Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the hay spear, identify the mounting point on your loader or bucket. Use the provided sleeve and hex nut to secure the base of the spear, ensuring it is tightened to manufacturer specifications to prevent wobbling under heavy loads. Always check the mounting plate for compatibility before attempting installation.
To maintain the tool, perform the following:
- Routine Inspection: Periodically check the hex nut for tightness, especially after the first few uses.
- Clean Surface: Keep the spear clean of debris and mud to maintain the integrity of the protective red coating.
- Storage: Whenever possible, store the equipment inside or undercover to extend the life of the spring steel finish.
- Check for Bends: Inspect the spear for any signs of structural deformation if it has been subjected to accidental impacts.
