OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

Connecting bale feeder onto tractor/telehandler etc.

• Connect the bale feeder to the drawbar of the tractor. Ensure its securely fastened with a strong pin and retainer clip to stop the pin jumping out. • NOTE: The drawbar height can be adjusted by rotating the towing eye 180 degrees, (M16 Bolts should be torqued to 200Nm dry) • Connect the hoses so that:

Lever 1 – lever back – loading frame lifts. (2 small hoses. Inside lever closest to driver.)

Lever 2 – lever back – chains feed out on the right side. (2 large hoses. Outside lever.) • The hydraulic flow rate should turn the top rotor 1 turn/2-3 seconds. Many high flow rate tractors have an adjustable control.

Use this to reduce the flow to the required rate. If there is no flow adjustment, simply operate the tractor at low rpm. • Some bales are just plain difficult for any feeder, however the Unrolla TX205 series will generally feed these out. If you experience a problem, try feeding the bale out the other side. This will unroll the bale instead of trying to pull it a part. • The hydraulic flow should actuate the chains at a smooth, controlled rate i.e. not too jerky or sudden. • Familiarise yourself with the hydraulic controls on the machine.

Using your 2 hydraulic hand controls.
