GREASING The following is the number of greasing points on our multi bale feeder. Multi bale feeder unit grease nipples: 4 Cradles, 8 Lifting Arms, 1 Swivel, 1 Jack, 4 Hubs, 2 Walking Beams, 2 Drive Shafts, 2 Rear Idlers... - Page 8 LIFTING ARMS Greasing the lifting arms is very important to keep the machinery working correctly. If you find the second arm does not come back fully to the loading position, put some more grease into it. That will fix it the majority of the time. If you find you cannot stop the bale from falling into the cradle, the most common problem is air in the circuit.

Page 9: Loading The Bale
It pays to check if there is material around this area when at the back of the machine when cutting the plastic or net. This problem is more common when feeding square bales. To operate the cradle the frame needs to be moved forward 50mm. When pushing the bales forward over the cradle slats, have the yellow slat in the top right hand position as marked on the bale feeder frames. - Page 10 position for you. The heaviest bale we have loaded weighed 1,300kg so there is a lot of power in the ram. To get the forks out of the bale, reverse the oil flow and the main ram will lower down while the smaller ram will go into a float action.

- Page 14 we recommend you only adjust one valve at one time, then test the operation again. We also recommend that when adjusting the valves, screw them in or out 1/2 a turn at a time and retest. This can make a big difference depending on the oil flow and the weight of the bale.
- Page 15 On Multi Bale Feeders, this problem can also occur with tightly formed or dry bales. In these cases we recommend you remove the middle tine and operate with only the two outside tines fitted.
