5.2    MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS 

By  following  a  careful  service  and  maintenance  program  for  your  machine  you  will    

enjoy many years of trouble-free operation. 

5.2.1 CRADLE TILT SYSTEM: 

The 

Bale  Processor

  is  designed  with  a  system  that  automatically  reverses  the 

cradle

 

direction during operation to evenly move the bale over the rotor for 

shredding. When maintaining the cradle system, follow this procedure: 

1. Stroke:

The cradle is designed to tilt from side to side during operation to prevent bridging over

the rotor and flails. Its objective is to tilt to one side until the bale is almost ready to roll

and then tilt to the other side.

a. Move the actuator bars on the frame to set the stroke.

b. Move the arm up to increase the stroke and down to decrease.

c. The factory setting will provide the best overall performance and is set at 1 1/2”.

NOTE: 

In  general,  soft,  wet  bales  require  more  stroke  than  hard,  well  formed

bales. The type of material being processed will also affect the adjustment of the total

stroke.

2. Speed:

Use the tractor hydraulic system and cradle flow divider to set the tilting speed.

a.

Set the cradle frame actuator arms to provide maximum stroke.

b.

Set the tractor hydraulic system flow control in its 1/4 flow position.

c.

Set the 

Bale Processor

 flow at maximum (7 on scale).

d.

Start engine and engage cradle tilt circuit.

e.

Time a full cycle. It should not be less than 8 seconds.

f.

Use the tractor flow divider to set the cycle speed.

g.

Use the 

Bale Processor

 flow control to set the speed if the tractor is not equipped

with a

 

flow control.

NOTE: 

The  best  results  are  obtained  when  it  takes  10  to  12  seconds  to

go

 

through one complete cycle.
