McIntosh Double Bale Feeder, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 9 / 12

FAULTS WITH LOADING ARMS
Forks do not fold down parallel to ground to load bale.
•
Lack of grease in pins.
Bale drops into cradle/cannot hold it up to take plastic off.
•
Air in small ram. Bleed ram.
•
Faulty sequence valve. Take valve out and check, replace.
•
Forks creep down when travelling with a bale on. Check the valves in the aluminum block and check
the o-rings are not split. If one is split, replace o-rings. This is caused by excessive oil flow. Cut flow
back to a maximum of 50 litres.
TROUGH BALE FEEDER
• Load with the arm down.
•
Travel with the arm up until you want to start feeding.
•
You can lift the arm up to 45 degrees to feed with. The chains will still turn even straight up but it is
hard on the machine
•
If adjusting chains, have the arm up on a 45 degree angle where the chains are at their tightest point:
DO NOT adjust when the arm is down.
• Store the machine with arm down and the ram closed otherwise grease the ram if it is out so it does
not get rust spots on it and damage the seals.
Service Information
This notice is to provide assistance and give information for issues that may occur with
some McIntosh Equipment.
Machine: Multi Bale and Double Bale Feeders
In Field valve adjustments for Rear Bale Forks
On Multi Bale Feeders, the lift rams sequencing valve is located underneath the blue cover located on
the rear right hand side. You will need to remove the cover to expose the valve assembly.
On Double Bale Feeders, the valve assembly is mounted on the rear left hand side near the wheel.
The sequencing valve assembly has 3 valves fitted to the block. There are 2 adjustable throttle valves
that control the tip over and return speed of the bale forks. The 3rd valve is an adjustable relief valve
that controls the pressure of the forks when returning to the loading position. Sometimes you will be
required to adjust these valves to suit the types of bales, oil flow of the tractor and the customers
needs. When adjusting these valves, we recommend you only adjust one valve at one time, then test
the operation again. We also recommend that when adjusting the valves, screw them in or out 1/2 a
turn at a time and retest. This can make a big difference depending on the oil flow and the weight of
the bale.
If problems occurs, we recommend that you set the valves back to the standard factory settings and re-
test the system again.
