INSTALLATION
To prepare your bale carrier to receive the
bagger, release cable tension and attach the
two SKID HOOKS using 1/2” x 1-1/4” bolts.
Attach the LOCKING PLATE to the rear
crossmember using U CLAMPS. Also install
the special SLIDE RAILS (optional) on the
bale carrier to reduce friction from damp
bales.
If method one or two is used, attach SKID and
BAG DRUM assembly to bale carrier. Back
up the unit and lower the rear end of the
carrier, engage the SKID HOOKS, drive
forward and install SKID LOCK PIN at the
LOCKING PLATE. LOCKING PLATE should
be centered so that holes for the LOCK PIN
will be in line.
Install PUSHER EXTENSION assembly over
the existing pusher on the bale carrier and
lock in place with the PUSHER LOCK PLATE
which is attached to the PUSHER
EXTENSION SWIVEL. Put PUSHER
EXTENSION in the upright position making
sure that the spring loaded LOCK PIN is
engaged.
