ADJUSTING RIGHT WHEELS
The wheels on the right side of the carrier can
be adjusted to prevent the FRAME from lifting
when loading heavy bales.
The right TANDEM AXLE should be
positioned close to its outermost limit only
when loading the heaviest hay bales. For
lighter hay and straw bales, keep it as close
as possible to its innermost position.
Any excess AXLE BEAM can be cut off to
make it easier to go through gates. If AXLE
BEAM is cut, the inner pipe must be re-
welded.
CABLE TENSION
Correct cable tension is critical to the service
life of the pusher cable.
A loose CABLE will not track true and may
result in cable damage.
It is normal for a new cable to stretch during
initial operation. CHECK tension after each
load for the first six loads.
CORRECT TENSION: With the machine
unloaded and bale pusher at the forward
position adjust cable tension until LOWER
CABLE just clears the CROSSMEMBERS.
After initial break-in check CABLE tension
frequently.
Cable damage due to neglect is not
covered by warranty.
CHAIN TENSION
Check for proper CHAIN tension and sprocket
alignment every eight hours for the first 24
hours of operation. Check weekly thereafter.
Adjust CHAIN TIGHTENER SPROCKET
assembly to remove any slack from the
CHAIN.
NOTE: The CHAIN is accessed by removing
the CHAIN GUARD. Ensure that GUARD is in
place before operating the bale carrier.
