SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.

Follow good shop practices.

- Keep service area clean and dry.

- Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.

- Use adequate light for the job at hand.

Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the prime mover in a closed building. The

exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.

Before working on this machine, drive to a level area, disengage the PTO, lower implement (or if working

underneath, raise and block securely), shut off the engine, set the brakes, and remove the ignition keys.

Be certain all moving parts on attachments have come to a complete stop before attempting to perform

maintenance.

Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely. Never depend on hydraulic system to keep imple-

ment in raised position.

Always use personal protection devices such as eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing any

service or maintenance.

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and check that all cotter pins are properly installed to ensure unit

is in a safe condition.

When completing a maintenance or service function, make sure all safety shields and devices are installed

before placing unit in service.

Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic leak on attachments. Use a small piece of cardboard or wood.

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin.

Openings in the skin and minor cuts are susceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid. If injured by escaping

hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once. Gangrene and death can result. Without immediate medical treatment,

serious infection and reactions can occur.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!

Be sure your tractor and loader is in good condi-

tion. Read all the safety precautions and make sure

all equipment operators are familiar with the safety

rules of operation.

WARNING!

■ Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS

cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.

Falling off power unit can result in death from being

run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in

“locked up” position at all times.

■ Do not exceed the maximum recommended bale

weight listed for each of the loader spear models.

Damage to the equipment or serious personal injury

could result.

■ A heavy load can cause instability in driving a

tractor. Make sure the rear of the tractor is properly

counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly

– especially around turns. An unstable tractor could

steer badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or

death.

WARNING!

For multiple spear Models GLB-3000, GLB-330,

GLB-340, always insert spears into the bale – NEVER

under the bale. Failure to insert spears into bale can

allow bale to roll back when loader is raised, causing

serious injury or death.

Check your tractor and front loader to make sure they

are in good working condition. Check all loader mounting

bolts to make sure they are tight.

Check the tractor’s hydraulic system. Be sure the

hydraulic oil and filter have been serviced according to

manufacturer’s recommendations. Refer to your tractor or

loader operator’s manual or dealer for any adjustments

necessary to put the hydraulic system in good working

order.

Be sure tires and rims are in good condition. Inflate tires

to the proper recommended air pressure.

Always use a tractor and front loader large enough to

safely handle your bales.

TRACTOR AND LOADER

REQUIREMENTS AND

PREPARATION

——————————————————

The Bale Spear Attachments are designed to fit

Loaders equipped with a tool carrier that accepts Global

or Euro Hook Style attachments.

The required size of the tractor and front loader will be

determined by the size and weight of the bales to be

handled.

Remember, high moisture hay (silage) bales are very

heavy in relation to similar size dry hay bales.

Always use a power unit/loader large enough to safely

handle your bales.

Always be sure your power unit is properly counterbal-

anced for a safe operation. It is a good practice to

use a loader with an equal or greater SAE operating

load capacity.

The maximum recommended weight of large round

bales that can be handled by the various single/two spear

models and weights of rectangular bales that can be han-

dled by three spear units are as follows:

Model

Spear Type

Bale Weight

GLB-2200 Forged Up to 2200 lbs.

GLB-3000 Forged (2) Up to 3000 lbs.

GLB-330 Forged (3) Up to 3000 lbs.
