5. Installation, starting up, adjustment
Check if the bale grab is undamaged and in good condition on delivery. Please
contact Meijer Holland if you notice any damages. Use the collector only if it is
found to be in good order and after this manual has been read.
5.1 After delivery
Place the bale grab on a solid and even ground.
5.2 Before moving the bales
1. Remove the guard brackets and attach the front loader tines in the right way.
2. Assemble the mounting parts and attach the four supplied red mounting plates to the
rear side of the mounting surface (see drawing below).
3. Drive the vehicle in such a way to the bale grab that the mounting surface falls against the
mounting point of the bale grab.
4. Attach the bale grab to the vehicle.
5. Check the couplings for dirt. Attach only clean couplings to prevent dirt from entering the
system.
6. Connect the two correct hydraulic hoses of the vehicle to the two quick release couplings
above the mounting point of the bale grab. The upper hose is for clamping the bales and
the lower one is for releasing them.
7. Check for leakage.
8. Check the correct control of the cylinder from the hydraulic system.
9. Put the hydraulic system under pressure and test the bale grab by opening and closing
the hooks.
