Hooking Up for the First Time - Continued
Step 1: Attach Bale Runner to Tractor - Continued
CAUTION: Operating Bale Runner without Safety Chain connected to tractor can be
hazardous. Always attach Safety Chain to tractor.
• Secure Hitch Safety Chain to tractor or tractor draw bar. Note: Chain should be loose enough to allow tractor to
turn without allowing chain to drag on the ground.
• Connect the trailer light cable to the tractor and test the system to be sure the lights are operating properly.
• Read the “Air Brake Maintenance” section to adjust the air brakes properly if the machine is so equipped.
DANGER: Improperly set up brakes can cause loss of control of the stacker and towing
unit. Be sure to adjust brakes according to the procedures described in this manual.
CAUTION: Operating Bale Runner without brakes and lights connected to the tractor
can be hazardous. Always attach the electrical cables to the tractor.
• Lift jack to its highest position, then remove pin and fully retract the extension leg.
Step 2: Set Up Monitor
CAUTION: Use care when working with electricity. Disconnect battery of tractor first
if attempting to connect control box assembly directly to battery.
Parts Needed - 1 Monitor Assembly
• Mount the Monitor in the cab (preferably to the right of the driver). The monitor must be mounted in a safe place
out of harm’s way and the weather.
• Route the connecting cable from the cab to an area near the hitch. The anged end of the cable should be located
near the hitch, and the free-hanging end should be located in the cab.
• Plug the control cable on the stacker into the connecting cable on the tractor.
• Plug the multifunction grip into the monitor.
• Connect the power cable from the monitor to the auxiliary power connector in the tractor.
• If it is necessary to connect the controls directly to the battery, then be sure to ground properly to prevent damage
to the monitor and controller circuits.
• The controls should now be functional and the warning light will turn on when the power is switched on and the
hitch is not in the inline position.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate machine without the Monitor installed and fully operational.
