Maintenance
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment supported
by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break,
hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be
actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement
back into service. Serious breakdowns can result in injury
or death.
•
Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the
safety, function, performance, and life of the implement.
Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
Inspect Bale Spear
Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Daily clean and inspect Bale Spear for the following:
1.
Check Bale Spear hitch plate to make sure it is still
properly attached to the tractor or skid steer hitch.
2. Clean Bale Spear of dirt, grease, and trash to assist
visual inspection.
3. Always remove any material that has become
entangled in the spears and/or spikes before
continuing to use it.
4. After using your Bale Spear to lift a few bales, check
spears and spikes to make sure eccentric nuts and
bolts are tight.
5. Check to make sure the spears are not damaged,
broken, or worn excessively. Repair or replace as
needed.
6. Check to make sure the frame is not cracked or
broken. Repair or replace as needed.
7.
Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety
labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride
dealer.

Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the attachment when storing it for long periods and at the
end of the season. This will help ensure the unit is ready
for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
1.
Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the Bale Spear. Scrape off
compacted dirt and then wash its surface thoroughly
with a garden hose.
2. Inspect Bale Spear for loose, damaged, or worn
parts and adjust or replace when needed.
3. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol
touch-up paint. They are also available in touch-up
bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding
TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
4. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
5. Store Bale Spear on a level surface in a clean, dry
place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and
make for a longer life.
6. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 10 when
disconnecting tractor or skid steer from the Bale
Spear.
7.
Do not allow children to play on or around the stored
Bale Spear.
