SAFETY
Farm machinery is dangerous if operated incorrectly so please read this manual in its
entirety prior to operating the machine.
No operator, however experienced in farm machinery operation, should attempt
to use any machine they have not been competently trained to use. Your local
Department of Agriculture can help you with training, as can most Occupational Health
and Safety offices, Agricultural schools and colleges and farm equipment dealerships.
All instructions relating to tractor safety as per the tractor operators manual
should be followed. When making any machine adjustments, stop the tractor engine first
and wait for all moving parts to stop. Maintain the tractor to ensure it remains safe to
use. Do not operate faulty or damaged equipment.
Extreme caution should be taken when fitting equipment to the tractor’s three
point linkage. Avoid standing between the implement and the tractor when coupling
machinery.
All machines should be mounted and retained correctly. All guards must be kept
in place and correctly maintained. P.T.O. shafts must be correctly attached and secured
to both the tractor and the machine. Decals must be visible and legible at all times. Keep
well clear of all moving parts.
Keep all people and animals at a safe distance from all moving parts. Children
must not be allowed to operate this equipment and all passengers must have the same
level of protection as the operator.
Wear protective clothing where appropriate.
Never operate when tired (not alert) or in poorly lit areas and stay alert for humps
and other hidden hazards. Remove all timber, rocks and foreign objects prior to
operation.
Avoid operating the machine in wet conditions.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on hills. Avoid sudden
movement, sudden breaking, high speeds, rough terrain and steep slopes.

If machine starts to vibrate, stop tractor using method as described in the
operation section.
After striking a foreign object or if the there are doubts about the performance of
the machine, stop the tractor as described and check if machine is making excessive
noise.
Extreme caution must be taken when working in public areas (roadsides etc). It is
recommended that flaps and chains are fitted in these areas. These are available as
optional extras. Rear flaps are compulsory in public areas.
Do not modify this equipment in anyway, or use it for any other purpose than it
was designed to do.
Never work under unsupported machines or adjust unsupported machines. Do
not enter the danger zone where a load being carried by a machine could fall on you, for
example a round bale from a bale fork, a log from a carryall or material from a rear end
loader.
These instructions should be used in conjunction with any local regulations regarding
safety ie OHS.
Maintenance is essential for safe operation. Ensure maintenance is carried out
regularly by people qualified to do so. This is of particular importance on P.T.O.
drive machines where driven parts can fly off at high speed if wearing parts are
not properly maintained.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS AND
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN
EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION, OR
DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY OR
EVEN DEATH.

INTRODUCTION:
This manual was developed specifically for the machine you have purchased. The information
within is to assist you in preparing, operating and maintaining your machine. Please read and
understand the contents of the manual completely before attempting to operate your machine,
paying special attention to all safety details. With our policy of continuous improvement, products
and specifications may change without notice and without incurring the obligation to install such
changes on any unit previously delivered.
Carryalls
The carryalls come in two sizes, the 6’ x 3’6” and the 4’ x 3’. Hardwood floors are used
as objects tend to carry better on wood. Both are fitted with pipe sections at the rear so a
bar can be dropped in to stop objects such as posts rolling off the back.

ASSEMBLY
Line the lower linkage arms between the lower linkage plates of the implement, slide the
linkage pins through the holes and secure with linch pins. Ensure the lower arms of the
tractor have an anti-sway device fitted such as stays or chains. This prevents the
implement from swinging side to side during transport. Failure to do so may result in
damage not covered by warranty.
Attach the top link to the implement.
(Note: Top link pins and linch pins are not supplied by Berends)
OPERATION
Once all safety procedures have been followed, start the tractor and raise the implement
off the ground
Ensure the top link is mounted in the position which provides the best angle for pick-up
and transport.
Loading
Weight capacities given in the machine description section at the front of this manual
depend on the tractor lift capacity and even loading of the load. Ensure that all loads are
stable and cannot fall.
Do not use the carryall for pulling/dragging loads.
Do not travel too fast whilst the implement is loaded. This can result in the load bouncing
up and down which creates extra force on the carryall. This can be minimised by lifting
the linkage as high as possible – be careful that the load doesn’t interfere with the tractor
cab or ROPS frame when lifted.
Stopping
Lower the implement, stop the tractor engine (removing the ignition key) and apply the
park brake. Ensure that the implement is well supported when not in use.
MAINTENANCE
When doing any type of maintenance on this machine, always follow the safety steps
described in this manual. Use only authorised genuine parts for replacement.
The implement must be adequately supported under its body (Make certain it cannot
fall).
There is little maintenance on carryalls, however, it is advised that periodic checks be
made on the frame to ensure that no stress fractures have occurred due to incorrect
operation.
The floor is made from hardwood and sometimes is subject to some initial skrinking as it
dries out. Replacement boards can easily be inserted by prising up the two sections of
flat bar at the end of the boards and sliding the replacement boards in place. Use a
vicegrip/clamp to hold the bar back down and strike the bend in the bar with a hammer
to put it back in place.
