SAFETY

YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and

maintenance of your ValMetal Round Bale Grinder.
YOU must ensure that you and anyone else who is
going to operate, maintain or work around the
Grinder be familiar with the operating and mainte­nance procedures and related SAFETY information
contained in this manual. This manual will take you
step-by-step through your working day and alerts you
to all good safety practices that should be adhered to
while operating the Grinder.

Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people
around you. Make these practices a working part of
your safety program. Be certain that EVERYONE
operating this equipment is familiar with the recom­mended operating and maintenance procedures and
follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents
can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by
ignoring good safety practices.

Grinder owners must give operating instructions to
operators or employees before allowing them to
operate the Grinder, and at least annually thereafter
per OSHA regulation 1928.57.

The most important safety device on this equipment
is a SAFE operator. It is the operator's responsibility
to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating
instructions in the manual and to follow these. All
accidents can be avoided.

A person who has not read and understood all oper­ating and safety instructions is not qualified to oper­ate the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or
death.

4.2 MACHINE COMPONENTS

The ValMetal Round Bale Grinder is a large rotating
tub over a spinning rotor that is equipped with sickle
sections to tear the material into small pieces.

A moveable grate controls how fast the material feeds
into the rotor. An auger in the bottom of the frame
next to the rotor conveys the shredded material into
the blower for discharge.

A chute or spout is attached to the opening to direct
the flow of material. A moveable deflector on the top
of the spout is used to direct the flow.

Spring loaded baffles inside the tub move the bulk
material as the tub turns to provide consistent feed­ing. Power to the rotor is supplied through a PTO dri­veline from a tractor.

4.5 EQUIPMENT MATCHING

To insure the safe and reliable operation of the
Grinder, it is necessary to use it with a tractor of
appropriate size and power. As a guideline, insure
that these requirements are met:

1 - Horsepower: The tractor should have a

minimum of 60 PTO hp for use with dry material
and at least 70 PTO hp for use with wet
material.

2. Drawbar Dimension: The tractor drawbar must

be 14 inches between the end of the shaft and
drawbar pin hole center. This will provide suffi­cient clearance for turning and allow telescoping

of the shaft. Consult your tractor manual for

the drawbar adjustment procedure.

3. PTO Shaft: The tractor must be equipped with

a 1 3/8 inch, 6 spline 540 RPM PTO.

IMPORTANT

Do not use shaft adapters with this machine. They
will alter the required drawbar dimensions and can
lead to overspeeding.

4. Hydraulic System: Hydraulically, the tractor

must have one remote outlet of 6 gpm (25 lpm)
@ 1000 psi (6800 kPa) to operate the rotor
grate.

4.8 OPERATING

Although the Grinder is simple and easy to use it is
recommended that the operator reviews this section
frequently to stay familiar with the recommended safe
operating procedures. It is the responsibility of the
owner to train new operators before they start and
review safety practices with regular operators at least
on an annual basis thereafter.

When operating the Round Bale Grinder, follow this
procedure:

1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.

2. Attach to tractor (refer to section 4.7)

3. Review and follow the pre-operation checklist
(See Section 4.4).

4. Position the machine at the work site such that:

a. The tractor is straight ahead of the machine

and the angles on the PTO drive line are
kept to minimum.

b. The spout can be turned and directed to the

desired position.

c. Sufficient space is available around the

machine to load the tub.

5. Material: The Grinder is designed to shred hay,

straw, haylage, hay silage and paper
during operation. Bales containing rocks, stones,
pieces of metal, roots, wire, twine, plastic
wrapping or mesh must not be used.
These can damage the working components or
wrap in the moving parts. Remove all foreign
material before placing in the tub.

6. Loading tub: Use a loader or fork lift to place

material into the tub. It can be loaded from
above or from the side by opening the doors on
the tubs.

IMPORTANT! Never load the tub while the
machine is running! Always stop the PTO before
loading the machine.

A. Side loading

a. Rotate the tub until doors are centered at

right angles to the machine.

b. Be sure power unit is shut off.

c. Use the winch to retract the baffles.

d. Open the tub doors.

e. Use a loader or fork lift to bring the new

bale up to the Grinder.

f. Completely remove all plastic wrap,

twine or mesh from the bale. Dispose of
them away from the work site.

g. Place bale towards the back side of the

tub.

h. Close and latch tub doors.

7. Starting machine:

a. Clear the area of bystanders.

IMPORTANT

Be sure the winch has been
released so the baffles are free to
extend and move the bale during
operation.

b. Place all controls in neutral and set park brake

before starting tractor.

c. Start tractor engine.

d. Use the hydraulics to raise the rotor grate to its

highest position (cylinder rams completely
retracted).

e. While the tractor is running at low idle engine RPM,

slowly engage the PTO control.

e. When fully engaged, gradually increase the engine

speed until the PTO is running at 540 RPM. Always run
at 540 RPM to obtain the most efficient operation.

f. Lower the rotor grate until you obtain the desired cut.

8. Stopping machine:

a. Raise the feeding grate to its highest position and run until the rotor, auger and blower have

cleared themselves of all material. Allowing them to clear themselves will minimize the chance of
the blower plugging when starting the next time.

b. Slow the engine speed to low idle RPM.

c. Slowly disengage PTO clutch.

d. Stop tractor engine and remove ignition key before dismounting.

e. Retract the tub baffles if the tub is empty.

9. Over Running Clutch

An over running clutch is located on the PTO
shaft on the machine. It protects the braking
system on the output shaft of tractor when
stopping the PTO shaft of tractor. When the
PTO shaft of tractor is stopped, the momentum
of the heavy rotor could actually damage the
brake system.

10. PTO Shear pin: A shear pin on the PTO shaft

protects the machine in case of an overload. In
case of breaking, always replace the shear pin
by one the same size and grade (12mm x 65mm
grade 8.8).

11. Auger Shear Pin: A shear pin on the auger shaft

also protects the machine in case of an overload.
In case of breaking, always replace the shear
pin by one the same size and grade (1/4” x 1 1/2”
grade 2).

12. Machine Plugging: Material can become

jammed or wrapped in the moving components
and plug the machine. Stop engine or discon­nect PTO driveline before unplugging.

a. Rotor/Lever: It may be necessary to

remove the rest of the bale in the tub to
uncover the rotor and auger. Use care.
Bales are heavy.

b. Blower: An access door is located in the

rear of the blower. Remove it to gain
access to the blower. Figure 19.

13. Chute or Spout: Turn the chute or spout to

direct the material to the desired position (A).

Use the lock pin (B) through the mounting flange
to secure the spout during operation.

Use the deflector on the end of the spout to
assist in directing the flow.

On optional hydraulic chute, all controls are on
tractor.

WARNING

Raise grate, place all controls in
neutral, stop engine, set park
brake, remove ignition key and wait
for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing,
unplugging or filling.

5.2.1 KNIVES REPLACEMENT

The knives are located on the rotor in the bottom of
the tub. After long periods of use, they can wear.
They can also be damaged when a hard object goes
through the machine. If worn or damaged, they will
have to be replaced.

To replace knives, follow this procedure:

1. Clear the area of bystanders.

2. Stop the tub when the tub doors are at 90

0

to the

direction of travel.

3. Place all controls in neutral, stop engine, set

park brake, remove ignition key and wait for all

moving parts to stop before dismounting.

4. Disconnect PTO driveline to release the rotor.

5. Remove the nuts and bolts holding the grate

arms(A) to the hydraulic cylinders. Then, lower

the grate arm(A) in order to raise the grate to its

highest position. Tie one of the grate arm to the

machine's frame using a chain(B). This
way, the grate will be held-up allowing you to
change the broken knives. See figure 31-A.

6. Open tub doors.

7. Turn the rotor by hand to bring the damaged or

broken knives to the top side.

8. Remove the bolts and replace knives.

9. Tighten mounting bolts to their specified torque.

10. Inspect all knives by rotating the rotor by hand.

Replace as required.

11. Close and latch tub doors and connect driveline

to tractor.

5.2.2 BELT AND ROLLER CHAINS

The tension of the belts and roller chains are con­trolled by the tension springs on each drive. The
springs should always be set to have a coil spacing of
at least 3 mm (1/8 inch) for the best operation.

To adjust the length of the springs, follow this
procedure:

1. Clear the area of bystanders.

2. Place all controls in neutral, stop engine, set
park brake, remove ignition key and wait for all
moving parts to stop before dismounting.

3. Remove guard covering drive.

4. Either replace the spring or use the nut on the
anchor bolt to change the spring length to
maintain the coil spacing of 3 mm (1/8 inch).

5. If this does not work, the roller chain or belt must

be replaced.

6. To replace, remove spring and remove the belt
or chain.

7. Replace with genuine ValMetal replacement
parts.

NOTE

Use only matched belts for

each multiple belt.

8. Install spring tensioner.

9. Install and secure guard.

WARNING

5.2.3 GEARBOX OIL

The oil level in the gearbox must be checked every 3
months or after 200 bales to insure that the gears
have proper lubrication. If leakage is observed, check
the oil level more frequently.

To check the oil level, follow this procedure:

1. Place all controls in neutral, stop the engine,

remove the ignition key and wait for all moving
parts to stop before dismounting.

2. Remove front guard.

3. Remove oil level plug "B" on the side of the gear

box. Remove fill-up cap “A”.

4. Add through the fill plug "A" until the oil just starts

to come out of the level plug “B”.

5. Install and tighten the fill and level plugs.

6. To change the oil in the gearbox, it is necessary

to remove the gearbox. Remove the tub drive
chain, the belts and then remove the 8 bolts
holding the gearbox.

7. Drain into a container and place in an approved

disposal site.

8. Install the drain plug and tighten.

9. Add oil through the fill plug until oil starts to come
out of the level plug hole.

10. Tighten all plugs.

11. Install and secure the guard.

WARNING

Machine is shown with guard removed for
illustrative purposes only. Do not operate
machine with guard removed.

5.2.4 BREATHER CLEANING

The breather must be able to vent to atmospheric
conditions during the heating and cooling cycles while
operating. If it cannot, oil will seep out the seals and
the machine will run low on oil. Prolonged operation
with low oil levels will damage the internal working
components.

To clean:

1. Remove the breather.

2. Stop up the breather opening using a plastic plug
or a clean rag to prevent contaminants from

entering the gearbox.

3. Soak the breather in solvent for one hour.

4. Use a pointed instrument or a wire to remove
any residue from the breather passages.

5. Blow out using high-pressure air.

6. Blow through the breather to insure that the
passages are clear.

7. Install and tighten breather in the gearbox.

5.2.5. OVER RUNNING CLUTCH & SHEAR PINS

The Over Running Clutch is pre-set from the factory and does not require adjustment.

The machine is also equipped with 2 shear pins. The PTO shear pin is located on the PTO drive (figure 38)
and the auger shear pin is located at the end of the auger shaft (figure 39). These shear pins will break in the
event of an overload. Replace when a pin breaks. IMPORTANT! Do not redrill and replace pin with a larg­er one. Replace with same size and same grade pin (12mm x 65mm, grade 8.8).
