machine to protect it. It is not normal to shear multiple bolts during normal use. If this
happens, contact you Ibex Equipment dealer for assistance.
 PTO shafts are supplied at a standard length that is enough to fit tractors of all sizes, so
your shaft may need to be cut to length. See the included PTO Shaft Cutting Guide for
further details.
 The machine comes with a 9V battery that powers the bale chamber full alarm. The
battery is inside a battery box that is enclosed in a grey outer weather-proofing box as
shown in Figure 1. The battery box has a switch that is turned off by default. Before
using the machine, be sure to open the grey box, turn on the switch, and test that the
horn is getting power. You can do this by depressing the sensor switch shown in Figure
2 below.

 Never use water to clean the baler. Keep the baler sheltered from water at all times.
Water can wreak havoc on metal, especially over time. Instead, use compressed air to
blow out any loose debris, and use a broom or brush to brush away any debris that
remains. The more protected the baler is in storage, the longer it will last and the
better it will perform.
 When raking, create a windrow that is not too large and not too small for the baler.
The optimal windrow will have a width of 28-32 inches and a height of 12-16 inches.
The more uniform the windrows, the smoother the operation will be and the more
consistent the bale weights will be.
