Picking up a Round Bale on a Slope
To help prevent injury caused by being struck by a bale rolling down a slope, never use the handler to stop a rolling bale. 1. Approach bale with handler facing uphill, fork level and centered on bale.2. Push fork in bale until bale is against fork frame. 3. Raise and roll back bale just high enough to provide ground clearance for transport. 4. Select low handler speed before moving or turning on a slope. |

CAUTION:
To help prevent injury caused by handler rollover when handling round bales on a slope, avoid side slope travel whenever possible. Drive up slope to pick up a bale and down in reverse. Move bale as close to the ground as possible.
