Adoption of big package haying systems has been very rapid, largely because of the major labour savings it provides. Along with the big bale bene- fits have come a number of haz- ards. The equipment used for large bale formation and handling harbours familiar dangers that are associated with all farm machin- ery. Round balers do feature some unique hazards, and the horse- power involved is usually greater than was required with more tra- ditional, small, square baling sys- ems. ' However, the biggest risk -- and the one responsible for most of the serious injuries and deaths -- is the physical nature of the balers themselves. A compact , nests, and other debris. Lubricate according tp manufacturgr's specs. VCheck for loose or missing nuts, screws, guards, or damaged pickup teeth. Replace missing guards and shields, Inspect all belts and chains for evidence of wear or breakage. Belt tension should be matched to pre- vent slippage, which can gause plugging and damage due to heat build-up. Before replacing a belt, or chain, consult the manual for instructions on securing the upper chain or removing load from the belt tension springs. VHydraulic hoses should be clean, in'good repair and hooked up correctly, Check the'twine feeding and cutting mechanisms for proper opgation. Also check the slip clutch, roll scraper, and rear gate latch to make sure they are adjusted and functioning according to the manufacturer's package of hay or straw weighi from 500 pounds to 1.5 tons 25 kg -- 1300 kg) definitely poses some threat to human life and limb at every stage of handling. And because some bales are round, they can roll relatively freely and will gain momentum if the path of travel is downhill. Itis every farmer's responsibil- ity to know the spetific require- ments, precautions and hazards associated with a particular opera- tion. " The manual that is provided with every piece of equipment is the primary source of information on safe, efficient operation.
