Easy Clean Wiper
• Recommended to be cleaned before use, daily or any time of buildup. • Turn off tractor/telehandler. • Release both silver end latches of the wiper, let wiper panel slide open. • Remove excess material. • Close wiper by pulling bottom of wiper with one hand and pushing the top of wiper panel with other hand. (Keep fingers clear of pinch points). • Press both latches down into lock position.
Ajusting wiper panel
• Wiper Panel must be set up as close to the top drum as possible. (this reduces any build-up in the wiper with sticky bales) • Remove front and rear plastic covers. • Loosen M16 bolts at both ends. • Slide wiper towards the top drum, to reduce the gap to a minimum. (keep fingers away from pinch points) • Retighten M16 bolts at both ends, (recommended torque 140Nm). • Latch must be down (locked) when resetting wiper position.

Platform Chain Tension
Over time the platform chain will require adjustment. • Simply loosen off all eight bolts holding the bearings in place. • Loosen off the adjuster backing nut. • Wind the adjuster nut to tension the chain. Both sides must be adjusted to suit each chain. • With the platform fully down, the chain should not hang more than 10mm below the platform side plates. • Tighten the adjuster backing nut, then the eight bearing bolts.

Fitting the Square Bale Frame
When feeding or spreading square bales it is recommended fitting the Square Bale Frame (SBF) to support the bale, resulting in a more even and consistent outcome. • Ensure the bale retainer is in the down position. • Sit the SBF onto the platform, opposite the bedder unit • Push the SBF toward the feed rotors. (red arrow) • Ensure the hooks seat correctly (blue arrow) • Install the retainer pin and lynch pin (grey arrow)
ADJUSTING SQUARE BALE FRAME
The Square Bale Frame can be adjusted to fit bales up to 2400mm long. With the frame fitted to the Hurricane, simply move the adjustment lever down (red arrow) and pull/push the square bale frame using the handle (blue arrow). The adjustment lever must fit into a locking position before proceeding to operate the machine.
Use the bale retainer in the vertical position when feeding round bales to ensure the bale does not roll off the platform. Use the bale retainer in the horizontal position when using the Square Bale Frame, as it mounts to the Bale Retainer Bar. • To adjust the Bale Retainer Bar position: o Remove the Triknob at each end of the bar o Rotate the bar to the required position o Install the Triknobs into the corresponding locking holes.
Fitting Even Feed Roller
The Even Feed Roller (EFR) is recommended to be used when processing square bales, especially tight bales. • Ensure a bolt and washer are securely fitted to both ends of the
EFR • Insert the EFR into location slots in the Hurricane mainframe (red arrow) • Latch both ends of the roller into place (blue arrow)
