   Bale push bar is activated when gate is opened. Be sure that bystanders are clear and there is sufficient clearance behind baler when opening the gate.

   To prevent injury or damage from a rolling bale, discharge bales on level ground or in such a manner that the bale does not roll.

   Tractor hydraulic flow must be at least 25 L/min (6.5 gal/min) to operate the bale push bar when making full diameter and full density bales. (See Adjust Tractor Hydraulics in Preparing the Tractor section.)

   Do not use the push bar when running B-Wrap. Leaving the push bar connected can cause improper bale orientation and possible tears in the breathable material when the bale is pushed across the crop stubble.

3. To prevent injury or damage from a rolling bale, discharge bales on level ground or in such a manner that the bale does not roll.

   Backing up the baler is not required unless in rolling terrain conditions where runaway bales are likely. In these conditions, lock out the push bar and position baler so bale will not roll after being ejected.

4. Raise gate to eject the bale. Hold tractor hydraulic lever until gate is fully raised. Do not stop gate while raising.

   A slight forward movement of the tractor can be felt as the bale rolls back by the push bar.

   Lower the gate. Keep hydraulic lever engaged until monitor displays gate closed symbol.

6. Proceed making the next bale.

If a bale sticks in the bale chamber, the push bar can swing back before the bale has dropped to the ground preventing the gate from closing. Raise gate fully and drive forward to clear the bale. Push bar will roll over bales up to 1829 mm (72 in) in diameter.
