Speed
•The processor features implement tires and hubs and is not suitable for high speed travel
•The processor does not have brakes.
•Slow down for rough conditions, turns, and steep declines.
•If towing long distances, ensure the machine is empty (no bales in tub or on fork)
•If hauling one bale only, place it in the tub instead of on the fork.
•If hauling two or more bales, speed should be further reduced. Note that there will be a
significant amount of weight behind the processor axle, causing more “tail whip”. This
also raises the center of weight of the machine.
•Failure to heed these warning may result in loss of control or death.

Safety Chain, Jack, PTO, and Hydraulics
•ALWAYS ensure that the safety chain is properly installed. There should be enough
slack to allow for turning, but not so much that the chain drags on the ground.
•Ensure that the jack is installed in its storage position on the front tub wall.
•Ensure that the PTO and hydraulic hoses are properly secured
•PTO and hydraulic lines must be connected to the tractor during transport.
•If towing with a pickup, the outer PTO shaft must be removed, and the inner shaft and
hydraulic hoses properly secured. The exposed end of the inner PTO shaft should be
covered to protect the splines from dust/rocks, etc.
Wheels and Tires
•Check tire pressure and wheel torque. Wheels must be retorqued after 1 hr if being
transported for the first time.
Tire Pressure
24 psi
Wheel Torque
125 ft-lb
•If transporting long distances, periodically check the tires and hubs for high temperatures.
If heating up, you must slow down.
Lights and Marking
•Tow vehicle must have a 7-pin round trailer plug
•Plug in lights and check for proper function and visibility (flashing amber lights, red tail
lights and brake lights).
•If towing with a pickup, an adapter will be required to plug into the trailer plug. When
braking, both amber lights should activate. Tail lights should always be on.
•Ensure that the supplied SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign is clearly visible from the rear
•Ensure that the reflective markers are cleaned, and visible from all sides

Page 7
Safety Locks
•Lift the forks all the way up. If carrying a bale, only lift enough for appropriate ground
clearance. If empty, install both fork cylinder locks as shown.
•If applicable, the 3-bale clamp should be closed.
•If possible, the deflector should be in the folded position.
•Ensure that the deflector safety lock is installed

FEATURES & OPERATION
Power Take-off
The Bale King bale processor has a PTO shaft which is splined on both ends. The implement end
uses a 1-3/4"-20 spline with wedge lock bolts. Install onto the gearbox and tighten the wedge
bolts. The bolts should be torqued to 160 ft-lb and re-torqued after 8 hrs of use.
The tractor end comesstandard with a 1-3/8"-21 spline quick detach constant velocity joint.
An optional 1-3/4"-20 spline yoke is available through your Bale King dealer.
The Bale King processor is designed to use a minimum of 100 HP. The drive shaft is
shear-bolt protected. The machine must be operated at 1000 PTO RPM.
NOTE: Spread yokes and twisted drive shafts are signs of OVERLOAD, not a manufacturer’s
defect and therefore not covered by warranty.
•DO NOT operate the machine using a spline adaptor. Use of adaptors will void warranty
due to damage caused to the tractor PTO, PTO driveshaft, or implement.
•DO NOT operate at 540 rpm, or use any kind of adaptor to connect to a 540 rpm spline.
•ALWAYS ensure that the PTOshaft is attached securely to the tractor. Whenthe processor
is not hooked to the tractor, store the shaft on the PTO holder.
•DO NOT transport the processor without securing the PTO shaft. See next page for
securing instruction.
•ALWAYS ensure that the drawbar is adjusted to 16” from the end of the tractor PTO shaft
to the center of the hole in the drawbar.
Operation
To engage the rotor for processing a bale, be sure the PTO shaft is properly connected to the tractor.
Engage the PTO at idle. After the PTO is fully engaged, increase PTO speed until it reaches 1000
RPM.
The processor must not run at any speed less than 1000 PTO RPM as it may result in the
flails springing back against the rotor after they come in contact with the bale. This “backslap”
may cause flails to fatigue and excessive vibration which may cause the bearings to fail. Bales
may be dumped into the tub while the rotor is stopped or while it is running.

Shear Bolt
All new Bale King processors are equipped with a shear bolt clutch located at the implement end
of the PTO shaft. The correct size shear bolt is 3/8 x 2” Fine Thread Grade 5 with Stover Lock
Nut. Any other size or grade will damage the shear assembly. Spare shear bolts are shipped with
each new machine and are stored along the front top lip of the tub.
If your shear bolt is shearing excessively you may be over-loading the machine. If this
occurs raise the grate assembly to make the machine less aggressive, or roll the bale more slowly.
Always ensure that your machine is running at 1000 PTO RPM.
NOTE: Please consult your local dealer to help pinpoint any problems.
PTO Holder
A PTO shaft holder is standard with your
new Bale King, for safe storage of the
PTO shaft when the processor is not in
use.
When unhooking the PTO shaft
from the tractor, lift the PTO holder to its
upright position and rest the PTO in the
holder. Do NOT transport the machine with the PTO in the holder, slide the outer PTO shaft out
and secure elsewhere. When transporting, fasten the inner PTO shaft to the machine and cover the
open splined end.
The hydraulic hoses may need to be adjusted to best fit your tractor, to avoid damage
from rubbing on the PTO shaft shield. This can be done by loosening the bolt on top of the
plastic hose clamp, then pushing or pulling on the hoses to adjust the length.

PTO Use and Maintenance
Shut OFF the tractor engine and remove the key before doing any maintenance on the machine.
Use ONLY genuine Weasler parts when replacing any worn or damaged PTO components.
Length:
Confirm the minimum and maximum working lengths of the drive-line.
The telescoping tubes must overlap at least 1/3 of their length when in
use. The PTO is designed to be used with a drawbar length of 16" from
the end of the PTO shaft. Adjust your tractor accordingly.
Shielding:
Be sure that the shielding is not damaged and rotates
freely on the drive shaft.
Working Angles:
Constant Velocity joints can operate up to 80 degrees for short
periods of time. Do not operate for long periods on sharp angles.
Attachment:
Be sure the drive-line is properly attached and all bolts and screws are
tight on the implement input shaft and on the tractor PTO shaft.
Storage:
When not in use, cover or protect the drive shaft from the weather.
When removed from the machine store both halves together to prevent damage. Check all
components for proper function and lubrication before use.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIR PROCEDURES,
ALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT SUCH AS
SAFETY GLASSES, SAFETY SHOES, AND GLOVES
Shield Removal:
•To remove the shield, pop out the red snap, then rotate
the guard on the bearing to line up the three tabs with
the openings and pull it off away from the knuckle joint.
•Remove the nylon bearing from the shaft by spreading
it open.
Shield Assembly:
•Be sure to lubricate the groove in the inner yokes where the shield
bearing rides. Reinstall shields in the reverse order that they were
removed.

Hydraulics
WARNING: Pressurized hydraulic fluid can
cause serious injury.
•When working with hydraulicequipment,
eye and hand protection should be worn.
•Do not test for leaks with bare hands.
•Relieve any pressure before removing a
hose or fitting.
•Never work under components raised by hydraulic equipment unless supported externally.
There are three sets of hydraulic hoses to connect to the tractor. Each hose has a coloured marker
to identify its function. They should be connected at best convenience for the tractor's controls.
Note that the hoses are paired by colour and the following tables show the operation when pushing
oil into the hose with the longer marker.

Implement Tongue
The adjustable hitch on the Bale King features a cast single tongue with hammer strap insert. This
allows for use with tractors equipped with a hammer strap or with a single drawbar. It also allows
the machine to move independently over rough terrain without bending the draw pin.
•Make sure that the drawbar is set to 16 inches behind the PTO shaft for proper PTO length.
•Adjust the hitch height to reduce the PTO angle as much as possible.
•DO NOT install the insert if using a tractor with a hammer strap as this will bend the hitch
pin.
•ALWAYS connect the safety chain during road transport
Rear Forks
The rear fork bale tines can be adjusted side
to side by removing the pin connecting the tine to
the machine and replacing the tine in the other
available gap. Always use tines in the same
position on either side to keep the load on the forks
and cylinders balanced. The widest position is
recommended for all situations, except for the
smallest bales. Always use tines in the same
position on either side to keep the load on the forks
and cylinders balanced.

For transport, and safety when working under the forks,
install the red safety locks onto the lift cylinder. The Bale King
5300 is equipped with self-catching safety locks that do not
require a pin to lock in place. To install, lift the fork all the way
up with the hydraulics, place the pin catch of the cylinder lock
against the top pin, and swing into place, resting the base of the
lock on the face of the cylinder chamber.
