PROBLEM:
SOLUTION:
11: Machine breaks ASA160 link
Check chain alignment of large sprocket,
Tol/- 2 mm.
Check chamfer on edge.
Check roll pins used in joiner link.
Check idler tension.
12: Bale goes in too quickly
If the bale goes into the machine too quickly, it may place
unnecessary load on the tractor and drive line, as well as
slowing overall mixing time as the body blades aren’t as
efficient at chopping long fibrous material as the top knife.
Check tine buffers and tine to top knife gap.
13: Excessive hitch wear
If excess hitch wear is noted check:
-Speed of use, hitch rated for 25 km/h maximum.
-Hitch is level on tractor.
-Fit of hitch & lubrication.
-Wear on tractor hitch.
-Check brake operation matches tractor brakes.
-Excessive movement – not tight on pin/hitch.
14: Leaking valve chest (where fitted)
Check oil is only flowing from pressure “P” side to tank “T”
side. Reverse pressuring the valve check will damage the
seals. The addition of a one way valve on the return pipe will
prevent this.
15: Blockage at top knife
On non-BaleBlend models, load smaller sections of material
into machine
On BaleBlend models check tine height settings
Ensure all feed materials are free from foreign objects before
loading into machine
In the unlikely event of a large blockage occurring which
prevents the machine from restarting using the tractor, it may
be necessary to enter the mixing chamber to manually clear the
blockage. Please refer to Section 4 – Safety, in particular point
“u”
16: Blockage at auger
Use VFC door to meter material intake into auger
Refer to section 5.6 – Feeding Out for correct operation of VFC
door
In the unlikely event of a large blockage occurring which
prevents the machine from restarting using the tractor, it may
be necessary to enter the mixing chamber to manually clear the
blockage. Please refer to Section 4 – Safety, in particular points
“u”
17: Blockage at Rear Feed-out
conveyor
Use VFC door to meter material intake into auger
Refer to section 5.6 – Feeding Out for correct operation of VFC
door
Ensure the conveyor belt rotates as VFC is opened
Check setting of priority flow valve (if fitted)
In the unlikely event of a large blockage occurring which
prevents the machine from restarting using the tractor, it may
be necessary to enter the mixing chamber or gain access to
the discharge auger chamber to manually clear the blockage.
Please refer to Section 4 – Safety, in particular point “u”
