Hydraulics
WARNING: Pressurized hydraulic fluid can
cause serious injury.
• When working with hydraulic equipment,
eye and hand protection should be worn.
• Do not test for leaks with bare hands.
• Relieve any pressure before removing a
hose or fitting.
• Never work under components raised by hydraulic equipment unless supported externally.
There are three sets of hydraulic hoses to connect to the tractor. Each hose has a coloured marker
to identify its function. They should be connected at best convenience for the tractor's controls.
Note that the hoses are paired by colour and the following tables show the operation when pushing
oil into the hose with the longer marker.
An optional diverter kit (BMI # 25091) is available to allow the Bale King 5300 to run
using only two sets of hoses. The function is then determined by a control box, mounted in the
cab of the tractor.
Always set the tractor's hydraulic flow at a lower rate and
adjust it upward until the desired speed is reached. Excessive oil flow
may damage the flow divider cartridge.
