Handling bales and pallets:

For safe handling of bales and pallets please follow procedures below:

WARNING

Do not operate A – Frame for bales without the stabilizers.

With a single spear, enter one of the ends of the bale and drive the spear horizontally into the center or slightly above center of the bale and fully penetrate the bale. Then rollback the bucket cylinders approximately three quarters of the cylinder stroke and lift bale approximately a foot off the ground.

With the double or four spears enter the bale from one of the ends and drive the spear one third to one half the way up, from the bottom and fully penetrate the bale. Then rollback the bucket cylinders approximately three quarters of the cylinder’s stroke and lift bale approximately 12.0” off the ground.

CAUTION

Never attempt to use the spears as forks, as the spears can easily penetrate the ground causing a spear to bend or break as well as making the bale unstable to carry. Never attempt to handle a bale with only part of the spear(s) penetrated The nut on the bale spear must be torqued to 500 ft.-lbs. Check the torque periodically. A loose spear will damage the spear holder.
