Krone Comprima V 150 XC service schedule

1. Park the baler level, stop the PTO and the tractor engine, take the key out and apply the brakes.
2. Take the locking screw out of the inspection and filling hole on the side of the main gearbox.
3. The oil should come up to the hole. If it does, refit the screw and tighten it to the torque in the handbook.
4. If the oil is low, top up through the same hole until it reaches the hole, then refit the screw.

Tools: Spanner or socket for the level plug, Funnel, Clean rags

1. Read the oil level on the reservoir and top up through the opening if low.
2. If the reservoir ran empty, top it up, take the hose off the pump connection until oil runs out, refit it, open the bleed screw and pump by hand until oil flows from the control block without bubbles, then close the screw.
3. To change the filter, wait until the reservoir is mostly empty, take off the cover, lift out the filter, fit a new one, refit the cover and refill.
4. For a blocked dosing unit, undo the cap nut, take the dosing unit out of the distributor block, remove the cap, take out the spring and shut-off valve, clean them (not the rubber seals with strong cleaner), then refit hand-tight.
5. The distributor blocks are on the right and left behind the front side hoods.

Tools: Clean funnel, Spanners, Cleaning agent (not strong on rubber seals), Rags

1. Stop the PTO and engine, take the key out and secure the baler.
2. Wipe each nipple clean. Give two strokes of the grease gun per nipple and wipe off the surplus.
3. Where the chart shows a brush symbol, remove the old grease and put on a thin new coat with a brush.
4. Follow the lubrication chart in your handbook for the exact positions (illustrated pages 188 to 190 of the handbook).
5. Krone says to shorten the intervals in heavy or extreme conditions.

Tools: Grease gun, Rags, Brush

1. Stop the PTO and engine, take the key out and secure the baler.
2. Wipe each 50-hour nipple clean and give two strokes of the grease gun.
3. Wipe off the surplus grease.
4. Take the exact points from your handbook's lubrication chart.

Tools: Grease gun, Rags

1. Stop the engine, take the key out and disconnect the PTO shaft from the tractor and baler.
2. Clean the shaft and read the PTO shaft maker's handbook.
3. Grease each point with the quantity shown in Krone's table: 18 g for the first point every 50 hours, and 30 g, 20 g and 6 g for the other points.
4. Check the guards for wear and damage and replace any that are damaged.

Tools: Grease gun, Rags

1. Park on level ground with the PTO off and the baler secured.
2. Retighten the wheel nuts crosswise to the torque in the spec list for your nut size. Do it once after the first 10 hours, then every 50 hours.
3. Check the tyre pressures against the table in your handbook (it is in the technical data chapter).
4. Look for cuts and bulges.

Tools: Torque wrench, Tyre pressure gauge, Tyre inflator

1. Park the baler level, stop the PTO and the tractor engine, take the key out and apply the brakes.
2. Put a tray under the gearbox. Take out the filling hole screw and then the drain screw on the underside.
3. Let the oil drain, then refit the drain screw.
4. Pour in fresh oil through the filling hole until it reaches the hole.
5. Refit the filling screw and tighten it to the handbook torque.
6. Do the first change after the first 50 hours on a new machine, then every 500 hours.

Tools: Drain tray (5 L), Spanner or socket for the plugs, Funnel, Gloves

1. Lower the pick-up, open the tailgate, move the blade cassette to the maintenance position and stop the engine.
2. Wear gloves. Unlock the blade retaining shaft and take the blades out.
3. Clamp each blade in a vice and grind it. Wear gloves, goggles and ear protection. Do not overheat the blade or cut notches in it: short bursts are better than long ones.
4. Touch up serrated blades with a suitable tool.
5. Check the safety rolls turn smoothly and grease them if they do not.
6. Refit the blades, then set the stone deflectors 5 to 10 mm from the bale formation conveyor.

Tools: Cut-resistant gloves, Goggles, Vice, Grinder, Spanners

1. Open the tailgate, secure it with the stop cock and stop the engine.
2. Check the rear bale formation conveyor for wear, damage and position.
3. Adjust as the handbook says, and check again after the first 10 hours of a new machine.
4. Do it every 1,000 bales.

Tools: Spanners, Rule

1. Check the main gearbox and the chain lubrication oil levels.
2. Adjust the drive chains, tighten the screws and nuts, retighten the wheel nuts and check the tyre pressures.
3. Clean the bushing and drawbar eye and change the filter on the central chain lubrication system.
4. Lubricate the safety rolls of the single-blade lock and drain condensation from the compressed air tanks of the air brake.
5. Prepare the brake disc of the wrapping material brake.
6. Lubricate the machine as the lubrication chart says, run a tying cycle and check every function, check the hydraulic hoses and clean the deflection pipes or the conical tying roller.
7. Check the electrical cables and have any faults repaired by a Krone service partner.

Tools: Torque wrench, Grease gun, Tyre gauge

1. Clean the machine. Keep high-pressure water away from bearings, electrics and valves.
2. Lubricate the machine according to the chart and the PTO shaft.
3. Grease the threads of the setting screws and drain condensation from the air tanks.
4. Clean the drive chains.
5. Grease the uncoated piston rods of all hydraulic cylinders and retract them as far as possible.
6. Lightly oil lever joints and bearing points that cannot be greased and protect the brake disc of the wrapping material brake from corrosion.
7. Touch up damaged paint and protect bare areas with rust protection agent.
8. Check everything moves freely. Park the machine in a dry, weatherproof place away from corrosive substances and protect the tyres from oil, grease and sunlight.

Tools: Cleaning equipment, Grease gun, Oil can, Touch-up paint, Rust protection agent
