Safety rst! Read and understand the safety instructions (pg.2-1) before operating.
Before First Use
• Inspect the attachment for shipping damage. If damage does exist, do not operate until the
damaged parts have been replaced or repaired. Replace any damaged parts before operating,
call dealer for Warranty information and/or claims.
• Check air pressure in tires – 35lb. (15.9 kg).
Adjustments
• Machine is assembled complete from the factory less hitch mountings.
• Processor hitch can be moved up or down to suite power
unit drawbar. Remove bolts and nuts from hitch, raise or
lower hitch to desired position and refasten hardware. Deck
of processor should sit level for best operation. Improper
hitch adjustments may cause separation from the PTO
drive-line when operating on uneven terrain.
• Conveyor chain should be adjusted to allow chain slack 1”
(2.54 cm) to 1 1/2” (3.8 cm).
• Deector shield angle can be adjusted by removing lock pin
and moving bar to di󰀨erent hole and/or di󰀨erent pin.
• Check air pressure in tires – 35lb. (15.9 kg)
• If machine is equipped with optional knife kit, it can be
lowered or raised to suite your operation and/or feed
material.
• Flow controls on front of processor adjust the ram (right side)
and top beater (left side). Moving lever left decreases ow to
slow that function, right increases ow - speed up function.
Twist knob to tighten or loosen lever position.

4-2 Section 4 - Processor Pre-operation - Bale Processor Boss II
Preperation
• Check chains and belts for proper tension.
• Make certain that all safety signs are in place and legible.
Refer to the safety sign page in this manual for the placement
of safety signs for this product.
• Remove any twine / netting from ail drum with a utility knife.
Twine build up can cause drum imbalance.
• Make certain that all locking pins, latches and connection
devices are properly installed and secured.
• Remove fork transport lock pin. Store on power unit.
• Remove all foreign objects from processor and bales.
• Back power unit to Boss II hitch.
• Attach Boss II Processor to power unit by dropping drawpin
through holes in processor hitch and power unit drawbar.
• Turn handle on jack until it is fully raised.
• Pull pin out of jack bushing, pivot horizontally, lock pin in place.
• Remove blocking from wheels before moving processor.
• Drive slowly through gates and doors.
• DANGER: Avoid contacting overhead wires.
PTO Driveline
The PTO driveline drives the Flail Drum.
• Inspect driveline shield for free rotation.
• Only connect processor PTO drivelines to corresponding PTO power unit drive shafts, 1000 RPM
to 1000 RPM or 540 RPM to 540 RPM. Do not attempt tp use a miss matched PTO connection.
• PTO drive-line maintenance instructions must be read before attaching and operating. The
maintenance instructions are attached to the chain supplied on the drive-line. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the drive-line and/or machine, may also void warranty.
• Proper and adequate length of the drive-line must be maintained in order to have maximum one
third engagement of telescoping tubing.
• Too short of a drive-line will result in premature failing of the drive-line. Too long of a drive-line will
result in damage to drive-line, tractor PTO and implement.

Processor Hydraulic Connection
Safety rst! Read and understand the safety instructions (pg.2-3)

The Boss II processor’s hydraulic system requires dual outlets on the tractor.
The machine’s hydraulic system performs two functions. One
function tilts the fork for loading bales to top of the machine.
The second function powers the bale pusher by means of a
hydraulic motor. Desired speed of the pusher is controlled by
a ow control valve located on the front of the machine. See
Adjustment section.
