8.2 Operating Bale Spear

Operate the bale spear using extreme caution. Sharp points on bale spear can cause serious injury or death.

Because of size and weight of large bales, extreme care must be taken in handling them. Be aware of forces acting on stacked bales due to gravity and keep workers far from zones of potential hazard from shifting or falling bales. DO NOT ALLOW BYSTANDERS!

Keep bystanders 10 feet away from the tractor and loader while operating. The bystanders could enter the path of the tractor or items could fall from the loader resulting in serious injury to the bystander.

Keep bale spear and loader boom clear of overhead lines. Allowing loader boom or any attachments to contact overhead power lines may electrify entire tractor and electrocute (kill) operator.

Store the grapple bucket or bale spear attachment with the point(s) on the ground. Walking into the point of the bale or grapple spear can cause serious bodily injury. Never drive the bale spear or grapple bucket attachment forward if a bystander is in front of the loader. (SL-10)
