DURING THE SEASON
1. At the end of each day of operation park the bale carrier in a clean, dry, sheltered area.
2. Lubricate areas requiring daily lubrication.
3. Remove any build up of hay or straw.
BALE STORAGE
1. Bale rows should be placed in an open, flat and well-drained area. If possible, place the bales
with their ends parallel to the prevailing wind (this means that the wind will travel in the same
direction as the twine wraps). The area should have safe and easy access for bale handling and
transportation equipment.
WARNING: Take all necessary steps to prevent children or unauthorized personnel
from entering storage area. Keep a fire extinguisher handy because of the
flammable nature of the baled material.
2. Use caution when retrieving or stacking bales. Do not stack bales carelessly off-center or
position them where they may tip or roll over. Do not extend bale-lifting equipment beyond its
capacity or move more bales than the equipment is designed for.
