the transfer roller) and oiling of all chain systems. All additional grease points must be
greased, as specified. (See ‘Machine maintenance’)
The oil reservoir tank (A) can hold approximately 3 litres of oil and this is enough oil for
approximately 12 working hours. It should be kept between the minimum and maximum
markings at all times. McHale recommend the use of only top quality chain oil and
grease, this will prolong the life of the machine components. A grease cartridge is
required after every 300 bales approximately. On the control box, an alarm is provided
to remind the operator to change the grease cartridge and top up the lubrication oil after
a preset number of cycles. This counts down from 300 and gives a reminder at zero. It
may be reset sooner, if desired, from within the control box sub menus. (See ‘Bale
count’)
To add oil:
1. Unscrew the top cap and add chain oil to the oil reservoir tank (A), up to the
maximum level mark shown. (McHale recommend a good quality high
viscosity chain oil with good tack adhesion (ISO 150 - ISO 220)).
2. Replace the cap and tighten fully.

WARNING: Ensure the tractor is shut down before adding oil
Ensure that the tractor engine has been shut down, the key has been
removed from the ignition and the brakes have been applied before
adding oil.
NOTE: Oil filter needs to be replaced at least once every season
The oil filter, inside the oil reservoir tank, will need replacement once
every season or as soon as reduced oil consumption is noticed. The filter
is critical to proper operation and lubrication.
