Safety Guidelines
General Spear Bed Safety
SAFETY WARNING!
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.
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
Maintenance
Beginning Operation
Check Daily or Before Use
•
•
Check hydraulic oil level.
•
Examine hydraulic hoses for cracks or
loose fittings.
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.
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
•
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
condensation.
