6. MAINTENANCE
When not using the Bale Shear, always make sure that it is left fully closed. Pivot points should be greased at regular intervals via the grease nipples.
Always disconnect all hydraulic lines and close the Bale Shear fully before carrying out any maintenance.
The Bale Shear blades must be kept sharp. Always wear protective clothing, and always use heavy gloves when working on the blades. In normal operation, the blades should only
require sharpening if they are damaged. Re-sharpening must only be done with a file. Do not use a portable grinding machine as this will overheat the blades and reduce their sharpness.
If damage to the blades is severe, seek advice from your Tanco dealer.
The Bale Shear should be regularly checked for any signs of corrosion or leakage or other damage. This check should include all moving parts, hydraulic components, and the tightness of
all fittings, particularly the tines in the main structure.
Before using the Bale Shear, always check that it is clean and that all moving parts are free from obstruction.
