Handling bales and pallets:
For safe handling of bales and pallets please follow procedures below:
WARNING
Do not operate A – Frame for bales without the stabilizers.
With a single spear, enter one of the ends of
the bale and drive the spear horizontally into
the center or slightly above center of the bale
and fully penetrate the bale. Then rollback
the bucket cylinders approximately three
quarters of the cylinder stroke and lift bale
approximately a foot off the ground.
With the double or four spears enter the bale
from one of the ends and drive the spear one
third to one half the way up, from the bottom
and fully penetrate the bale. Then rollback
the bucket cylinders approximately three
quarters of the cylinder’s stroke and lift bale
approximately 12.0” off the ground.
CAUTION
Never attempt to use the spears as forks, as the spears can easily penetrate the
ground causing a spear to bend or break as well as making the bale unstable to
carry. Never attempt to handle a bale with only part of the spear(s) penetrated
The nut on the bale spear must be torqued to 500 ft.-lbs. Check the torque
periodically. A loose spear will damage the spear holder.
