Figure 4.2 Loading arm adjustment based on bale length
The loading arm is equipped with a security device that blocks the use of the pusher and the
lifting of the unloading platform when it is in raised position. To perform the actions of bale
pushing and unloading, the arm must be around the middle of its range. This device is located
at the pivot point of the loading arm and serves to avoid collisions between the arm and the
other parts of the TRB trailer.
Adjusting the Bale Guides
The bale guides hold the bales in place during transportation and loading. They must be
adjusted according to the diameter of the bales being transported. The following illustration
shows the optimal adjustment of the bale guides.
