been properly trained in its intended usage.
DO NOT allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this forage box.
If the forage box becomes clogged, shut off the tractor engine and allow all mechanisms to stop. Disconnect PTO shaft or hydraulic
drive supply hoses (relieve hydraulic pressure). Then, clean or work on the forage box as required.
Always shut off power and disconnectPTO shaftor Hydraulic drive supply hoses (relieve hydraulicpressure) from tractor to prevent
accidental startup or unexpected movement before working on forage box.
DO NOT clean, adjust or reset the emergency stop while the forage box is in motion.
Make sure all hydraulic fittings are tight and that all hoses are in good condition. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury. Never investigate for hydraulic leaks by using a part of the body to feel for
escaping fluid.
Inspect when first delivered and regularly thereafter; that all connections and bolts are tight and secure before operating.

PRE-OPERATION
TRANSPORTING
Be certain your forage box is properly mounted to the
running gear. Consult your dealer if you have any ques
tions about the tie down kit from the manufacturer and il
lustrated in the parts listing of this manual.
DO NOT fill the cross conveyor unloading area with for
age to get extra capacity. Overloading puts unnecessary
pressures and strains on the cross conveyor and auger
drive.
This forage box is to be operated with 540 rpm PTO
. Set your tractor drawbar to conform to the stan
ONLY
dard dimensions as shown on the following illustration.
This will ensure that the PTO drive shaft will not be over
extended.
Always disconnect the PTO drive shaft from the tractor
and return it to the PTO storage bracket on the unloading
unit before transporting. Failure to do this may result in
equipment damage.
If you have a fold down cross conveyor extension, al
ways transport with this extension folded up to reduce
your width. Check and observe that the rear discharge
door is completely latched closed before traveling on
roadways.

HI-LO RANGE
CONTROL
LEVER
The LH control lever is the VARIABLE SPEED control.
Moving this control lever regulates rotational speed of
the unloading augers and the forward speed of the main
apron chains, in conjunction with the HI-LO RANGE control. At the uppermost notch on the control quadrant, the
VARIABLE SPEED control is in “Neutral” position. In this
position, neither the main apron chains advance, nor do
the unloading augers rotate under load, regardless of the
position of the HI-LO RANGE control. Moving the VARI
ABLE SPEED control lever down on the control quadrant
increases speed of both auger rotation and main apron
chain forward travel.
The RH control lever is the HI-LO RANGE control. Cen
ter detent is the “Neutral” position. Shifting the lever up
on the control quadrant is “LO” RANGE and shifting the
lever fully down is “HI” RANGE. Range selection affects
the forward speed of the main apron chains only. In the
“Neutral” position, the main apron chain does not travel
forward.

UNLOADING THE FORAGE BOX
START UP PROCEDURES
Pull the forage box into position and park so that the
cross conveyor discharge opening is in alignment with
the silo filling blower hopper.If the forage box is
equipped with a fold down cross conveyor extension, it
can be lowered before pulling in front of the blower. After
a couple of parking trails, you may become familiar with
the correct parking place and be able to lower the cross
conveyor extension after parking. Always park the for
age box and unloading tractor in a straight line. Minimize
the unloading angle on the PTO drive shaft to prevent
wearing of universal joints when connected to the un
loading tractor PTO. Shift the unloading tractor to “Neu
tral” or “Park” and set the brakes.
NOTE: Normal operation is using a farm tractor. If using
some other vehicle, exercise equivalent caution when
parking and exiting this vehicle.
Properly dismount from the tractor and approach the for
age box by walking along the left side of the tractor as
shown in the following diagram. Do not approach the for
age box from the right side of the machine (left hand unload). Approach the left front area of the forage box, as
this is where the control levers are located. Standing in
the operator position will not require crossing the PTO
drive shaft at any time during the unloading operation.
Remove PTO drive shaft from the forage box PTO stor
age bracket and connect to the tractor PTO. Be sure the
PTO yoke is securely locked to the tractor PTO. If using
an optional hydraulic drive, couple the hydraulic hoses to
the power supply.
Check that the INDEPENDENT OUTFEED CLUTCH
control lever is in the “Stop” position and the VARIABLE
SPEED & HI-LO RANGE control levers are in the “Neu
tral” positions.
NOTE:The INDEPENDENT OUTFEED CLUTCH,
VARIABLE SPEED, and HI-LO RANGE control levers
must be in their “Stop” or “Neutral” positions when en
gaging and disengaging the PTO drive shaft (or optional
hydraulic drive). All forage box control lever selections
are to be made while the PTO (or hydraulic) power is in
operation. If the control levers are engaged before
power is applied, damage may occur to the Variable
Speed drive or Independent Outfeed Clutch drive or
both. Failure to follow correct operating procedures
may cause equipment damage and may void the manu-
facturers warranty.
At this time, start the silo filling blower. Return to the forage box unloading tractor, slowly
engage the PTO, and
set the engine speed from 1300-1500 rpm. to give a PTO
speed of 300-375 rpm.

Return to the operator’s position adjacent to the forage
box controls. Intermittently engage the INDEPENDENT
OUTFEED CLUTCH control lever to the “Run” position
and allow the cross conveyor to empty out any accumula
tion of forage in the front unloading unit. After the forage
has emptied, fully engage the INDEPENDENT
OUTFEED CLUTCH control lever into the “Run” position.
Next, engage the VARIABLE SPEED control lever to
clear forage from the three unloading augers. Intermit
tently move the lever between “Neutral” and the 1
and/or 2ndnotch settings on the control quadrant. This
will engage and disengage the augers at a slow speed to
clear them without the main apron moving forward; be

Idle down the tractor engine rpms. Disengage the PTO
drive shaft and turn the tractor “OFF.” When all move
ment has stopped, disconnect the PTO drive shaft from
the forage box unloading tractor and return it to the PTO
storage bracket. Secure the PTO drive shaft into the
PTO storage bracket with the rubber tie down strap.
Shut down the silo filling blower tractor and wait for all
motion to stop. If the forage box is equipped with a cross
conveyor extension, raise it up to the transport position
and securely latch if before traveling on roadways.
The unloading process described is to be performed by
the operator alone.This will eliminate unexpected
“start-ups” and minimize other hazards that could result
by more that one person in control. If the forage box or
silo filling blower should become clogged, shut off all
power to the forage box and blower. Wait for all motion
to stop. Disconnect PTO drive shaft or hydraulic supply
and return hoses. Then, clean out the machine.

When finished unloading, reduce engine speed to idle
and disengage the tractor PTO or hydraulics. Pull the
forage box straight ahead to pull the rear door away from
the unloaded pile of forage. Gravity will allow the rear
door to swing shut. The rear door latches will engage to
secure it closed. Visibly observe that rear discharge door
properly latches close.
The unloading process described is to be performed by
the operator alone.This will eliminate unexpected
“start-ups” and minimize other hazards that could result
by more than one person in control. If the forage box
should become clogged, shut off all power to the forage
box and wait for all motion to stop. Disconnect PTOdrive
shaft or hydraulic supply and return hoses and then
clean out the machine.
Never use “live” power to aid in the clean-out of a

HYDRAULIC OIL.
GATE DELAY ADJUSTMENTS
When the gate is completely closed (Tight to rear upright) cable and eyebolt assembly should be adjusted so cable
has no slack. Cable should be tight but not overtightened. If cable and eyebolt is overtightened lower cylinder will trip
out of the L-shaped slot on the lower bracket too soon and the gate will try to close before the cylinder is stroked out. If
the cable and eyebolt is too loose the lower cylinder will not trip out of the L-shaped slot and the cylinder will reach its
maximum stroke and the gate will still not be in the closed position. The gate will be held open by the top cylinder
bracket and the bracket may become damaged over time. Eyebolt and cable will need to be adjusted periodically to
maintain proper operation.
