Mini Round Baler SRB - 870
Operating Instructions
Initial Preparation for Baling:
The pick - up handle must be moved to the “ Operation ” position prior to baling. This will lower the pick - up.
Pull down on handle, move the latch to the right and allow the handle to move up. NOTE: Only lower the pick
- up when ready to begin baling. When transporting to and from the field, raise the pick - up to prevent damage
to the machine.
Use the height adjustment chain to raise or lower the height of the pick - up so that the tines are approximately
1” from the ground. This measurement is for reference only. The operator should run the machine for a period
of time to determine if the pick - up height should be higher or lower depending on the height and type of mate-
rial baled. Shorter grass may require a lower setting to properly pick - up material. Longer grass may require a
higher setting to prevent clumping of material.
Note: For cleaner material and longer life of tines, avoid continuous contact
with the ground.
