Warnings

• Take EXTREME CARE when connecting the bale feeder to the three-point linkage of a tractor or carrier frame of a telehandler.

Ensure the tractor/telehandler handbrake is applied before leaving the cab. • If the bale feeder is stationary mounted or on a pickup/truck/ute deck, ensure it is SECURELY FASTENED. • ENSURE the latch hooks are latched when transporting the bale feeder, whether it’s connected to a tractor/telehandler or on a trailer. • ALL persons must be kept well clear of machine in operation. Only the operator should be within 3 metres of the machine during operation. • Shut off the tractor or oil supply BEFORE trying to clear feed material or cut strings / net anywhere from around the machine. • Watch CAREFULLY when driving for over-width and tail-swing when travelling through gateways or near objects or people. • When feeder is not being used, ensure children CANNOT play or slide on the platform. • BEFORE attempting maintenance or any work, ensure the tractor engine is shut off and no one is near the hydraulic controls. • DO NOT allow any person(s) to ride on the machine at ANY time. • ALWAYS lift the platform to recommended initial rounds/square feeding position when travelling regardless of with or without a bale. • Take EXTREME CARE when lifting the feeder on a front loader, telehandler or skid steer loader as this changes the balance point and could tip the vehicle over. • NO alteration or modification is to be done on this machine unless undertaken or authorised by Hustler. Otherwise this will void warranty.

WARNINGS CONT.

• Vehicle MUST be operated at low speed over even ground when the bale feeder is attached. It must be kept as low as practical to the ground when traveling on a loader or telehandler. • Take EXTREME CAUTION when driving the vehicle on non-le vel ground, with the balefeeder attached. Do not exceed 15 degrees’ side slope when attached to the 3-point linkage of a tractor. • KEEP CLEAR of moving feed platform and pivot mechanism. DO NOT use for transporting anything other than a bale. • KEEP CLEAR of feed rotors. These have sharp points which are needed for teasing the bale. • ENSURE chain covers are in place when the machine is operating.

Chain may cause pinch point. • KEEP CLEAR of bale tynes when the linkage frame is not connected to the mainframe. • REGULARLY check the machine for signs of wear, stress or damage.

ENSURE any parts are repaired/replaced if needed. • ENSURE the platform lift arm is completely lowered before engaging the linkage frame with the feed unit.

WARNING! BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE, ENSURE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND NO ONE IS NEAR THE HYDRAULIC CONTROLS
