Across its chapters, this operating manual delivers far more than a basic start-up guide. It provides the complete procedures for configuring the ISOBUS terminal, setting bale length and baling pressure, adjusting the knotter and needle geometry, regulating the Variable Filling System, and diagnosing faults through the terminal’s sensor and actuator test menus. Hydraulic circuit diagrams, tightening torques, maintenance intervals, and lubrication charts are all included, alongside detailed instructions for blade changing, drive chain tensioning, tyre care, and seasonal storage. The supplement extends coverage to the Medium Plus and Comfort Plus electronics packages, so the manual remains relevant across the full range of machine configurations.

What This Manual Enables You to Do

With this manual on hand, you can confidently handle the full scope of work the BiG Pack 1290 HDP II demands. That includes:

• Correctly hitch and commission the baler, including drawbar height adjustment, drive train alignment, and universal shaft shortening
• Configure the KRONE ISOBUS terminal for your specific electronics version, set bale length, target baling pressure or force, and MultiBale counts
• Thread twine, adjust twine brakes, and set the knotter, needles, and twine bar to specification
• Set the pick-up working height, guide wheel ground pressure, and roller crop guide for different crop conditions
• Adjust the Variable Filling System and packer timing for consistent bale shape and density
• Perform all scheduled maintenance — oil changes, filter replacement, chain tension checks, lubrication, tyre pressure, and brake checks
• Diagnose and resolve common malfunctions, from knotter faults and twine issues to hydraulic and electrical problems
• Use the terminal’s sensor and actuator tests to pinpoint faulty components
• Prepare the machine for road travel and seasonal storage correctly

The value of having the manufacturer’s own procedures is straightforward: these are expensive, high-output machines, and incorrect settings or missed maintenance quickly translate into poor bale quality, damaged components, or unplanned downtime. The manual removes the guesswork from every adjustment.

Who This Manual Is For

This operating instructions manual is written for the operators, mechanics, and service technicians who work with the BiG Pack 1290 HDP II and 1290 HDP II XC. It assumes a basic familiarity with agricultural machinery and safe working practices, and it is structured so that both day-to-day operators and workshop staff can find what they need quickly. The safety chapter and the maintenance chapters are particularly valuable for anyone new to the machine, while the terminal menus and settings chapters serve as ongoing references for experienced users.
