DO NOT RUN PUSHER ALL THE WAY TO
THE END, THE RESULTING SHOCK LOAD
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO DRIVESHAFT
OF THE CABLE DRUM AND CABLE.
If PUSHER requires excessive force to
unload bales we recommend that the top of
the CARRIER BEAMS and GUIDE RAIL be
painted with a graphite paint such as Slip
Paint
TM
.
The BALE RETAINERS attached to the rear
of the CARRIER BEAMS are designed to
prevent the rear bale from sliding off during
transport. Removing the retainers will slightly
reduce the amount of force needed to unload
the bales.
Additional torque may be obtained by
replacing the 14 tooth DRIVE SPROCKET
with the 11 tooth #60 – 1” bore sprocket
provided (the 11 tooth sprocket is stored on
the LEFT HITCH BEAM). This will provide
approximately 20% greater torque to CABLE
DRUM and may be necessary if tractor
pressure is low. NOTE: To install the 11 tooth
sprocket it will be necessary to remove a “off
set” chain link from the pusher drive chain.
