Safety Rules
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
• Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our eorts 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.
• 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 RULES
1. Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons
are 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.
2. 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.
3. A frequent cause of personal injury or death is from persons falling
o equipment and being run over. Do not permit persons to ride on
this machine.
4. 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.
5. Collision of high speed road trac 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 trac pass.
6. Make sure that the implement is fastened securely to the tractor
/truck by using the proper hitch pin, clip and safety chains.
9. IMPORTANT: Use caution when transporting. Be alert of the
transport unit’s overall width when approaching obstacles, such as
post signs and poles, along the road. Check the transport width of
the unit to ensure clearance before entering bridges.
10. Do not allow anyone to stand between tongue or hitch and
towing vehicle when backing up.
11. Choose the most level route possible when transporting across
elds.
12. Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate gravity box until all
power is shut o.
13. Keep all safety shields in place. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing
away from the moving parts while the unit is in operation.
14. The service ladder is for service work only. If you must climb into
the grain tank, be certain that all power is shut o and then use
extreme caution when climbing into the grain tank. Never allow
anyone in, near or on the gravity box during transporting or unloading grain. Moving grain is dangerous and can cause entrapment,

Initial Operation / Maintenance
WARNING BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAVITY BOX.
Before the gravity box is put into service:
Has the track assembly (opens door) been lubricated for less wear on the sprocket and track and for easier door operation.
Has the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) Emblem been positioned with a point of the triangle upward and as near to the rear and
centered or as near to the left of center of the unit as practicable? Is it located two to ten feet above the ground measured
from the lower edge of the emblem?
Has the gravity box been properly attached to the running gear? If no rocking bolster is used, bolt all four corners (use 1/2”
bolts provided) of the gravity box runners to the running gear. (If the box is used in rough terrain, bolt a minimum of two
corners and chain (or cable) the remaining corners to allow more box exibility.
Have all braces, bolts, nuts, lug bolts, and lug nuts been checked to ensure that they are properly fastened?
NOTE: The proper torque for the wheel lug nuts is 350 ft lbs.
Have the safety instructions been read and clearly understood by the operator(s) of this machine.
Do the lights work properly? Are all reective decals clean and visible? Are they positioned correctly?
Are the tires properly inated? The following is to be used as a general guide for tire ination for cyclic use. Figures can vary
depending on specic 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 psi
BRAKING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
WARNING 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 too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.
For towed equipment WITHOUT brakes, the following is recommended:
Do NOT tow equipment that does not have brakes at speeds over 32 km/h (20 mph); or that, when fully loaded, has a mass
(weight) over 1.5t (3300 lb) and more than 1.5 times the mass (weight) of the towing unit.
For towed equipment WITH brakes, the following is recommended:
Do NOT tow equipment that has brakes at speeds over 40 km/h (25 mph); or that, when fully loaded, has a mass (weight) more
that 4.5 times the mass (weight) of the towing unit.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse
conditions, when turning and on inclines.
WARNING
Before lling the gravity box, make certain that no one is inside the grain tank. Never allow children or anyone in, near, or on
the gravity box during transport or during loading or unloading of grain. Be aware that moving grain is dangerous and can
cause entrapment, resulting in severe injury or death by suocation.
After hauling corrosive materials such as fertilizers, be sure to wash out the grain tank to prevent premature rusting. Bare
spots on metal should be primer coated before applying the outer surface paint.
385/65R22.5 70
425/65R22.5 85
Check the box periodically for cracks in welds and for other structural damage. Have cracked welds fixed immediately.
Failure to do so could result in extensive damage and greatly reduce the life of the gravity box.

Lubrication Service Schedule
IMPORTANT: Your Gravity Wagon has grease ttings at all critical points. These should be serviced before the
Gravity Wagon is put into operation each season.
IMPORTANT: Your Gravity Wagon is equipped Oil Bath Hubs that should be ushed once a year. Follow the steps below:
HOW TO FLUSH THE OLD OIL OUT OF THE OIL BATH HUBS
Before you begin check the hub for leaks and wear. Replace components as necessary.
1.) Roll the hub until the ll plug is on top.
2.) Drain the hub by removing the cap.
3.) Use light weight motor oil to ush out remaining oil. (After draining the old oil)
*There is no need to tilt the hub, the oil will ow through the bearing easily.
4.) Replace cap. Torque cap to 30-40 ft. lbs.
5.) Replace oil with 80-90WT Sta-Lube from NAPA. (This oil has a rust inhibitor additive)
HOW TO ADD OIL TO OIL BATH HUBS
IMPORTANT: Use Napa STA-Lube - GL5 80/90 WT with Rust Inhibitors FL2472 for the Oil Bath Hubs.
1.) Remove breather plug. (3/4” Wrench)
2.) Use an oiler hand pump to add 80-90WT Sta-Lube oil from NAPA.
It takes 8 ounces to ll hubs to the recommended level.
3.) Replace breather plug. First hand tighten, then use 3/4” wrench to make a 1/4” of a turn.
Routine Maintenance
WARNING BE CERTAIN ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF WHEN SERVICING THE GRAVITY WAGON.
• Check the gravity wagon periodically for cracks in welds and for other structural damage. Have cracked welds xed immediately.
Failure to do so could result in extensive damage to the gravity wagon and greatly reduce the life of the unit.
• Check all hydraulic hoses for wear and replace as necessary. (If equipped)
• Make sure all tires are properly inated. See INITIAL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE in the Owner’s Manual for recommended
instructions for tire pressure. It is important that tires are inspected before and after unit loaded.
• Follow the lubrication service schedual above to ensure proper lubrication.
• Check that the lug nuts are properly torqued to 350 ft lbs.
Your local, authorized dealer can supply genuine replacement parts. Substitute parts may not meet original equipment specications and may be dangerous.
When performing maintenance work, wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing
and head. Follow Operator’s Manual instructions to ensure safe and proper maintenance and repair.
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF TO THE GRAIN CART BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR WORK.
Storage Preparation
IMPORTANT: When the gravity wagon is not going to be used for a period of time, store the unit in a dry, protected place. Leaving
your gravity wagon outside, open to the weather will shorten it’s life.
Follow the procedure below when your gravity wagon is placed in storage for periods up to six months.
1. Wash or clean and completely lubricate the grain cart. See the lubrication service section in this manual.
2. Remove all grain from inside the grain tank.
3. Touch up areas where paint may have worn away. Use a good quality primer paint, especially before re-applying graphite paint
to the interior slopes of the grain tank.
4. Clean the tires before storage. Inate the tires at regular intervals.
9
Bleeding The Brake Lines
METHOD ONE (requires two people)
Close all bleed screws.
Start with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder. Slip a transparent bleed hose on the bleeder stem and place the other end
of the hose in a clean container which is partially lled with uid at all times.
The rst person depresses the brake plunger SLOWLY (take 3-5 seconds). THEN the second person opens the bleed screw. He then
closes the bleed screw BEFORE the rst person SLOWLY releases the plunger (3-5 seconds). Continue until there is no evidence of
air in the bleed hose. Continue with remaining wheels working from the longest to the shortest distance from the master cylinder.
Top o master cylinder as needed to prevent reintroducing air into the lines.
IMPORTANT:
1) Depress plunger slowly
2) Open bleed screw
3) Close bleed screw
4) Release plunger slowly
METHOD TWO (one person)
Attach bleed hose to rear wheel as in method one. Open bleed screw. SLOWLY depress plunger (3-5 seconds). Repeat until line is
air free. Close bleed screw. Top o master cylinder as needed to prevent reintroducing air into the lines.
Repeat with remaining wheels.
DANGER: Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum products or other materials may result in
brake failure or costly repairs.
Adjusting the Brake Master Cylinder
1) Remove the shield. Use a 9/16” wrench to remove the (2) 3/8” x 1” serrated hex head bolts from shield.
2) Loosen the 1/2” nut on the plunger pin. Use a 3/4” wrench.
3) Rotate the plunger rod to adjust.
- For more aggressive braking action turn the plunger rod counterclockwise. (This will lengthen the assembly)
- For less aggressive braking action turn the plunger rod clockwise. (This will shorten the assembly)
DANGER: Do not adjust all the “Play” out of the plunger system. This will cause the brakes to be activated at
all times and over heat the drums causing failure.
NOTE: This braking system is to assist the pull vehicle in the braking mode, not to take the place of it.
The braking plunger system should have approximately a 1/4” of “play” when adjusted for level road travel.
4) Tighten the 1/2” hex nut to keep plunger rod in place.
5) Put the shield back on and tighten both 3/8” x 1” SF hex bolts.
10
Gravity Wagon Trail Adjustment
• Keep tongue bolt tightened. The tongue bolt should be as tight as possible without over restricting the vertical
motion of the hitch.
• An extra washer (shown below) can be added if the nut is tightened so far that it runs out of threads before the
tongue bolt is as tight as possible.
Hitch
Tong ue Ea r
• Tires should be inated to the manufactures specications.
• For running gears equipped with used tires, If either of the front tires look to be excessively worn or unevenly
worn they should be rotated with a less worn rear tire, if possible.
• The front tires should be towed in 3/16” on front overall, from rim to rim. 1/8” Min to 1/4” Max.
• Make sure the inner tongue bolt (shown below) is tightened enough to mitigate slop but still allow the inner
tongue to slide in and out of the outer tongue. It is acceptable to see the outer tongue squeezed inward by the
inner tongue bolt for a slop free t.
Outer Tongue
Inner Tongue Bolt
11
Adjusting Running Gear Toe-In
• Locate the tongue in the straight and horizontal position. Check this by measuring both “L1” locations. Once both
locations are the same length, move onto the next step.
• Measure both “L2” locations. Adjust both tie-rods to assure both measurments are equal, if necessary.

same, repeat the entire process.
