the loading fork is against the inner edge of the bale. The bale will then be loaded onto the
carrier in the same direction as it was picked up.
• The deflector rotates the bale 90 before it is lifted up onto the carrier. Forward travel is used
to rotate the bale. Approach the bale so that the outer end of the bale rides up on the bale
deflector as the loading arm moves under the bale.
• The bale is loaded onto the carrier deck by depressing and holding RH LIFT ARM UP until the
bale rolls off the pickup arm and onto the carrier beams.
NOTE: The bale should be contacted about 12" (30
cm) from its outer end when using the bale deflector.
Contacting the bale further to the inside may result in
damage to the deflector, bale lift arm or bale.
• The rotating pick up arm (RPU) loads bales “side on”. The
lift arm starts in the lowered position. Drive forward until
the forks are positioned around the ends of the bale with
the inside stationary fork as close as possible to the bale.
Depress and hold lift arm up. The bale is then squeezed on
end until the pressure matches the sequence valve setting
that rotates and raises the bale.
When the bale is lifted above, the bale is released by
depressing lift arm down. This releases the bale and
returns the RPU to the ready state for the next bale. Refer
to the assembly instructions for adjusting RPU’s settings.
Optional Bale Stop (815692)
• When loading narrower bales (4'), an adjustable bale stop is
available. Using this stop permits loading bales closer to the
front of the bale carrier so a full complement of 10 bales can
be loaded. This stop is bolted to the lift arm with supplied
U-Bolts and is adjusted to the position desired.
Bale Pusher Operation
NOTE: Lower loading arm before operating the pusher.
CAUTION
To avoid misbalanced loads the operator is only required to
push back one bale length to prepare for the next bale.
• Depress and hold pusher back and move bales far enough to the rear to provide room to load
the next bale.
• Return pusher all the way to the front by depressing and holding pusher forward.
• Hi speed / low torque mode is recommended for normal use.
• Low speed / high torque mode is for heavier payloads or situations where bales are wet or
resist sliding.
