Alternating stack levels
Maintaining your
Attachment
Before Every Use
Check that all fasteners (nuts, bolts,
pins, keepers) are in their right place
and are tight.
Inspect and replace any worn, torn or
missing safety decals.
Investigate the location of any oil leaks
and repair.
Every Week
Check the condition of the grapple
tines. Order parts if any tines are
damaged and replace as soon as
possible.
After Every Season
Inspect the implement for any loose or
worn parts that may need to be
replaced prior to the next excavating
season.
Clean, sand & repaint any area that
looks worn or scratched to prevent
rusting. Use an equipment-paint found
at your local hardware store or
building center.
14. Before transporting bales on a
roadway, secure the bale stack to
the transporter vehicle according
to State or local law.
Hazardous dust
can be generated if painted surfaces
are heated or welded and could result
in death or Serious Injury. Remove
paint before welding and always
make repairs in a well-ventilated area
and wear an approved respirator.
Replace any warning decals that have
been lost or damaged.
Store your implement in a shed or
cover with a water-proof tarp to
protect it from the weather. Store in
an area not frequented by children.
