In order to obtain maximum performance from your grain bag unloader, we recommend you keep
the owner's manual in a handy place for quick consultation. Read the manual carefully before
attempting to unload grain from bags and pay special attention to operating and maintenance
instructions.
Safety precautions
For the operator
Before transporting the grain unloader, verify that:
a) The tow bar pin is properly secured
b) Check tire pressure
c) Check that wheel bolts are properly tightened
d) Attach safety chains between machine's tow bar and
tractor drawbar for added security on the road
Most accidents are caused by human error. Follow all safety procedures.
Make sure all people are safely positioned before starting tractor's engine and engaging
the PTO.
Keep unloader clean and sheltered when not in use. This diminishes risk of deterioration
and eventual failure.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Decals with safety indications and warnings should be strictly heeded, kept in good
condition and replaced if necessary.
When towing the machine, drive with the utmost caution on public roads.
Keep hands, feet and clothing well away from moving parts.
Stop the tractor's engine before attempting a hands-on task on the unloader.

05
WARNING:
At no time during the unloading operation should anyone, except the operator standing at the
hydraulic controls, approach unloader or bag, and that includes both tractor and truck drivers.
Onlookers should keep a safe distance. And never allow anyone to lean against the bag: augers are
turning inside.
2) To the side of the machine, on the roller
cross beam, an array of three levers, a turn knob
and a pressure limiting valve control the
unloader's hydraulics. A decal attached next to
them (Fig. 1) shows each control's function.
First step in preparing for work is raising the
discharge auger. With the tractor's hydraulics
turned on, move the first lever to its upward
position (Fig. 2). This will raise the auger tube
slowly.
As soon as auger is fully extended, move back
the lever to its mid (neutral) position. Once the
unloader has finished working and is to be towed
away, the sequence is reversed and the tube is
lowered by moving down the lever.
The sequence ends once the upper half is resting
firmly upon its transport prop and the control lever
is returned to neutral position.
1) Hitch tractor to unloader, connect hoses to
the tractor's hydraulic circuit and connect drive
shaft to the tractor's power take-off.

NOTE:
A pressure limiting valve set to 850 PSI is provided as a safeguard against excessive pressure in the hydraulic circuit.
If this value is exceeded, oil will bypass the hydraulic motor and momentarily bring operation to a standstill.
Fig.3
Fig.4

3) Next, the second lever is used to regulate working
height (i.e., clearance of the sweep augers to the ground)
by means of a hydraulic cylinder. First, this center lever
should be moved to top position in order to raise the
unloader. To adjust for desired clearance, and the object
here is to set the sweep augers as close to the ground as
possible without scraping against it and compromising
bag integrity (see “General indications for efficient
operation” on page 26), a set of three clamp-on stops of
different size is provided.
Once a combination of stops or a single stop have
been selected and placed around the cylinder rod, the
control lever is pulled down (Fig. 3) so that the weight of
the unloader comes to rest upon the stops (Fig. 4). At this
point the lever is returned to its neutral position. The
height of the machine can be modified at any point, even
when the sweep augers are inside the bag.
IMPORTANT:
The unloader should not be raised or lowered with the hydraulic cylinder if the augers are deep within the grain mass,
as this could place undue strain on some components. The correct procedure is to release a few feet of plastic from
the roller by counter rotating it hydraulically, advance forward with tractor to extricate the sweep augers from the
grain, modify machine clearance with the hydraulic cylinder removing or adding stops as necessary, back the machine
once again into the bag to position the augers next to the grain, and reinitiate PTO and roller to continue unloading.

7) Lower the support stand and reinsert pin
at the base (Fig. 8).
5) Remove the pin at the base of the support stand,
swing the stand upward and attach temporarily to main
beam with same pin (Fig. 5).
4) The third lever, used to control roller rotation,is
not used at this stage.
6) Pull back the
spring-loaded pin that holds the
roller assembly in place during
transport and swivel it 90º to
work position (Figs. 6 & 7).

Attaching the bag
1) Open the end of the bag
and along the top section make
a lengthwise cut approximately
2 meters (7 ft.) long.
Spread open the resultant flaps
to the side
8) Remove the sweeper
screw extensions from their
transport location and insert
them in the main auger shafts,
not mixing left and right hand
screws. Also remove protection
grids and install (Figs. 9 & 10).
9) The sequence is
reversed when changing back
to transport mode.
Fig.10
Fig.12
Fig.9
Fig.11
10
CAUTION:
Do not prolong the cut to the point where grain is filling the bag and exerting pressure. This could cause a rip that
spreads along the full length of the bag.

4) Use the third hydraulic
lever to rotate the bag pick-up
roller until the row of sharpened
studs that will hold the bag fast
reach the topmost position.
(Figs. 15 & 16).
2) Swivel the cutter blade
around so that its cutting edge
faces outward. The blade will
cut open the bag as the roller
pulls it in.
(Fig. 13).
3) Drive the tractor/unloader pair in reverse
and align with the bag opening as straight and dead
center as possible.
Back up the unloader into the bag until the sweep
augers come lightly in contact with the grain, but do
not shove or attempt to wedge the sweep
augers forcefully into the mass of grain.
Be careful that the wheels are not treading on any
part of the bag (Fig. 14).

5) Lift the bottom half of the bag bringing it up to
the roller. Notice that the bottom half is one
continuous section of plastic that runs the entire
length of the roller and that it is the black inner layer
of plastic that is visible.
Punch the plastic sheet through each holding stud
(Fig. 17) leaving a remainder of 10 or 20 inches to the
edge. Do not worry if the plastic is not perfectly
distributed along the length of the roller or if folds and
creases remain after attachment (Fig. 18).

along the length of the roller or if folds and creases

6) Once the bottom half of the bag has been
secured in this manner, place the upper half over the
bottom half already fitted; punch the plastic sheet
through each stud (Fig. 19), starting from the studs at
the end of the roller and progressing toward the
center. Notice that it is the white outer layer that is
now visible and that there are two sections of plastic:
the initial cut has divided the top part of the bag in two
parts. The left segment must be passed to the left of
the discharge auger and fastened to the studs on that
side of the roller, while the right segment must be
passed to the right of the auger tube and fastened to
the studs on that side (Fig. 20). Once unloading
operation is underway, the initial cut will be continued
by the cutter blade.
Once unloading operation is underway, the initial cut
will be continued by the cutter blade.

Fig.20
13
IMPORTANT:
There is no need to be overly precise when fastening the bag to the roller. Even though at this stage the plastic may
look crumpled and in disarray, it will stretch and straighten after a few turns of the roller. The basic consideration here
is having the bottom part of the bag (the part hooked to the roller first) hold some slack relative to the upper part
attached last (one or two feet is enough). The latter should be attached shorter so that the roller tugs at it first. The
small margin of slack in the bottom section plus the plastic sheet's elasticity helps form a rounded shape that contains
the grain as the bag is rolled in. The round shape also helps keep adequate clearance between bag and sweep augers
(see “General indications for efficient operation”, page 26).

2) Engage the tractor PTO with engine idling, throttle so PTO reaches 500/540 rpm's and once the augers are
turning move the roller control lever to its upper position. Normally it is left in that position until the unloading
operation is finished (Fig. 23). Turn to the variable flow valve. This valve handles roller rotation speed through a
turning knob located at the top of the hydraulic valve array (Fig. 24). Turning the knob anti-clockwise increases
rotational speed; turning it clockwise decreases it. The higher the speed, the more grain is brought in. At any point
during operation roller can be brought to a complete halt by closing the valve knob. Open the valve if it was
previously closed and augment speed so that grain begins to be delivered through the discharge auger and to
accumulate at the front end of the bag.
1) Make absolutely sure that the tractor's gear case is disengaged and brakes are off. Failure to
comply with this can result in a torn bag or mechanical malfunction. The machine is now ready to begin
unloading grain. First, use control lever to turn roller forward about half a turn or more so that it gathers
some plastic sheet (Fig. 21) and then move lever back to neutral. Check that the bag passes through the
cutter blade located on the auger tube (Fig. 22) in preparation for beginning work.

3) To determine proper speed, wait until grain
reaches a level that is approximately 10 centimeters (4
inches) below the roller's level and keep it there by
adjusting the knob in either direction. (See “General
indications for efficient operation” on page 22 for further
information on regulating grain height within bag).
This can be verified visually by observing the mass of
grain through the cutter blade opening at the top of the
bag. If the gap between grain level and pick-up roller
grows too close, and grain is being pulled up into the
roller with the bag folds, then too much material is
accumulating inside the bag faster than it can be
discharged.
Operating speed must be lowered by turning knob
clockwise. If the gap between roller and grain
increases, more grain must be supplied by turning the
knob anti-clockwise and speeding up the roller. The
knob is turned very gradually, avoiding any abrupt
changes of grain flow.
The unloader should now be delivering a steady
stream of grain to the receiving truck or trailer (Fig.
25). The truck will have to move every so often to stay
alongside the retreating bag.
Fig.25
15
CAUTION:
It is critical that grain not be allowed to collect higher up in the bag than level recommended (see “General
indications for efficient operation”, page 26) because it can be drawn up with the bag, rolled in with the plastic sheet
and form large masses of bulging grain that continue to get bigger. If that happens, operation is stopped, roller is
disengaged (see “Detaching bag from roller, page 20), tractor is made to advance a few meters so that enough plastic
is unrolled to be cut off with a knife, all the used plastic is discarded from the roller and operation is recommenced.
Although it is ideal that no grain be picked up by the roller, small bulges here and there can be put up with as long as
roller speed is decreased and grain ceases to be pulled in.

4) It is advisable to check direction once in a while
and if necessary correct the steering wheel so that the
tractor continues to be pulled back in a straight line. It
is very important to prevent the sweep auger
extremities from touching the bag sidewalls as this
could tear the plastic.
That is the reason tractor and machine should be
positioned in a straight line and aligned with the bag
when initiating labor. If noticed that the unloader is not
working aligned with the bag and that the auger
protection grids have either come into contact with the
plastic or are about to make contact, it may be too
late to correct the situation by steering alone.
When bags are filled on uneven terrain or the tractor
pulling the bagger swerves or the bagger's brakes are
adjusted while working, the bag can curve, and the
curvature can be quite sudden and pronounced. The
operator should watch for this while unloading and try
to follow curvature with the tractor's steering wheel as
far as possible to avoid contact of the augers with the
bag's walls.
16
CAUTION:
When not possible to correct misalignment by steering action only - in situations as described above - operation
should be halted and the unloader realigned before it ruptures the bag and grain is lost. It should be done as follows:
PTO is turned off and the roller is counter-rotated hydraulically to slacken off as much plastic sheet as may be
necessary to provide scope for maneuvers (there is no need to detach bag from roller for this specific correction).
Tractor and unloader are first driven forward to extract the sweep augers from the grain and then maneuvered to line
up straight with the bag, sweep augers placed next to the grain (not wedged forcefully into the grain) ready to initiate
work again once PTO and roller are reengaged.

08
09
Ending grain extraction
When the bag is to be closed because work has been completed and the unloader is being taken away,
sufficient plastic is unrolled, either hydraulically or by mechanically disengaging the roller, for the bag to
be sealed with plastic strips or 2” x 4” boards nailed together.
Emptying the last section of bag
1) When the unloader reaches a point where it can advance no further because the bag is almost
finished and the augers are not picking up any more grain (Fig. 27), it is time to cut short the main
operation. After stopping hydraulics and stopping the PTO for reason of safety, the operator should use a
knife to rip open the upper part of the bag, remove stops and lower the machine so that the augers may
pick up additional grain (Fig. 28) while the roller remains stationary. The tractor can engage in some gentle
forward and reverse action to boost grain collection. Repeating this sweeping action, the volume to be
loaded by hand can be considerably reduced.
17
IMPORTANT:
Whenever grain extraction is ended, either if the unloader will remain with bag attached to continue work later or if it
will be towed away, the correct termination sequence is as follows:
a) The roller is brought to a complete standstill by setting valve lever in neutral position or closing flow
control knob, in order to stop the input of grain.
b) PTO is left engaged and working for a few minutes so that all loose grain is unloaded, ensuring there is
no buildup inside the discharge auger tube that could be cause of transmission overload and breakdown.
WARNING:
At this stage no one should approach the bag to hasten discharge by heaping grain onto the augers, or attempt any
other action in proximity of the augers since these are turning and could cause serious injury or worse. Stay away!

2) Once all grain possible has been picked up in this way the
tractor engine is stopped. For reason of operator safety, it is now
necessary to disconnect the sweep augers from the main
transmission while still allowing the discharge auger to turn and
unload grain. Remove the lock pin from the sweep auger gear
case and pull out the coupling gears' handle (Fig. 28), which will
disconnect the auger drive. With sweep augers disconnected, the
auxiliary hopper is attached to the slot located at the base of the
discharge auger.
At this stage the sliding panel or divider that separates the sweep
augers from the discharge auger is introduced in corresponding
space between auger flightings (Fig. 29). Then provided crescent
shaped covers are attached to the ends of the divider, thus
effectively covering and sealing both openings of the cylinder
shaped grain reception chamber (Fig. 30). In this way the totality
of grain introduced in the auxiliary hopper will be captured by the
discharge auger, valuable loading time gained as no grain is
tossed out of the chamber by the whipping and churning action of
the auger.
Fig.28
Fig.29
18

CAUTION:
Always disable the sweep augers when grain is being introduced manually in the hopper in the final stages of
work.
Fig.30
Fig.31
19
The tractor engine is turned on, its PTO is engaged and the last
grain remaining in the bag is shoveled into the auxiliary auger by
hand (Fig. 31). Once unloading is concluded and engine turned
off, the sweep auger coupling gears' handle should be pushed in
and the lock pin reinserted. The coupling gears are connected to
the drive shaft by means of a flange fitted with shear bolts. Should
these bolts be cut, unscrew gear case cover and replace with low
carbon steel SAE 1010 or C10 bolts of same diameter as the
original.

10
a) The front section of the
roller chain cover is unscrewed
from the bottom and pulled up,
where it is secured in place with
the same screw. The double
sprocket and chain that drive
the roller are now visible
(Figs. 32 & 33).
b) Roller hydraulic valve is
opened to advance
transmission until lock pin that
links drive sprocket and roller
comes into view (Figs. 34 & 35).
c) R-clip is removed and
this lets the operator draw out
the lock pin, thus disconnecting
transmission to roller and
allowing it to turn freely and
plastic to be pulled off
(Figs. 36 & 37).
To release the bag from the roller once the bag has been completely emptied,
the following sequence is followed:

Back to transport mode
Reverse the order of previous steps to set up the machine for transport:
a) Raise hydraulic cylinder to its maximum height, clamp all the stops on the
cylinder rod and lower again to rest machine on stops. It is important to set
highest clearance for the road.
b) Fold the discharge auger.
c) Disconnect hydraulic hoses and remove PTO drive shaft.
d) After lifting up the pivoting support stand, swivel roller cross beam ¼ of a circle
into its transport position. Then remember to secure support stand to its base
once again.
e) Turn cutter blade round so cutting edge faces inward.
f) Remove outer sweeper screws and grids so machine does not exceed road
transport width allowance.
g) Hitch unloader to towing vehicle.
d) The bag is held from its
end as the tractor advances
unrolling plastic until the entire
strip lies on the ground
(Figs. 38 & 39).
Fig.39Fig.38
IMPORTANT:
Plastic sheet litter is an eyesore and doesn't help the environment. Inquire about recycling alternatives
from your plastic bag supplier or local environmental agency.

WARNING:

Maintenance
To check for main drive chain slack, remove covers located on front part of frame and discharge auger
tube, and adjust idler sprockets if needed.
The drive shaft that connects to tractor's PTO is
equipped with two shear bolts linking yoke and flange
elements (Fig. 40).
They have been installed there to protect the
unloader's driveline and transmission from overloads.
Should they have to be replaced, use soft low carbon
steel SAE 1010 or C10 bolts of same diameter as the
original.
Never use hardened steel bolts or pins as
replacements.
Shear bolts
Lubrication
Roller gearbox, sweep auger and discharge auger transmission cases and chains:
Use 85W-140 premium heavy duty gear lube.
Bearings and chains:
Use heavy duty lithium grease.
Never perform maintenance or lubrication tasks when there are moving parts. Always stop tractor's engine and
remove the ignition key as an extra precaution.

The grain flow concept
The aptitude of different kinds of grain to flow
can be approximately determined by the
angle formed by the sides of a mound lying on
the ground. A steep angle indicates bad grain
flow (Fig. 39) whilst a shallow angle indicates
a good flow rate (Fig. 40).
Some of the factors that contribute to good grain flow are the following:
Remember: the whole working principle of the unloader rests upon the flow characteristics of grain.
Corn above 22% moisture
Soybeans above 22% moisture
Wheat above 20% moisture
Sunflower
Oats
Barley
Paddy rice
Chickpeas
Grains that flow with more difficulty should be extracted at a slower pace as the higher speeds cannot be
attained and if attempted the unloader could suffer mechanical damage. Examples of these grains are:
Corn below 21% moisture
Soybeans below 21% moisture
Wheat below 19% moisture
Examples of grains with good flow characteristics that can be unloaded at higher speeds are:
Low
heap

Bigger grain size
Smooth outer surface
Round shaped grain

General indications
for efficient operation
Sweep auger efficiency is dependent on the type of grain being unloaded. The highest output measured in tons
extracted per hour is obtained with grains that run well. Free running grain results in more efficient auger
operation, a higher discharge rate and less stress on mechanical components.
The opposite is true of grain that does not run so well, that clusters together because of contamination with straw
or twigs, excessive moisture, or because grain shape lends itself to interlocking. In these less than ideal
conditions, work speed
is necessarily compromised.
The following drawings depict magnitudes A, B, C & D. The text that follows can help you assess how
these parameters interact with each other and with different grains to help optimize operation:
“A” is the height that grain within the bag can be taken to by increasing or reducing the pickup roller's RPM's. This
level must not exceed the roller's height to prevent grain from being picked up with the plastic sheet. With this
constraint, grain level should normally be maintained as high as possible so that, with the aid of gravity, it can
readily fall back onto the sweep augers and be directed to the discharge auger.
Fig.41 Fig.43
Fig.42 Fig.44
26

“B” shows the curved shape that the front part of the bag should adopt - Figs. 41 & 42 - in order that the plastic
sheet does not come in contact with the sweep augers or their protection grids with risk of ripping open and losing
contents. The curvature is formed by the grain mass weighing down the tip of the bag as it is rolled in. When grain
does not accumulate there, the plastic will tend to go up to the roller in a straight line - Fig. 43 - dangerously close
to or actually touching the augers, with possibility of bag damage. With grain that flows easily (e.g. dry wheat), if the
sweep augers are set with their normal low clearance to the ground (see “C” below), it can happen that due to quick
passage, no layer of grain is left between the sweep augers and the floor. With no grain weighing down the bottom
part of the bag and grain being unloaded at a very fast pace because it flows freely, it might not accumulate at the
front as in fig. 41 but take on the shape shown in Fig. 43. In this case, sweeper height (“C”) should be increased to
permit some grain to pass beneath the sweepers without being gathered so that it can weigh down the bottom of
the bag and collect at the front (“B”). However, if sweeper height is excessive, too much grain could accumulate
there and project forward, making contact with the unloader's wheels (Fig. 44), a situation that should be avoided.
The weight of grain contained within the curved shape “B” can reach tons. For that reason too it is important to pay
close attention to grain level within the bag and prevent it from climbing above the roller as this will add even more
volume and weight, the problem compounded by a large amount of grain that will immediately be pulled up by the
roller along with the plastic, forming huge lumps of rolled material. If it goes unchecked, this progression could
cause failure of mechanical components.
“C” is the clearance between sweep augers and bag bottom (or ground). This distance should be small so that the
sweep augers lie low inside the bag and are well covered with grain, which ensures adequate delivery to the
discharge auger. The clearance is set via clamp stops placed on the hydraulic cylinder rod. Since the augers
should not touch the ground as this would endanger bag integrity, the convenience of placing the bags on terrain
as flat as possible becomes clear. If the ground is rough, this will force operation with sweeper augers placed
higher up than optimum because a rut will cause the unloader to dip, with the consequence of sweepers bumping
against the ground and ripping the plastic. Especially with grain that clings together and flows badly, it is important
to place the sweeper augers as low as possible. Generally speaking and in average conditions, low may be
considered to be a clearance of about four to six inches from auger flighting to floor.
“D” indicates the slope or angle of grain inside the bag. Materials that flow easily will form a shallow slope Fig. 41
-, whilst those that do not will tend to form a steeper slope - Fig. 42 - that in extreme cases will flow only with great
difficulty and could keep the augers uncovered and visible (or partially visible) while the machine is working,
instead of fully covered with grain which constitutes the most desirable situation. Free flowing grain will typically
cover the augers with a foot thick layer of grain. In relation to this, it is very important to remember that quick
starting the augers deeply immersed in grain will most likely result in shear bolts that snap or transmission
breakages. When labor is interrupted, PTO must not be restarted when augers are deep inside grain. The correct
procedure is to unwind a certain length of plastic by hydraulically turning the roller in reverse and then advancing
forward with tractor and unloader the distance it takes to extricate the augers from the mass of grain. When
reinitiating work, augers should not be thrust into the grain by the tractor, but should be pulled into the mass of
grain by roller action.
27

The main rule when dealing with difficult, hard flowing grain is to slow down the operation.
This means lessening the volume of incoming grain, which in turn means
slowing down the roller's revolutions per minute.
Let us present a practical example applying some of the parameters mentioned above by analyzing an
extraction of “difficult” grain in detail. Most of these indications are applicable grains in general, but grain that
flows with difficulty better exemplifies the precautions that should be taken. Once the operator becomes
knowledgeable about how the unloader handles different types of grain, using the correct approach
becomes a matter of routine. The intention is not to impose a rigid set of rules, but to provide general
guidelines that the operator can follow while he familiarizes himself with the machine.
If we consider a bag filled with grain that will not flow easily, in a situation such as depicted in Fig. 42, the
grain forms a compact mass that the sweep augers can only penetrate with difficulty. The augers will
move less quantity of grain per unit of time compared with free flowing material.
A) First adjust “C” so that sweeper distance to the ground is the minimum possible. This allows the
augers to tackle the mass of grain from a lower point, so that more grain can accumulate above them
and form a steeper angle “D”. This will cause the wall of grain to tumble down more readily and better
feed the augers. Remember that minimum is a relative term and can very well mean 4 or 6 inches or
more from the floor, to compensate for the unloader lurching into a hole or depression and causing the
augers to thump on the ground and rip the plastic. Therefore, sweeper clearance “C” will tend to increase
with ground bumpiness.
B) When backing up the tractor into the bag, the unloader must never be rammed forcefully against
the grain as this can damage the sweeper augers or even bend the beam that supports them. The
unloader should be introduced with prudence in the bag and the augers should not penetrate the mass of
grain, but make light contact with it. See warning (above in “D” section) about not initiating work with
augers surrounded by grain.
C) The PTO should always work within its normal 500/540 rpm range, not slower. Whatever grain
characteristics are, PTO revs are not reduced and augers work at a uniform speed.
28

F) If level of grain inside bag goes too high the roller must be slowed down to allow more grain to
be removed by the sweeper and discharge augers. Grain picked up and rolled as one with the plastic
sheet is the telltale sign that should be watched out for. The roller extremes where the plastic folds
converge on the centering discs is where grain is more likely to collect. If grain is being picked up then
roller speed has to be reduced. If the roller picks up too much grain resulting in prominent and growing
bulges under the plastic, it will be necessary to stop operation, cut the bag, remove plastic sheet from
roller, and reinitiate operation.
G) If grain height reaches point “A”, where a substantial amount of grain is being unloaded with none
being picked up by the roller, then roller speed should be stabilized there. Usually point “A” is the highest
point that the grain can reach without being pulled in with the plastic folds, but the actual clearance to the
roller measured in centimeters can vary. When this plateau is reached, the roller is turning at the correct
speed.
H) This is the point of equilibrium where inflow and outflow of grain are equal. The amount of grain
that can be handled has reached its peak. Increasing discharge speed should not be attempted at this
stage since no benefit in terms of time or volume will be obtained and failure of mechanical parts is a
possibility.
I) If in doubt, first always try working slower before increasing speed in a gradual manner.
E) Grain will start coming out of the discharge auger and simultaneously it will start building up inside
the bag to form shape “B” with a certain gradient “D”. The operator should allow a buildup of grain that
will probably take a few minutes to reach point “A”.
D) Once the bag has been hooked to the roller and the augers are moving, the operator should begin
to haul in the bag by gradually turning open the hydraulic flow control valve (with the roller control lever in
its upper position).

A) The driveline case shown in “A” takes about 4 liters of SAE 85W-140 heavy duty gear oil in two stages. The filling procedure is as follows:
Pour in oil until gear case “A” is full. This will require about two liters (slightly over half a gallon) of oil. Leave it standing for about 24 hours, or to
speed up the process connect to tractor and drive the transmission for an hour, preferably with the fill plug removed to facilitate air venting.
The oil will gradually drain down and once it does the gear case must be refilled with about two additional liters. Oil passage is slow, especially in
low temperatures, and this is the reason why two filling steps are required. It helps if oil is warmed slightly.
Before replacing the fill plug, turn transmission on. Any oil quantity in excess will be thrust out through the plug opening. Peering down, oil should
be visible at about mid level to ensure proper gear lubrication. If oil surface is not visible, pour in some additional quantity.
B) The gear case shown in “B” is filled with about 3 liters of SAE 85W-140 gear lube. Oil is poured through the fill opening at the side of the gear case until oil
reaches and flows out of the smaller drain opening. Both fill and drain plugs are then screwed on in place.
