PRE-OPERATION
GENERAL
Whenever adjusting, cleaning, lubricating or otherwise servicing this forage box, you must shutoff and lockout power to the box. Because this box can be truck mounted or powered by a tractor, methods vary. On truck mounted units, the connection between the PTO and box is permanently installed and not intended to be disconnected. On trucks, disengage the PTO drive, turn off the engine, set the parking brake, remove the ignition keys and keep them in your possession to prevent any one else from accidentally applying power to the box un expectedly. For tractors, disengage the hydraulics, turn off the engine, set the brakes.
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.
Be sure your forage box is properly mounted to the truck frame or to the wagon running gear. Consult your dealer if you have any questions about proper installation. A tie down kit from the manufacturer and illustrated in the parts listing of this manual is available for wagon applica­tions.
Hydraulic input to the 9100 forage box requires 35GPM @ 3000 PSI. If truck mounted, install a relief valve set at 3000 PSI. Engine RPM should be 1500 RPM. Set up hy­draulic system on truck mounted units with a 40 gallon reservoir minimum. Call factory for further information.
Depending on make and model of truck, it may be neces sary to install a light converter. (Meyer part #56-0028). Converter allows signallights and brake lightsto operate according to DOT lighting.
AIR BRAKE HOOKUP
Connect the control line (blue) from your truck air supply to the blue gladhand on the trailer. Connect the tank supply line (red) to the red gladhand on the trailer. See figure 1.

WARNING: IF THE ABS INDICATOR LAMP CO MES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES TO A MOVING TRAILER, THE TRAILER ABS IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE ABS MUST BE SERVICED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE UPON COM PLETION OF YOUR TRIP TO ENSURE FULL ANIT-LOCK BRAKING CAPABILITY
HYDRAULIC HOOKUP
Connect hydraulic lines from the hydraulic power supply to the pressure and returnlines as illutrated on figure 1.
START UP AND STOPPING
Operation of the forage box with truck begins when the PTO is engaged to run the hydraulic pump.
-
-
-
WARNING: INSPECT REGULARLY THAT ALL CONNECTIONS AND BOLTS ARE TIGHT AND SE CURE BEFORE OPERATING. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONALINJURY OR DEATH.
Inspect the forage box for proper adjustments as this will ensure maximum machine performance. See “Adjust ments” section. Grease and oil the forage box as re quired. See “Lubrication” section.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE UNTIL ALL SHIELDS AND GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND SE CURELY FASTENED. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RE SULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
LIGHT HOOKUP
A 7 pin electrical socket is provided to plug the electrical control plug from your truck or tractor. See figure 1
This will operate signal, tail,clearance and brake lights.

REAR UNLOAD OPERATION
Whenever adjusting, cleaning, lubricating or otherwise servicing this forage box, you must shutoff and lockout power to the box. Because this box can be truck mounted or powered by a tractor, methods vary. On truck mounted units, the connection between the PTO and box is permanently installed and not intended to be disconnected. On trucks, disengage the PTO drive, turn off the engine, set the parking brake, remove the ignition keys and keep them in your possession to prevent any one else from accidentally applying power to the box un expectedly. For tractors, disengage the hydraulics, turn off the engine and set the brakes.
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.
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. Shift the unloading tractor to “Neutral” or “Park”. Set the brakes and turn power off.
Make sure all persons are well clear of the forage box and the unloading area.
The rear discharge door opens automatically by releas ing 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 for age against the rear door causes it to spring open very quickly.
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.

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

CAUTION - QUICK RELEASE
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.
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 truck PTO drive or thetractor hydraulics. 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 hap pens properly.
-
WARNING: SHUT OFF AND LOCK OUT POWER
BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR
SERVICING THIS MACHINE. FAILURE TOHEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURYOR DEATH.
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 replacement. Per forming 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 forage box to a safe work area and then repair the mechanism 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.
DANGER: NEVER ENTER THE FORAGE BOX FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT FIRST SHUTTING OFF
AND LOCKING OUT POWER. FAILURETO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONALINJURY OR DEATH.
Never enter the forage box for any reason if there is any possibility of power being applied to the unit.

DAILY LUBRICATION
(every 8-10 loads)
Oil (3) 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.
Refill the gravity oiler atthe beginning of each day.
Grease three jackshaft bearings on the rear
driveshaft (each end, one @ center).

Oil (4) rear gate latch pivot bolts.
Grease (3) main apron shaft bearings.
END OF CROP CLEANUP AND MAINTENANCE
Allow box to completely clean out last load of forage. Clean out all forage material from inside the box and on the outside of the box.
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.

ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: SHUT OFF AND LOCK OUT POWER BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THIS MACHINE. FAILURE TOHEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURYOR DEATH.
Correct tension on the apron chains is when the apron chain slat is 1/8” to 1/4” off the return slides (three feet from the front of the box). To tighten chains, tighten the adjuster bolts at each end of the front sprocket shafts. Each apron chain has its own sprocket shaft. Tighten the adjuster bolts at each end of the shaft equally.
The roller chain drives are tensioned by automatic spring loaded tension blocks. Periodically tighteners will need to be adjusted to maintain proper springtension. Springs should be compressed to obtain approximately 5” overalllength.
