Loading Bales
When using the loading arm to load a bale into the Boss R 4520, keep loading implement at idle and
a low oil ow rate.
• Lower loading arm completely to ground.
Drive forward into bale using the loading arm as a fork. DO NOT SPEAR BALE. DO NOT PUSH
BALES WITH LOADING ARM.
• With bale completely on loading arm forks, raise the loading arm to a position (usually around
half way) where the bale is being cradled by the inner loading arm. The bale should be partially
overhanging the bale chamber.
Note: Bale chamber width is only slightly wider than the bale.

5-2 Section 5 - Processor Operation - Boss R 4520
Use the bucket angle to ensure the bale is against the backside of the chamber, FORCING
MISALIGNED BALE INTO CHAMBER MAY DAMAGE MACHINE.
• Cut strings or netwrap from bale when it is partially into bale chamber. This will ensure loose
material falls into bale chamber. Strings or netwrap can be pulled off from the top of bale.
• Fully raise loading arm to push entire bale into bale chamber.
DANGER! NEVER LOAD BALES WHILE FLAIL DRUM ROTATING.
Shredding
