Hydraulic Hazards
Be aware of the hazards of pressurized hydraulics:
• Wear personal protective equipment, such as
gloves and safety glasses, whenever servicing or
checking a hydraulic system.
• Assume that all hydraulic hoses and components
are pressurized. Relieve all hydraulic pressure
before disconnecting any hydraulic line.
• Never try to stop or check for a hydraulic leak with
any part of your body; use a piece of cardboard to
check for hydraulic leaks.
• Small hydraulic hose leaks are extremely dan-
gerous, and can inject
hydraulic oil under the
skin, even through
gloves.
• Infection and gangrene
are possible when
hydraulic oil penetrates
the skin. See a doctor
immediately to prevent
loss of limb or death.
Maintenance Safety
• Perform all routine maintenance outlined in this
Operator’s Manual in the time intervals indicated.
• Maintenance, lubrication and repair of this ma-
chine can be dangerous unless performed proper-
ly. In order to ensure safety, each person working
on this bale wagon must have the necessary skills,
information, tools and equipment, and satisfy
himself that his work method is safe, correct, and
meets his own company’s requirements.
• Do not attempt to make adjustments, or perform
repairs unless you are authorized and qualified to
do so.
• Never attempt to service energized equipment
alone. Someone capable of rendering aid in the
event of accidental shock must be present.
• Do not rely on the hydraulic system to support
any part of the bale wagon during maintenance
or lubrication. Never stand under a bale wagon
component that is supported only by the hydraulic
system. Ensure components are resting on their
mechanical stops or supported with appropriate
safety stands during maintenance or lubrication.
• Never attempt servicing while the bale wagon is
moving. Shut off the tractor and secure power.
• Shut off tractor engine, engage the parking brake,
disengage the bale wagon, and wait for all move-
ment to stop before adjusting, lubricating, clean-
ing, or servicing the bale wagon.

• Any unauthorized modifications made to the bale
wagon by the customer or parties other than Allied
Systems will relieve Allied Systems Company and
your Freeman dealer of any liability for damage or
injury.
• Replace any worn parts only with genuine Free-
man parts. Call your dealer for assistance.
• Unless specified in service procedures, never at-
tempt maintenance or lubrication procedures while
the bale wagon is moving or the engine is running.
• Engine exhaust fumes
can cause death. If it
is necessary to run the
engine in an enclosed
space, remove the
exhaust fumes from the
area with an exhaust
pipe extension. Use
ventilation fans and
open shop doors to
provide adequate ventilation.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause
severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing.

6
PB7000OP11 Rev: 03-2013
• Batteries produce
explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame and
cigarettes away. Venti-
late when charging or
servicing in an enclosed
space. Always shield
your eyes when working
near batteries. When
removing battery cables, disconnect the negative
(-) cable first. When installing a battery, always
connect the positive (+) cable first. This proce-
dure will help to prevent a spark which could cause
an explosion.
• Before making adjustments to the engine or chas-
sis electrical system, disconnect the battery. An
electrical spark could cause a fire, explosion or
severe burns.
Safety Equipment
• Ensure test equipment is in good condition.
• If an instrument must be held while taking mea-
surements, ground the case of the instrument
before energizing equipment.
• Do not touch live equipment or personnel work-
ing on live equipment while holding a multimeter.
Some types of measuring devices should not be
grounded—do not hold such devices while taking
measurements.
• Prevent personal injury or equipment damage by
using a lifting device with a lifting capacity greater
than twice the weight of any equipment to be lifted.
• Always use personal protective equipment (PPE)
appropriate to the situation. This may include the
use of hearing protection, eye protection, a respi-
rator, a hard hat, leather gloves, steel toed boots,
etc.
Electrical Hazards
• An electric shock could be fatal. Ensure power to
the bale wagon is “OFF”
before opening electrical
panels.
• All electrical cables and
connectors must be in
good condition (free
of corrosion, damage,
etc). Use caution in wet
weather to avoid danger
from electrical shock.
Never attempt electrical
testing or repair while
standing in water.
• Do not wear electri-
cally conductive jewelry,
clothing, or other items
while working on the
electrical system.

Fire Safety
WARNING
WARNING: Diesel fuel and hydraulic oil are
flammable. Never smoke while handling fuel
or working on the fuel system. The fumes in an
empty fuel container are explosive. Never cut
or weld on or near fuel lines, tanks, or contain-
ers. Keep open flames and sparks away from
the machine.
Reduce the Risk of Fire
• Keep the bale wagon
free of oil, grease, hay,
and trash accumula-
tions. Regular cleaning
is recommended for fire
prevention and general
safety.
• Shut off the engine
and electrical equip-
ment while filling the fuel tank. Use extra caution
when fueling a hot engine. Always ground the fuel
nozzle against the filler neck to avoid sparks.
• Never overfill the fuel or hydraulic tanks. Any over-
flow could cause a fire. Immediately repair any
hydraulic or fuel leaks and clean up any spills.
• Handle all solvents and dry chemicals according
to procedures identified on manufacturer’s contain-
ers. Work in a well-ventilated area. Make sure you
know where fire extinguishers are kept and how to
use them.
• Avoid spilling fuel or other hazardous liquids. If
a spill occurs, follow local or state regulations for
clean-up. Contact your state’s OSHA office for
details.
• Always ensure that excess grease and oil accu-
mulation, including spillage, is cleaned up immedi-
ately.
• Inspect the bale wagon daily for potential fire haz-
ards and make any necessary repairs immediately.
• Check all the electrical wiring and connections for
defects, and repair or replace as necessary. Keep
battery terminals clean and tight.
• Never perform welding operations until the entire
machine has undergone a thorough cleaning. In
addition, cover rubber hoses, disconnect the bat-
tery, and have at least a fire extinguisher at hand.
• Hydraulic fluid is flammable. Do not weld on or
near pipes, tubes, or hoses that are filled with fluid.
Do not smoke when checking or filling the tank.
Keep open flames and sparks away from the bale
wagon.
• Hay dust is combustible. Do not have an open
flame or weld in dusty environments.
• Maintain the engine cooling system to avoid over-
heating.
• Remember, there is always a risk of fire.
Fire Fighting Equipment
• It is recommended to carry an “ABC” fire extin-
guisher on the bale wagon or in the pull vehicle at
all times. Install it within easy reach of the opera-
tor in a position that protects it from damage. Use
only a “quick release” type of mount. It is also rec-
ommended to carry a four gallon water container
with a pump, or as required by local and state law.
• Keep your fire extinguisher(s) fully charged and in
good working order. Know how to use them.
• Read and understand the instructions printed
on the canisters and learn how to operate them.
Learn how to remove the canisters from their
mounting brackets in the shortest amount of time.
• Service the extinguisher according to the manufac-
turer’s specifications. Service after every use, no
matter how short a time.
Fire Suppression
• Do not panic. At the first sign of trouble (burning
smell, smoke, visible flame, etc), stop the tractor
and turn off the engine in the clearest area avail-
able, with the tractor upwind from the bale wagon
if possible.
• If the fire cannot be extinguished safely, immedi-
ately evacuate the area. DO NOT attempt to ex-
tinguish it. DO NOT risk personal injury. Contact
your local fire department.
• If you have determined that the fire may be safely
extinguished, use the fire extinguisher according
to the manufacturer’s instructions, or use the water
pump, aiming water at the base of the fire.
• When the bale wagon has fully cooled, thoroughly
inspect, and make all necessary repairs to return
the bale wagon to normal operation.
• Recharge or replace the fire extinguishers before
returning to work.

TIE TIER CAM ADJUSTMENT: STACKING
14”, 15”, OR 16” HIGH BALES
To properly stack bales of different heights, it is neces-
sary to reposition the Tie Tier activating cams. These
cams activate limit switches LS-5 and LS-6 that com-
municate the position of the load bed to the Control
Circuit. The Control Circuit then determines which tie
sequence should occur. See Figure 7 for the location
of the Tie Tier Activating Cams.
To stack 15” or 16” high bales instead of 14” high
bales, the Tie Tier activating cams must be adjusted.
Each cam must be positioned to correspond to the
proper tier.
Tie Tiers may be added by instaIling additional cams.

WARNING
Make certain everyone is clear of the bale
wagon before starting engine operation.
The bale wagon was designed to collect, mechani-
cally load, and position bales into a tight square stack.
Stacks can be 7 tiers high with 15” (38 cm) and 16”
(40.5 cm) bales, or 8 tiers high with 14” (35.5 cm)
bales. The stack is normally 9.3 feet (283 cm) high
and 8 feet (244 cm) square. These dimensions make it
ideal for transporting by truck.
Bales to be stacked must be square, solid and 45” to
48” (114 cm to 123 cm) long. Bales must be flat, with
twine running on top and bottom of the bale.
SETTING BALE SIZE
1. Locate the switch inside the Junction Box (see
Figure 13).
2. Put the switch in the proper location, either 2-tie or
3-tie depending on the size of the bale you will be
picking up.
START UP
(See Figure 12 on page 18 for switch locations.)
1. Check the hydraulic fluid level on the sight guage.
2. Check that the MODE switch is in the STOP
position and the PICKUP CHAIN switch is in the
middle (stop) position.
3. Start the Tractor following all the Manufacturers
procedures.
Note: The Bale Wagon should be started with the
Mode switch in the “Stop” position. If the machine
is started with the Mode switch in the “Run” posi-
tion or the “Pause” position none of the hydraulic
functions will work until the Mode switch is first
set back to the “Stop” position.
WARNING
The Pickup Chain switch can be latched in
the FORWARD position. If the Mode switch is
switched to the “Pause” position and there is hy-
draulic energy in the system, the Pickup Chain will
run. It is recommended to place this switch in the
bottom (Stop) position when starting the machine
(see Figure 12 on page 18).
4. Place the POWER switch in the ON position.
5. Engage the hydraulic PTO and slowly bring the
PTO rpm up to 540 rpm.
6. Bring hydraulic oil to recommended operating tem-
perature of 80°F (27°C) to 180°F (82°C) as shown
on the level/temperature gauge on the front of the
Hydraulic tank.
7. Verify that the Load Bed and pusher are in the
proper location. Adjust their position with the
Mode switch in the PAUSE position using the
manual switches (see “Manual Operation:” on
page 22).
8. Once the setup of the machine and the position of
the hydraulic actuators are in the correct position,
the machine can now be put into the “Run” mode.
Refer to “RUNNING THE BALE WAGON” on page
21 for more information.
