final round bale is transported through the open tail gate out of the round

baler and set down. The idle time during use can be reduced when closing the tail gate, due to the special design of

the bale ejector as a straw trap. This increases the efficiency of the round baler.

• Always switch off the PTO shaft when undertaking maintenance, care and repair work.

• Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.

• Only use PTO shafts specified by the manufacturer which have an appropriate overload

coupling.

• Only attach and detach the PTO shaft when the drive shaft is switched off, the engine is

switched off and the ignition key has been removed!

• Lay hydraulic hoses, electric cables and synthetic cords such that they are not under

tension and do not come into contact with the tractor wheels when driving round

corners.

• Take particular care on and around the tractor and the round baler when attaching

and detaching the round baler!

2. Preparing the Round Baler

2.1 Special Notes on Safety

The maximum drive speed for the round baler is 540 rpm.

Switch off the PTO shaft as soon as the round baler jams.

2.2 Adapting the Swinging Drawbar to the Tractor

The swinging drawbar on the round baler is designed for the various methods of attaching (above in three-point

linkage; below e.g. swinging drawbar). It must be mounted and adjusted in accordance with the different attachment

options for the tractor.

When mounting anything on the swinging drawbar always observe the following:

• The teeth in the slots must be in the same position on both sides of the swinging drawbar.

• First tighten the screw in the round holes. Make sure that the teeth in the slots mesh.

• Only then should the screws in the slots be tightened.

• Before starting work park the round baler on firm ground. Secure from rolling away.

• Particular care is required when attaching the round baler to the tractor. Make sure that

there is nobody in the danger area round the tractor and round baler.

• After attaching successfully, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.

• Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away.

Attachment

Height Adjustment of the Swinging

Drawbar

• Attach the round baler.

• Leave the machine on the jack

stands (4).

• Loosen the fastening screws (3) - do

not take them out.

• Bring the machine into the specified

position by turning on the jack

stands.

• Tighten up the screws in the order

described above.

Mount the swinging drawbar (1) in the upper attachment

holes in the brackets (2) on the front cross carrier. The

height adjustment of the swinging drawbar is made as

described below in this chapter.

Rotate the swinging drawbar (1) through 180 degrees

about the lateral axis and mount it in the lower holes in

the brackets (2).

For optimum crop collection by the pick up, the round

baler must be attached horizontally to the tractor, if

necessary tilted forwards slightly. A corresponding fine

adjustment of the swinging drawbar (1) can be made at

the slots (2). This adjustment can be made while the

baler is coupled to the tractor.

2.3 Adapting the PTO Shaft

Attach the round baler to the tractor to adapt the length

of the PTO shaft. The PTO shaft is at its shortest when

going round tight corners. To measure, take the PTO

shaft apart and and slide the two halves (1) and (2) on

to the machine and the tractor. The exact procedure for

adapting the length can be found in the PTO shaft

manufacturer's operating instructions.

2.4 Cleaning and Checking the Double Twine Guide Starter Rollers

Before working on the starter rollers, switch off the PTO shaft, switch off the engine and

remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away.

The starter rollers are wrapped in adhesive tape to

protect them from corrosion. Remove the adhesive tape

and clean the rollers of any residual adhesive. The

pressure rollers (3) must be able to be rotated easily.

Turn the drive roller (1) to check. If the pressure rollers

do not rotate or only rotate with difficulty, refer to the

notes in the chapter "Care and Maintenance".

• Before working on the PTO shaft, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.

• Secure the tractor together with the round baler from rolling away.

• When adapting the PTO shaft there must be nobody between the tractor and the round

baler.

2.5 Adjusting the Height of the Wheel

Hubs

• Park the round baler on firm ground

and secure from rolling away with

wheel chocks.

• To jack up the round baler, use a

suitable jack and jack stands.

• Risk of crushing from falling

components.

For adaption to different tyre sizes and working

conditions, the height of the wheel hubs can be

adjusted on both sides of the round baler.

To adapt: • Take off the tyres (make sure to observe

the "Tyres" section in the chapter "Care

and Maintenance").

• Loosen the fastening screws (2) in the

flange plate (1), take it out and re-attach the

flange plate in a different position.

• Tighten up the screws again (tightening

moments are listed in the chapter "Care

and Maintenance").

• Particular care is required on and

around the tractor and the round

baler when attaching and detaching

the round baler!

• Observe the tractor's maximum

permissable supported and trailer

loads .

2.6 Putting the Round Baler into Operation

Attach the round baler to the attachment device, e.g. to

the attachment linkage (1), and secure as directed.

Attach the actuating cord (2) to the tractor. Make sure

that the actuating cord is not under tension and does

not come into contact with the tyres when driving round

corners.

This also applies for bottom attachment, not shown

here.
