4.3 Adjusting the bale guides and bale guide roller
Once the bale guides have been adjusted, the trailer
may be too wide to comply with road transport
regulations.
Always follow the rules of the road.
The two bale guides on each side of the trailer prevent bales from falling out when they are being
loaded and transported. The bale guides must be adjusted to the dimensions of the bales being
transported. There must be 15 cm (6 in.) of space between each bale guide and bale.
The bale guide roller is located near the loading arm and protects bales to ensure that their
wrappers do not rip when they are loaded.
To adjust the bale guides and bale guide roller:
1. Remove the cotter pins and locks from the bale guides and bale guide roller (see Figure 11).
2. Put the cotter pins and locks in the desired position, A or B (see Table 5).
