Section 5 - Operation
Using On Inclines
When working on inclines or slopes, travel uphill or downhill. Be sure to keep tractor transmission in
gear when traveling downhill.
Loading
•
Load one bale at a time. If bales are frozen, put frozen
side down to the table for better operation.
• Center the bale on the forks before loading on to the
table.
• Slide forks lightly on the ground when loading bales.
• Always set the parking brake, stop the engine, remove
ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before
leaving the operator’s seat.
Spreading Material
•
Start flail drum by engaging PTO from power unit. Operating power unit at maximum R.P.M. allows
the processor to do a better job of chopping forage.
•
To spread material, use power unit hydraulic control to move the ram towards the flail drum.
• Once material has been completely discharged from processor, reverse the ram with power unit
hydraulic control before loading next bale.
•
If ram is feeding too slow or flail drum is clogging up, adjust flow controls on front of processor to
desired feed rate. See
Adjustment
section.
•
Decreasing the speed of the pusher allows optional flail knives to chop forage finer, increasing the
speed leaves forage coarser when the knives are in the upward position.
