Optional Diverter Kit
The Bale King 5300 processor has an optional diverter kit (BMI # 25091) which allows it to
operate using only 2 hydraulic remotes. The fork and deflector functions are then controlled by a
cab-mounted switch box. This box must be wired up to the tractor's electrical system. You may
use the provided plug to plug into the accessory outlet. If this is not available, the plug can be
disassembled, and wired as necessary.
A 4-pin plug is used to power the diverter valve on the processor. If no power is supplied, the
hydraulics will still control the rear forks, but the deflector will not be functional. If the switch in
the tractor is activated, the deflector can be controlled. On 5300 machines with an option, this box
can also control grain flow or the 3 Bale Clamp (as “Auxiliary”).
The diverter kit also features a pilot operated check valve to ensure that the deflector will
not fall down due to leaking across the valve.
