Bale King will provide you with years of trouble free operation. This is a complete safety, operation and parts manual for the Bale King 8200. The manual covers in detail how to safely and effectively use your new processor. The procedures outlined in this manual should be followed to ensure safe operation and longevity of your machine.
The operator must obey all safety labels and must maintain the proper shielding. A high percentage of drive-line injuries occur when safety shielding is missing or not functioning properly. DANGER: Contact with a rotating drive-line can cause serious injury or death. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.

Discharge DANGER: Do not stand on the discharge side of the machine while it is in operation. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.

Rear Fork Lift Area DANGER: Stand clear of lift area. Do not stand under the forks unless safety locks are installed. Deflector Safety Lock: Unlock for Operation, Lock for Transport and Storage. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
1000 RPM. The processor must not run at any speed less than 1000 PTO RPM as it may result in the flails springing back against the rotor after they come in contact with the bale. This “backslap” Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.

PTO shaft shield. This can be done by loosing the bolt on top of the plastic hose clamp, then pushing or pulling on the hoses to adjust the length, and retightening the bolt. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.

PTO shaft. Storage: When not in use, cover or protect the drive shaft from the weather. When removed from the machine store both halves together to prevent damage. Check all components for proper function and lubrication before use. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.

• Remove the nylon bearing from the shaft by spreading it open. Shield Assembly: • Be sure to lubricate the groove in the inner yokes where the shield bearing rides. Reinstall shields in the reverse order that they were removed. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Short Blue Lowers rear fork, wing or deflector Always set the tractor's hydraulic flow at a lower rate and adjust it upward until the desired speed is reached. Excessive oil flow may damage the flow divider cartridge Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
• DO NOT install the insert if using a tractor with a hammer strap as this will bend the hitch pin NOTE: Make sure that the jack in on the outside stub for lifting, and the inside stub during transport. DO NOT lift the machine with the jack on the inside stub. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
The wing also needs to be lowered slightly to load a round bale into the tub. The wing should be raised completely, with the cylinder safety lock installed, for transport or any service work. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Support the hoops externally to prevent injury. NOTE: Upper grate position should be approximately 1/4” flail recession. Lower grate position should allow 1-1/2” flail protrusion. Contact your Bale King dealer if this cannot be achieved. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Deflector The Bale King 8200 is equipped with a hydraulic side deflector to change the discharge distance and distribution. It also comes with a flipping rubber flap for superior control of the spread pattern. Moving the deflector to the down position and flipping the rubber down (above left) will allow the hay to be laid in a windrow, or bunk feeder.

The Bale King 8200 deflector comes with the additional feature of adjustable width: • First move the deflector to its lowest position. • Remove the seven bolts (2 front, 3 top, 2 rear) connecting the inner and outer deflector pieces.
Page 18
Be sure that the outer deflector fits nicely outside the tub walls. Some fine tuning may be required. Replace the bolts on the front and back in the available holes as shown. The deflector should now fit inside the width of the wings. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Turning bales too fast can result in rotor overloading resulting in flail “backslap” which in turn causes flail and bushing damage. High agitator speed may also cause damage to the hydraulic motors and excessive twine and material buildup on the agitators. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Loading Bales The Bale King 8200 is designed to process both round and square bales. The same procedure is to be followed for loading either type of bale. • Position the tractor and the Bale King so as to be lined up to back straight into the row of bales.
Optional Fine Chop Kit The Bale King 8200 processor has an optional fine chop knife kit available to be installed in the lower tub area. This option is available if you require a finer cut on the material which you are processing such as slough hay and silage bales.

The gear box requires GL5 80W90 gear oil. The oil should be filled to the level plug and checked on a regular basis. Oil change interval • 25 hours after first use • 50 hours after first use • Every 300 hours or annually (whichever comes first) Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Note: Warranty does not cover damaged rims and hubs due to loose wheel bolts or flat tires. Tire warranty is covered by the tire manufacturer. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
• Loose straw and hay remaining in the machine may ignite causing a fire in the processor. • Excessive buildup of melted plastic. • Dry out bushings causing them to wear prematurely. NOTE: Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc. VOIDS warranty for any damage caused by twine burning in the processor. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Inspect the bolt, bushing, and the flail for wear. If wear is excessive, replace with new parts. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc. recommends when changing flails to change in PAIRS (opposite each other). Processing bales with broken flails causes the rotor to be out of balance and excessive vibration may cause machine deterioration.
Transportation The Bale King 8200 can be safely towed on public roads, provided the following precautions are met: • Tow vehicle must be rated for at least 4700 lb gross weight, and 1600 lb tongue weight. • NEVER exceed 40 km/h (25 mph).
