TIGHTENING WHEEL NUTS

Standard 3/4” wheel studs and nuts should be tightened to torque 500 Ft.-Lbs. During initial operation of the grain cart and then checked for proper torque 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. Standard 22mm studs with 900/60R32 tires should be tightened to torque 600 Ft.-Lbs.

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, judgment, 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 traffic and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On roads, use flasher lights according to local laws. Keep slow-moving-vehicle emblem visible. Pull over to let faster traffic pass.

Hydraulic oil leaking under pressure can penetrate skin and cause infection or other injury. To prevent personal injury,

•Relieve all pressure, before disconnecting fluid 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 fluid, see your doctor immediately.

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

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

Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate the 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 the grain cart is in operation.

The service ladder is for service work only. If you must climb into the grain tank, be certain that all power is shut off and then use extreme caution when climbing into the 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 filling 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 the grain tank. Hands, feet, hair and clothing can fit 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 the jack stand is properly mounted and in place and the wheels are properly blocked to prevent the cart from moving.

Initial Operation and Maintenance

WARNING

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 filled with EP-80-90 gearbox lubricant?

Have all nuts, bolts, bearings and braces been properly fastened? Has the PTO been checked for proper overlap?

IMPORTANT: Has the slip clutch on the PTO been serviced? If the slip clutch is left unchecked, damages to the power-take-off and drive shaft may result. Before using the grain cart, loosen the bolts around the slip clutch. Make sure the friction plates turn free of each other and are not corroded together. Re-tighten the tension bolts. Run the auger system EMPTY and check for proper engagement of the slip clutch.

CHECK PTO OVERLAP LENGTH. Overlap length may vary depending on the tractor model and hitch setting. Try to obtain the greatest possible overlap without bottoming out in the extreme operating conditions. Too much overlap may cause the PTO to bottom out and damage the driveline. Not enough overlap may cause the PTO front and back halves to separate. From the fully compressed (shortest) length the PTO should be telescoped (extended) between 10” and 22”. Different PTO lengths may need to be purchased to accommodate your terrain. A 4” shorter or a 10” longer PTO can be ordered through your dealer from J&M Manufacturing.

GREASE BEARINGS: 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 shaft been properly greased at all points including the cross bearings? Has the universal joint at the gearbox been greased? Have all grease points at the auger hinge area, including the hanger bushing assembly been greased?

TIRE PRESSURE: Are the tires properly inflated? The following is to be used as a general guide for tire inflation for cyclic use. Figures can vary depending on specific brand of tire used. It is important that tires are inspected before and after the unit is loaded. The tire should stand up with no side wall buckling or distress as the tire rolls. Do Not Exceed The Tire Pressure Indicated Below:

Tire Size			Pressure

Operating Instructions

WHEEL NUTS: Are the wheel nuts properly fastened? Torque to 600 Lbs.-Ft. for standard 22mm wheel studs and nuts.

Torque to 500 Lbs.-Ft. for 3/4” wheel studs and nuts. Wheel studs and nuts 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 studs and nuts.

Once the seats are damaged, it will become impossible to keep the lug nuts tight.

The drawing shows the proper way to mount 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. We recommend you inspect your wheel nuts to make sure they are Figure 1 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 the lights within 16” (40,6cm) of the left and right extremities of the grain cart. Is an SMV Emblem attached to the rear of the grain cart?

Are the lights working properly? Are all lights and reflective decals clean, visible and properly placed?

WARNING

BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF WHEN HOOKING UP TO TRACTOR OR CONNECTING HYDRAULIC LINES TO TRACTOR.

Preparing the Grain Cart for Use: Models 1050 & 1051 requires a 225+ hp tractor or larger.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT pull a loaded grain cart on highway. For incidental highway travel, observe the section below. Tow Loads Safely

Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads and on slopes. Towed loads with or without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast, can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.

Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits, which may be lower.

Road Travel (grain cart empty): Do not travel more than 32 km/hr (20 mph) and do not tow loads more than 1.5 times the pulling unit’s weight.

Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse surface conditions, when turning, and on inclines.

WARNING: For greater stability on uneven or steep terrain, position non-scale wheel spindles at the furthest out setting.

IMPORTANT:

1) Connect grain cart hitch to tractor drawbar using a good quality hitch pin. Attach the safety chain to the tractor and around the A-frame of the cart as shown. Make sure the grain cart hitch properly matches the hitch of the tractor. Use a single prong (spade) grain cart hitch with a tractor double prong (clevis) hitch. Use a double prong (clevis) grain cart hitch with a single prong (spade) tractor hitch.

Safety Chain User Instruction

a)Secure the safety chain by looping it around the each side of the grain cart as shown and connecting to the towing machine’s attaching bar.

b)Do Not allow any more slack than necessary for articulation (maximum 11 inches)

c)Do Not use any intermediate support as the attaching point.

d)Store the safety chain by securing it around the main axle A-frame of the grain cart.

e)Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched or otherwise damaged or deformed.

2)Attach the power-take-off shaft to the tractor. The PTO must have at least 10” of engagement. Check tractor drawbar for clearance and length and adjust if necessary. Make sure the PTO does not bottom out when making sharp turns as it may bend the drive shaft.

3)Make sure the jack stand is removed from the lower support position before the cart is moved. Never use the jack to support a loaded grain cart.

Operating Instructions (Continued)

4)Be sure that no debris or foreign objects are in the grain cart.

5)Attach the hydraulic lines to the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (green band) operate the inside gate mechanism. Connect these lines to one service outlet on the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (yellow band) operate the folding mechanism of the auger. Connect these lines to a second service outlet on the tractor. The remaining two hydraulic lines (red ban) operate the hydraulic flow control spout located at the end of the upper auger. Connect these lines to a third service outlet on the tractor. Make sure the air is bled from the hydraulic cylinders and hoses.

6)Run the auger system EMPTY before loading grain into the tank for actual use. Make certain that the slip clutch is operating and that the upper and lower augers are properly engaged.

7)Connect the lighting 7-prong connector end on the main wiring harness to the tractor electrical outlet. Make sure that all flasher and turn indicator lights are working properly before incidental highway travel.

CAUTION

•Do NOT operate the grain cart before reading and understanding the Operator’s Manual and ALL danger, warning and caution signs.

•Be sure that a Slow-Moving-Vehicle emblem is attached to the rear of the grain cart.

•Never exceed 1,000 rpm on the PTO and driveline system.

•Never fold or extend the auger until the PTO has come to a complete stop.

•Never fill the grain cart unless the gate indicator is in the closed position.

•Never allow foreign objects (shovels, etc.) to be placed inside the grain cart.

•Never engage the lugs and drive dogs on the augers when the system is moving at a high rate of speed.

•Never perform maintenance work or service the grain cart with the tractor running.

Loading and Unloading the Grain Cart

1)With the gate indicator in the closed position, fill the tank with grain.

2)With the PTO disengaged, fold the discharge auger to the upright position.

3)IMPORTANT: After the upper auger is in the upright position, be sure to start the PTO at a SLOW RATE OF SPEED until the lugs on the upper auger engage the drive dog on the bottom auger. Failure to follow this procedure may cause extensive damage to both the drive dog and the drive line.

4)Increase the PTO speed and slowly open the inside tank gate until the gate indicator rod located above the upper auger is halfway between the Open and Closed position. When grain begins flowing from the discharge auger, continue to open the gate to obtain the desired unload rate.

5)To stop unloading grain, return the inside tank gate to the closed position and allow the material inside the auger to unload. For complete cleanout, gradually close the inside tank gate. Once the grain has ceased to flow, disengage the PTO and allow its rotation to come to a complete stop. The upper auger is now ready to be returned to the stow position. IMPORTANT: Do Not Pull the grain cart through the field with the unloading auger in the upright position. Failure to return the auger to the lowered stow position may damage the hinge and greatly reduce the life of the auger system.
