Cylinder Maintenance
The hydraulic cylinders are easily removed for repair or maintenance
simply by:
•
Lowering the fork (or deflector) to the down position and
unhooking the hydraulic lines. Be sure there is no pressure on
the lines and mark the line locations so there is no confusion
when reinstalling the cylinders. Check hydraulic schematics.
•
Removing the cotter pin closest to the frame of the machine
and sliding the cylinder pins out
•
To reinstall, reverse the removal procedure
NOTE: Always cover exposed cylinder shafts with grease to avoid rusting of shafts if the unit
is not used for extended periods of time. Rusted cylinder shafts are NOT covered by warranty
NOTE: Check all hoses and fittings periodically for leaks. Tighten or replace any dripping
components or any worn out hoses.
Implement Tongue
The new adjustable hitch on the Bale King features a cast
single tongue with hammer strap insert. This allows for use
with tractors equipped with a hammer strap or with a single
drawbar. It also allows the machine to move independently
over rough terrain without bending the draw pin.
•
Make sure that the drawbar is set to 16 inches behind
the PTO shaft for proper PTO length.
•
Adjust the hitch height to match the drawbar height and allow the machine to sit level.
•
DO NOT install the insert if using a tractor with a hammer strap as this will bend the
hitch pin
NOTE: Make sure that the jack in on the outside stub for lifting, and the inside stub during
transport. DO NOT lift the machine with the jack on the inside stub.
