SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to
provide safe equipment can be erased by an operator’s single careless act. In addition, hazard control

and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of

personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

Make certain that the operator(s), prior to operating is instructed in safe and proper use and reviews and
understands the manual(s) pertaining to this machine. Also make certain that the operator(s) reviews and
understands the operator’s manual of the tractor prior to hooking up or operating the grain cart.

Read this manual before you operate this machine. If you do not understand any part of this manual, or
need more information, contact the manufacturer or your authorized dealer.

SAFETY

Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons is measured by how you service, and operate
this machine. Know the positions and functions of all controls before you try to operate them. Make sure

to check all controls in a safe area before starting your work.

The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, federal, state or local laws. Make
certain your machine has the proper equipment as designated by local laws and regulations.

A frequent cause of personal injury or death is from persons falling off equipment and being run over. Do

not permit persons to ride on this machine.

Travel speeds should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where
possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing
slopes and rough, slick or muddy surfaces.

Collision of high speed road trafc and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On
roads, use asher lights according to local laws. Keep slow-moving-vehicle emblem visible. Pull over to
let faster trafc pass.

Hydraulic oil leaking under pressure can penetrate skin and cause infection or other injury.
To Prevent Personal Injury:
Relieve all pressure, before disconnecting uid lines.

Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and components are in good condition.
Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood for this purpose.

If injured by leaking uid, see you doctor immediately.

When transporting the grain cart, always keep the auger in stow position.

Use care when moving or operating grain cart near electric lines as serious injury or death can result from

contact.

Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate grain cart until all power is shut off. Keep all safety shields in place.

Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts while unit is in operation.

The service ladder is for service work only. If you must climb into grain tank, be certain that all power is shut
off and then use extreme caution when climbing into grain cart.

Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before applying power or moving the machine.

Make sure that the grain cart is fastened securely to the tractor by using a high strength hitch pin, clip and
safety chains. Make sure that the grain cart hitch properly matches the hitch type of the tractor. Use a single
prong (spade) grain cart hitch with a double prong (clevis) tractor hitch. Use a double prong (clevis) grain
cart hitch with a single prong (spade) tractor hitch.

Before lling the grain cart, make certain that no one is inside the grain tank. Never allow children or anyone

in, near, or on the grain cart during transport or during loading and unloading of grain. Be aware that moving

grain is dangerous and can cause entrapment, resulting in severe injury or death by suffocation.

Never operate the auger system with anyone inside of the grain tank. Hands, feet, hair, and clothing can

t through the openings in and around the grate. Contact with the auger can cause severe injury or death.

Make certain that all power is shut off before service work is performed.

Before unhooking the grain cart from the tractor, be sure to properly block the wheels to prevent the cart
from moving.

INITIAL OPERATION/MAINTENANCE

BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART.

Before the grain cart is put into service:

Have the safety instructions been read and clearly understood by the operator(s) of this machine?

Has the gearbox been properly lled with EP-80-90 gearbox lubricant?

Have all nuts, bolts, bearings, and braces been properly fastened?

IMPORTANT: Has the slip clutch on the PTO been serviced? If the slip clutch is left unchecked, damage to

the power-take-off and drive shaft may result. Before using the grain cart, loosen the bolts around the slip
clutch. Make sure that the friction plates turn free of each other and are not corroded together. Retighten
the tension bolts. Run the auger system EMPTY and check for proper engagement of the slip clutch.

Check the PTO overlap length. Overlap length may vary depending on tractor model. Try to obtain the
greatest possible overlap without bottoming out in the maximum operating condition. Too much overlap may
cause PTO to bottom out and damage driveline. See OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for recommended
overlap.

Are all bearings on the drive line properly greased? Are all set screws in the bearings and U-Joints tight?
Has the power-take off been properly greased at all points including cross bearings? Has the universal joint
at the gearbox been greased?

Has the hanger bushing assembly at the auger hinge been greased and have all grease points at the hinge

area been greased?

TIRE PRESSURE - Are the tires properly inated? The following is to be used as a general guide for tire
ination for cyclic use. Figures can vary depending on specic brand of tire used. It is important that tires

are inspected before and after unit is loaded. Start with the minimum pressure indicated. The tire should
stand up with no side wall buckling or distress as tire rolls. Do Not Exceed Maximum Recommended

Tire Pressure.
Tire Size Pressure Tire Size Pressure

480/80R42, R1, 154LI 35 psi 520/85R38, R1, 155LI 29 psi
520/85R42, R1, 162LI 41 psi

VERY IMPORTANT:

Under no circumstances is it recommended to tow a loaded grain cart in excess of 8 m.p.h.

WHEEL NUTS - Are the wheel nuts properly fastened (torque to 500 Lbs.-Ft. for standard 3/4” wheel studs

and nuts)? They should be checked after each load during initial operation of the cart and then after
every 10 hours of use. Failure to do so may damage wheel nut seats. Once seats are damaged, it will

become impossible to keep nuts tight.

The drawing shows the proper ways of mounting the wheels using Budd-type nuts.
The wheels supplied with your Grain Cart have straight holes and the Budd nuts will
be mounted according to Figure 1. Wheels that are improperly installed on the grain
cart, resulting in product failure, will nullify warranty and shift the burden of liability to
the owner/operator of the equipment. We suggest that you inspect your wheel nuts
to make sure that they are properly installed. Also, check the wheel nuts on a regular
basis to ensure they are tight.

LIGHTING AND SAFETY DECALS - Are the rear, amber extremity lights properly positioned? Extend lights
within 16” of the left and right extremities of the grain cart. Is a SMV Emblem attached to the grain cart?

Are the lights working properly? Are all reective decals clean and visible? Are they positioned correctly?
