Setup & Operating Instructions
Loading Instructions
1. Cut the end of the wrap away so that you can
see which way the bale has been made. If you
want a heavy feed trail, load the way it was
baled; if you require a light feed trail, then load
the opposite way.
2. When you have the bale the way you require
it, back up to within a foot of it. Cut away the
wrap and webbing or strings, and remove as
much as possible from the bale. Release the
strop at the winch and pull it and the carriage
over. Refer Fig 1
3. Pull the strop over to the far side of the bale
and set the two bale hooks as far down as
possible at both sides of the bale. Attach the
strop in the middle of the connecting chain.
Ensure the bale hooks are fully embedded in the
bale. Refer Fig 2.
4. Check that the open feeding chain is in its
plastic idlers at the bottom of the carriage and
that the chains are in line. You cannot feed a
bale with these unaligned.
5. Winch the bale and carriage into the feeding
position. When the carriage is down, remove the
strop and hooks from the bale. Wind in the strop
until tight and ensure the winch is locked with
the ratchet (refer P10) to prevent the carriage
from tipping backwards during transport or
when the bale is fed out.
You may now move safely to where you are going to feed out.
Feeding Out
1 To connect the drive, simply unlock the drive lever assembly, let it drop down to the ground wheel,
then pull firmly down until it locks in the drive position. Now you are ready to feed out your bale.
2 To feed out the bale simply drive forward and the bale will feed out behind the unit.
