Lockout Mechanism Adjustment and Setting
The 3 Bale Kit is equipped with a lockout mechanism that prevents damage to the clamps
if the fork is lifted before the clamps are released. The lockout mechanism works by allowing
the clamps to “break-away” if contacted, or if a bale in the fork pushes too hard on a clamped
bale. When this happens, a valve is activated which locks out the forks and prevents them from
lifting any higher. To reset, lower the bale slightly to release the valve, then open the clamps.
Clamps lift up in slot, activating the valve. Lowering the forks resets this.
