REAR UNLOAD OPERATION

Throughout this manual, when directed to shutoff and lockout power, be familiar with the previously described procedures for the type of machine you are operating.

References in this manual are made to a PTO drive shaft and are applicable to tractor pulled MODELS.

WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN EVERYONE IS WELL CLEAR OF EQUIPMENT BEFORE APPLYING POWER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Tractor Pulled: Always park the forage 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 unloading tractor PTO. Shift the unloading tractor to “Neutral” or “Park”. Set the brakes and turn power off. Remove the PTO drive shaft

from the forage box PTO stor

age bracket and connect it to the tractor PTO. Be sure the PTO yoke is securely locked to the tractor PTO.

WITH EXTREME FORCE. KEEP ALL PERSONS WELL CLEAR OF THE FORAGE BOX AND UN LOADING AREA. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

From the operator’s seat, restart, and SLOWLY the PTO to start the apron chains and to open the rear door. Once the door opens, regulate the discharge flow with the engine speed. Do not operate above rated en

gine PTO speed.

Unloading is best observed from the operator’s seat. Keep moving the forage box forward to prevent silage from being carried underneath into the main apron chain return area.

The front of the box has a plexiglass window for conve nient observation.

WARNING: DO NOT STEP OVER THE PTO DRIVE SHAFT. STAY WELL CLEAR OF THE PTO AT ALL TIMES. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Make sure all persons are well clear of the forage box and the unloading area.

The rear discharge door opens automatically by releasing its latches as the main aprons begin to move. The rear discharge door can spring open with extreme force when its latches release. See figure 1. Pressure of forage against the rear door causes it to spring open very quickly.

WARNING: THE REAR DISCHARGE

DOOR CAN SPRING OPEN QUICKLY AND

FIGURE1. REAR OPENING DISCHARGE DOOR

CAUTION - QUICK RELEASE

--10-- 8100 Rear Unload

WARNING: DO NOT STEP UP ON ANY PART OF THE FORAGE BOX AT ANY TIME. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

DANGER: NEVER ENTER THE FORAGE BOX FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT FIRST SHUTTING OFF AND LOCKING OUT POWER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

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. Shut off and lockout power. Then clean out the machine.

When finished unloading reduce engine speed to idle and disengage the PTO drive. Pull the rear unload box straight ahead to pull the door away from the unloaded pile of forage. When free, gravity will allow the door to swing shut and the door latches will engage the apron chain links to secure it shut. Observe that this happens properly.

Tractor Pulled: Set the brakes and turn the tractor “OFF”. When all movement has stopped, disconnect the PTO drive shaft from the tractor and return it to its storage bracket. Secure it with the rubber tie down strap.

WARNING: DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE SHAFT BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THIS MACHINE. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Never enter the forage box for any reason if there is any possibility of power being applied to the unit.

Allow box to completely clean out the last load of forage. It is recommended to lube the rear unload box before storage to exclude moisture from bearings. Apply oil to roller chain drives with gravity oil luber and to the apron chains with a brush. This is also a good time to inspect all adjustments and check for parts that need repair or re placement. Performing these tasks now will guarantee that the box is ready for use at the beginning of the next season.

Never use “live” power to aid in the clean-out of a clogged machine. If any mechanism fails, move the for age box to a safe work area and then repair the mecha nism before proceeding with unloading of the forage. If repairs require removal of forage from inside the forage box, remove the rear discharge door (bolted hinges on top of each side) and empty the forage manually by hand through the rear opening.

LUBRICATION

WARNING: SHUT OFF AND LOCK OUT POWER BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRI CATING OR SERVICING THIS MACHINE. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL IN JURY OR DEATH.

DAILY LUBRICATION

(every 8-10 loads)

It is recommended to lube the forage box before storage to exclude moisture from bearings. Apply oil to roller chain drives with the gravity oil luber and to the main

apron chains with a brush.

It is also a goodtime to inspect all adjustments andcheck for parts that need repair or replacement. Performing these tasks now will guarantee that the forage box is ready for use at the beginning of the next season.

Grease (2) PTO drive shaft universal joints (not il

lustrated). Grease (1) PTO drive shaft telescoping

Shaft and tube. Zerk accessible through the plastic

guards (not illustrated)

Oil (2) roller chains on apron drive. This is done by

opening the ball valve on the gravity oiler while

unloading, once per day.

WARNING: DO NOT STAND BEHIND UNIT WHILE PERFORMING THIS OPERATION.
