Page 6: Operation
• When the season is over, always clean off any feed material and wash machine. • Fully grease. • Apply a covering of oil to the chains prior to storage otherwise some links may seize up while not in • Have both rams in the closed positions and if any of the chrome shaft is showing put grease onto that area. - Page 7 you find the best position for you. The heaviest bale we have loaded weighed 1,300kg so there is heaps 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 8 FEEDING OUT As our Bale Feeders will operate from either side, there is no need to concern yourself which way you place the bale in the cradle. While feeding out, if the bale is hard to start or while it is unrolling the bale slows down, put more revs on the tractor to speed up the bale feeder.
