Includes settings for different bale sizes and safety warnings about overhead hazards and unexpected loader tine movements.
The deflector can be adjusted for different distribution patterns, and the loader indicator shows safe transport positions.
Ensure the machine is parallel with the ground and secure the hitch pin with a hairpin clip. Follow the normal shutdown procedure for unhitching.
Ensure the rotor chamber is clear of objects and bystanders are away. Engage the conveyor and loader at idle speed, then increase to 1000 RPM.
For round bales, use the loader to position the bale into the shredding chamber. For square bales, apply squeeze arms and lift into the chamber.
Operate the machine at 1000 RPM for optimal performance. Avoid uneven terrain to prevent tipping.
Regularly remove twine from the rotor using a hacksaw. For storage, clean the machine thoroughly, apply grease to exposed parts, and cover if stored outside.
The machine has 18 lubrication points that require attention every 15 hours of operation. Use high-quality #2 multi-purpose grease.
Keep the machine clean and free of debris. Repaint exposed metal to prevent rust.
Chains should be lubricated after every 15 hours of use. Regular cleaning of the rear pivot area is necessary to prevent damage.
