6.0 Adjustments
6.3 Stacking Adjustments
Tensioner cable adjustments
The cables should be adjusted as they leave the factory and
are unlikely to need any further attention. However, if a
cable is damaged then it will require replacement.
See Fig. 80
1. Position the fork trollies so that the pivot pins are equally
positioned against the stops provided.
2. Position the pulley beam assembly (2) in its most
rearward position and squarely in contact with the central
clamp beam (1) or stops.
3. Adjust the cables connecting the trollies to the central
clamp beam (1) so that they are all equally tensioned.
4. In this position the tensioner cylinder (3) should be fully
closed and both cables connecting the pulley beam (2) to
the tensioner unit should be equally tensioned.

6.4 Use of Forks
For the purpose of delivery, the forks are bolted to the
clamp beam by 12mm bolts. If the forks are required, then
these bolts must be removed and saved. It will be
necessary to use the forks if the first layer of bales is
required to be stacked vertically (ie. not turned) or if the
bales are relatively flat and not sufficiently stable when
placed on their sides. The forks may be left bolted down if
the first layer of bales are turned onto their sides and are of
sufficient depth (ie. 800mm or more). It may also be
desirable to secure the forks during extensive use as a
stack mover.
6.2 Pickup Height Adjustment
To adjust the pickup height proceed as follows:
1. Stop the machine on level flat ground, in a straight line.
Apply the trailer parking brake.
2. Switch off electrics and neutralise hydraulics. Ensure the
pickup latch is locking the pickup in position.
3. Adjust pick up height hydraulically using cab controls.
4. Pull the pins that lock the pickup in position (Fig. 79) .
5. Raise or lower the pickup to the required height.
6. Replace the pins to resume latch function.
7. Remove the trailer parking brake.
The position and number of tines can also be changed.
Generally speaking bales up to 300 Kg will require 2 tines
only. Bales up to 600 Kg will require 4 tines. Position the
tines so they penetrate just above the centre of the bale.
