OPERATION
Models P-6810, P-6812 & P-6816 only.
1) First familiarize yourself with the controls and
their fonctions. (Figure 16)
2) Remember that the Round Bale Handler is
designed and built to turn the bales and load them
non stop, consequently, the direction of travel will
usualy be the same as the baler's.
3) When ready for the first bale, lower the loading
arm to just a few inches above the ground, slow
down this is a practice round, line up the machine
so that the outer corner of the bale will touch at
approximately 1/3 to 1/2 way up the angled part of
the outer arm. (Figure 17)
4) Raise the loading arm as soon or slightly before
the bale reaches the bottom of the "
U
". (Figure 18)
5) Keep raising the bale until it drops onto the
platform. Do the same for loading the second row.
Then start lowering the loading arm in order to
disengage the limit switch (there is a limit switch
installed on the machine, preventing the bale ram
and the dumping platform from being activated if
the loading arm isn't lowered enough).
Models P-6810, P-6812 & P-6816 only.
6) Momentarily actuate the ram control lever
(ram switch in the "AUTO" position). The ram
will index the two bales toward the rear and
will automatically return to the front position.
7) Once accustomed to the machine and its operation,
you will notice that by slightly altering the
alignment of the bale relative to the outside
loading arm, you will be able to turn it and load it
much more rapidly. In this case, the bale should
hit the loading arm slightly closer to the heel.
