Safety
General
•Be aware of Danger, Warning and Caution notes.
•DO NOT RIDE!! Do not allow riders on the implement while in motion.
•Do not allow extra riders in the tractor unless an instructor seat and seat belt are available.
•Check behind when backing up.
•Reduce Speed when working in hilly terrain.
•Never allow anyone within the immediate area when operating machinery.
•Keep all shields in place, replace them if removed for service work.
•Always lock bale fork in raised position.
•Be aware of the correct tractor operating procedures, when working with implements.
•Review tractor operator’s manual.
•Secure hitch pin with a retainer and lock draw bar in center position.
•Turn OFF the power source/tractor whenever working on the hiker.

Safety
Hydraulics
•Do not search for high pressure hydraulic leaks without hand and face protection. A tiny, almost
invisible leak can penetrate skin, thereby requiring immediate medical attention.
•Use cardboard or wood to detect leaks –never your hands.
•Double check that all is clear before operating all hydraulics.
•Never remove hydraulic hoses or ends with machine elevated. Relieve hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic hose or ends.
•Maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels.
•Keep all connectors clean for positive connection.
•Ensure all fittings and hoses are in good condition.
•Do not stand under wings.

Safety
Maintenance
•Shut tractor engine off before making any adjustments or lubricating machine.
•Block machine securely to prevent any movement during servicing.
•Wear close fitting clothing and appropriate personal protective equipment for the job.
•Do not search for high pressure hydraulic leaks without hand and face protection. A tiny,
almost invisible leak can penetrate skin, thereby requiring immediate medical attention.
•To prevent personal injury, do not walk within radius of raised bale fork or bed. Always ensure
bale fork is locked in place.
•Do not modify the machine

Daily maintenance
Daily Maintenance
To maintain dependable operation and to maximize the life
of the 2200 Bale Hiker the following should be done on a
daily basis.
•Keep Selector Valve Spools clean of any debris and
ensure it moves freely. Lubricate Spool with Silicone
Lubricant or WD-40 or Penetrating Oil to prevent
rusting.
•Ensure Drive Sprockets are clean of any debris, if the
area between the sprocket and pillow block bearing gets
wrapped with trash the chain could jump a tooth
causing the push bars to go out of time.
•Grease Fork daily to assure maximum life of bushings.
•Ensure Drive Chains are clean of any debris and ensure it
moves freely. Lubricate chains every 50 hours with a dry
chain lube.
•Check the push bar daily to ensure it is tracking
correctly.

Chain Tension
Ensure proper chain tension for both the
double #80 push bar chain and the #60 drive
chain.
A. To adjust the tension on the double #80
the tensioner bolts are located at the front of
the machine. First loosen the jam nut (this is
the outer most nut) then you can tighten or
loosen the chain by turning the second nut.
Periodically check the chain tension by lifting
up on the chain between the wheels (this is
important as it is the middle of the chain
assembly). Once Proper tension is achieved
(32 lbs) use the jam nut to lock it into
position.

Chain Tension
B. To adjust the tension on the #60 drive
chain the tensioner bolts are located near
the rear of the machine just forward and
above the motor mounts. First loosen the
jam nut (this is the outer most nut) then you
can tighten or loosen the chain by turning
the second nut. Periodically check the chain
tension at the rear of the machine. Once
Proper tension is achieved use the jam nut to
lock it into position. Note: proper tension is
achieved when there is only 1/8” deflection
in the chain.

Chain Timing/Connecting Links
A. When checking the timing of the push bar chains (double
#80) it is important to check the connecting link for proper
spacing. First the push bars need to be at the forward most
position (at the front of the machine), then check that there
is proper spacing on both sprockets. Note you must ensure
that both sprockets have the same gap and the link can be
rocked forward and back by hand when the push bars are in
the forward position.
B. If a chain is replaced, it is recommended to replace both so
that they are the same length.
General Service Training

Lubrication
A. Grease, ensure the following areas are properly
greased: Fork assembly (bale fork pins (2) every
250 bales), rear drive shaft bearings (3) (every 50
hours), and wheel hubs (1) (every 500 hours).
Note: use a good grade lithium based grease.
B. Chain lube, ensure the drive chain and the push
bar chain (4) are properly oiled (every 50 hours
with dry chain lube), this will help with smooth
operation and prevent corrosion/rust.
C. Inspect wheel hubs for free play weekly, repack
them annually.
General Service Training

Tire Pressure & Wheel Torque
Tire Pressure and wheel torque
A. Ensure tire pressure is set to 60 psi.
B. Ensure that wheel lugs are torqued to 150 lb. ft.
C. Check wheel studs daily until torque is maintained.
General Service Training

Transportation/Storage
Transport
When transporting place side rails in the transport position, this is where the rails are in the
uppermost position using the bottom most pin hole. After that make sure safety chain in latched to
the fork before transporting.
•Check that bale fork is fully raised and transport lock is secured.
•Be aware of the height, length and width of implement. Make turns carefully and be aware of obstacles and
overhead electrical lines.
•Always travel at a safe speed. Do Not Exceed 20mph.
•REDUCE SPEED with a load. Do Not Exceed a speed of 10mph.
•The slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem and reflectors must be secured and be visible on the machine for transport.
•Use flashing amber warning lights, turn signals and SMV emblems when on public roads.
•Do not transport in poor visibility.
•Avoid soft surfaces, the additional wing weight on the wheels could cause the machine to sink.

Transportation/Storage
Storage
When storing ensure the following:
•Clean machine thoroughly
•Inspect all parts for wear or damage
•Lubricate grease fittings
•Lubricate chains
•Tighten all bolts to specs
•If able lower fork and release hydraulic pressure
•If fork must be stored in a raised position, ensure that
the fork is properly secured with lock pins/ safety
chain.
•Level bale hiker using hitch jack and block up.
•Relieve hydraulic pressure from hydraulic system.
•Raise main frame, block up and relieve weight from
the tires.
•Cover tires with canvass to protect them from the
elements when stored outside.
•Coat exposed cylinder shafts (Refer to “Cylinder shaft
protection” in operators manual).
•Paint any surfaces that have become worn. On the
bed use either paint or slip coat.
•Store implement away from areas of main activity.
•Do not allow children to play on or around stored
implement.
