- Safety Guidelines Equipment Safety Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. Many accidents can be avoided by observing the precautions in this section. To avoid personal injury, study the precautions listed in this manual and follow them. Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Review the safety instructions with all users annually. This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment s operation. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works. If you have any questions not answered in this manual or require additional copies, please contact your DewEze dealer or Harper Industries. General Spear Bed Safety SAFETY WARNING! Contact with the spear tips can cause injury or damage to property. Make sure that the area surrounding the spears is clear of obstacles, especially humans or animals. Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction decal that is not readable or is missing. Make sure all safety pins are in place and flatbed mounting bolts are secure to the truck frame. Make sure hinges and joints are well greased, especially during off season to prevent rusting and binding. Check with truck dealer for any load limits, additional suspension or tire requirements. The flatbed s lifting capability may exceed the truck s load capacity in some instances. Electric / Hydraulic Safety SAFETY WARNING! Hydraulic system operates under high pressure and escaping fluid can penetrate the skin. The electric motor has a 60% duty cycle; meaning if it is used for six minutes, is should be allowed to cool off for four minutes. Replace hydraulic hoses when they show signs of wear or cracking.
Operating Instructions Beginning Operation Make sure that engine is running while operating the Spear Bed. Loading Back the truck against the bale with the spears pointing backward and parallel to the ground. Depress LOAD side of rocker switch on hand control until the spears are pointing upward and perpendicular to the ground, allowing complete visibility of the taillights. Check Daily or Before Use Check hydraulic oil level. Examine hydraulic hoses for cracks or loose fittings. SAFETY WARNING! Do not check for hydraulic leaks with your hands. Use a piece of wood or cardboard. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin and may cause death if not treated immediately. Grease Maintenance The DewEze Spear Bed has greaseless bearings. No grease is required. Hydraulic Oil SAFETY WARNING! Obstructing sight of the taillights may cause a serious traffic accident. Unloading Depress UNLOAD side of rocker switch until bale rests on ground and spears are parallel to ground. Drive away from bale slowly. Storing the spears Store the spears in the two cylinders incorporated into the toolbox. Change hydraulic oil when it is milky in appearance, or annually. In cold weather, the Spear Bed will move slower than normal until the hydraulic oil warms up. Other Maintenance Notes High heat, 190 or greater, can be damaging to the hydraulic system. Feel various parts of the system to make sure there are no hot spots which may indicate a problem. In the off-season, run the bed at least twice a month to prevent valve condensation.
