Operation Gathering Bales Approaching Bales Bales are picked up on their 8 foot side. The easiest WARNING: Keep bystanders at least way to pick up bales is by driving the Bale Runner perpendicular to the path of the baler. twenty-five feet away from an operating machine or stacked hay.
Operation Gathering Bales - Continued Stair-Stepping Bales Some amount of “stair-step” is recommended to help keep the top bale secure while the load is being pushed to the back of the stacker. • After retrieving the first bale, leave the loader slightly raised while picking the second bale.
Operation Building Stacks CAUTION: Return stacker to the “in- line” position when moving between bales in field and stack. This reduces the chance of running over anybody or anything in the field. Starting Stacks 1. Choose a level area, with enough room to maneuver a tractor and Bale Runner even after the stack is finished.
Operation Stacking Bales Note: The bales should be stacked on level ground. When stacking on a slight incline, stack with the tractor facing uphill. Stacking downhill or on a slight side incline will make it difficult to build good stacks. CAUTION: Avoid overhead wires to prevent serious injury or death.

Adopt a regular maintenance and lubrication program. Care and sufficient lubrication is the best insurance against delays. Safety •...
Maintenance Tighten Bolts • Before operating the unit. • After the first two hours of operation. • Check tightness periodically thereafter. • Use Bolt Torque Chart on page 6-20 for correct values on various bolts. • Note dashes on hex heads to determine correct grade.
Maintenance Preventative Maintenance Before operating your Bale Runner carefully inspect the entire machine, and its components for any sign of excessive wear or weakness. Always follow the Daily Maintenance, General Maintenance, and Year End Maintenance Checklists to allow for early detection of possible hazards. WARNING: Always wear eye protection and proper protective clothing while performing maintenance on the Bale Runner.
Maintenance Hydraulic Pressure Relief IMPORTANT! RELIEVING HYDRAULIC PRESSURE FROM LINES Repairs to hoses and cylinders will usually require disconnecting a fitting connection. Fittings should not be disconnected until the pressure in the hydraulic circuit has been relieved. Follow this procedure to relieve pressure in the hydraulic lines.
Maintenance Daily Maintenance WARNING: After the first 100 hours of use, re-torque all wheel lug nuts. Daily Check Lubricate Lubricate all grease points with all-purpose, non-clay based grease. See “Lubrication” section for location of grease zerks. Hitch Connection Check the bolt system that connects the stacker to the tractor drawbar.
Maintenance Lubrication Points Notes: 1. Make sure hubs have oil and the plug is in the hub caps. Changing bearings is dificult and requires large size tools. 2. Grab hooks have no grease zerks. See grab hook assembly for location of plastic bushings. 3.
Maintenance General Maintenance General Check • Lug nuts should be tightened to 450-500 ft-lbs. • Bolts in axle suspension system should be tightened to the values on decal 10774 shown below. • Alignment Arm Chains should be kept tight to prevent cracking of the Loader. Check the chain tightness by visually inspecting the chains when the Loader is fully raised.
Maintenance Air Brake Maintenance Every Three Months or 25,000 Miles 1. Check the condition of the foundation brakes, including drums, shoes and linings, cams, rollers, bushings, etc. 2. Check for structural damage of the housing, worn clevis, worn clevis bushings and condition of the boot for cuts or tears.
Page 100
Maintenance Air Brake Maintenance - Continued Adjust the brakes as follows: 1. Rotate the hex extension clockwise until the brake linings contact the brake drum. Back off the slack adjuster by rotating the hex counterclockwise 1/2 turn. 2. Backing off the slack will require approximately 25 to 30 ft lbs of torque.
Maintenance Air Brake Maintenance - Continued Slack Adjuster Function Test If the maximum stroke, with an 85 psi brake application is less than the distance shown in the chart on page 6-10, the Gunite slack adjuster is functioning properly. Troubleshooting 1.
Maintenance Air Brake Maintenance - Continued FF2 Full Function Valve Fitting General Installation Guidelines 1. Dependent on sealant type, the basic guidelines for FF2 pipe fitting installation is finger tight, plus one or two turns maximum. Sealant is the variable with the greatest effect on fitting installation. Characteristics of different sealants are as follows: Teflon Pipe Sealant Teflon pipe sealant acts as a lubricant.
Maintenance Wheel Bearing Adjustment Wheel Bearing Adjustment Procedure (Double Nut Arrangement) 1. Prior to installing any wheel-end fasteners, make sure the spindle area is free of dirt and debris. As well, make sure all nuts and washers are free of dirt. Clean mating surfaces are important for proper wheel-end assembly. 2.
Maintenance Year End Maintenance Storage • Park Bale Runner on level ground. • Lock Hitch in the “in-line” position with Hitch Safety Pin. • Set Loader on the Hitch. • Relieve pressure in lines to prevent “thermal” lock. WARNING: Keep children away from the stored Bale Runner. Many of the surfaces on the machine are slippery and injuries may result from climbing on or around machine.
Maintenance Suspension Maintenance The 16k PLUS uses a Hutchens Industries trailer suspension similar to below. For detailed information visit Hutchens website resource centre at www.hutchensindustries.com. Suspension used is H-9700 underslung with 44” centers and 2 1/4” spring seat height with 5”round axles. Tandem Axle Overslung Shown Torque Specifications Item No.

Maintenance Suspension Maintenance - Continued Periodically check suspension components and torque bolts to specifications as follows especially after first using a new machine. Axle Clamp Group and Springs Check the torque on the U-bolt nuts by alternately tightening opposing corners of the clamp assembly. See Figur e 1. a.
Page 109
Maintenance Suspension Maintenance - Continued Rocker Bushings The recommended torque values for the rocker bushing clamp bolts are different for each model. a. If you are working on the 7700 model suspension, the 5/8" – 18 rocker step bolts should be tightened to a dry level of 170 lb-ft of torque.

Troubleshooting Checking Valve Solenoids To check the valve solenoids, use the following procedure. Important: Only use Manual Load or Manual Stack screens when diagnosing problems with the valve. 1. If possible, raise the loader and offset the hitch to help reduce the risk of a crash. If it is not possible, take note of the loader and hitch position and how far each may be moved before a crash will occur.
Page 126
Troubleshooting Limiting Bed Speed The speed of the bed can be limited by adjusting the stops on the valve rocker. These steps are usually used to limit the speed of the bed, but can also be used for the grab hooks or the push off if desired. Note: It is recommended that the grab hooks and push off not be limited.
