DewPoint Hookup
Check for Interference with DewPoint machine and Baler Attached
● MOVE steering hydraulic control lever or switch in tractor cab in the “Float” position. Some
tractor hydraulic systems require that you cycle this lever or switch a few times to initiate
proper operation.
●
DRIVE the tractor through several turning maneuvers to check for interferences and turn
angle limits between the tractor, the DewPoint machine and the baler including:
□ Rear tractor tires/duals and the DewPoint machine frame.
□
PTO.
□
3-point hitch.
□
Hydraulic hoses.
□
Brake and steering hoses.
□
All wire harnesses.
● LEARN your turning radius and clearance limits with all machinery attached (including accumulators if used)
•
TURNING ANGLE NOTES:
▫
In a turn, the angle between the baler and DewPoint machine will be sharper than the
angle between the tractor and the DewPoint machine.
▫
When coming out of a sharp turn quickly, the angle between the DewPoint machine and
the baler can increase dramatically. It is best to come out of sharp turns gently.
▫
Turning too sharp will cause major damage to the DewPoint machine and the baler.
▫
LEARN THE BEHAVIOR OF YOUR ENTIRE MACHINE DURING VARIOUS TURNING
CONDITIONS.
▫
LEARN YOUR LIMITS!
Fill Fuel Tanks
Fill the fuel tanks with #2 Diesel. The tanks are connected so you only need to fill from one side. You need to give
the fuel a little time to equalize after filling one tank and then add more. Leave 4” of space in the top of the tanks.
