Maintenance

(also do this before initial operation)

• Grease all points regularly. • These are: • 4x main shaft bearings (do not over grease). • 2x drive couplings • All friction surfaces of mechanical latch mechanism • Inside the hook latch contact surface • Keep the 2 drive chains oiled. Use non-tacky black or brown chain lube monthly. • After the first 10 hours of operation check all bolts and grub screws are tight. • During routine servicing check that the grub screws and bolts are tight. • Ensure the chain tension is checked regular. It can be tightened by adjusting the four tensioners evenly. See adjustments section for more • Check the linkage mounting bolts are tight at all times. Depending on the mounting bracket this may be three point linkage brackets or loader /telehandler mounting brackets. • Ensure bale tyne tightness is regularly checked. Tynes should be tightened to 700 Newton meters. This is equal to applying 70 KGs to a one-meter bar.
