Section 5: Operation
Loading Bales
When a bale is securely on the loading bed and the
loading arm fully lowered, feeding operation can begin:
1. Use the power unit’s hydraulic controls to raise the
bed 6 inches (15cm).
2. Start the rollers with power unit hydraulic controls.
Reverse the flow direction if rollers do not turn
counter-clockwise.
3. Raise the bed until the bale contacts the rollers and
starts to turn.
4. Keep raising the bed steadily until the bale
completely unravels over the rollers.
NOTE: Bales feed best when allowed time to unravel
and flow over the beaters. If the bed is raised too
quickly the bale can ride up and either refuse to unroll
or plug the rollers. Simply lower the bed until bale
lowers and raise bed at a slower pace if this occurs.
NOTE: Wet hay or straw won’t unravel nicely. If several
biscuits are peeling off the bale together, lower the
platform slightly and/or reverse the rollers 2 turns the
forward 4 turns, reverse.
DANGER: Do not attempt to remove cover from underneath raised bale!
4. Set the bale onto the balefeeder bed.
5. Cut baling twine and remove from bale. Bale twine can wrap around rollers and cause damage
and or operational failure over time if left on bales.

After attaching the BF5000S to the power unit as
specified in
Power Unit Hookup, Pg.3-2 :
1. Apply hydraulic oil pressure from the power
unit to the balefeeder.
2.
