Please read the owners manual before mounting or trying the Bin
Buddy!

Mounting Instructions

To mount the spout, drill two 3/32 holes half way around, from the front center
of the steel spout on the auger (front implies the intake end of the auger). From
the inside of the steel spout tack weld two 3/8” lock nuts (supplied). Place the
spout over the steel auger spout and insert the shoulder bolts with the flat
washer on the outside of the spout. Tighten until the bolts bottom out, this will
allow the spout to pivot. Make sure that the tab of the spout is hanging towards
the intake end of the auger.

To mount the sensor, use the two holes drilled into the tab at the bottom of the
spout. First insert the pan head screw from the outside of the spout, install one
clamp and then the other. Insert the ¼” nuts into the inside clamp and begin to
thread the pan head screws. Once the clamps are fastened to the spout and
slightly tightened up, insert the sensor between the clamps and finish tightening
the clamps. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE PAN HEAD SCREWS!!

To install the receiver Unit, make sure that the top pin on the 7 pin round
connector is the ground (-) and the bottom is (+). Simply insert the sensor into
the 7 pin round connector, located on the tractor.

To insert or remove batteries, simply unscrew the antenna and push slightly
down on the antenna connection while pulling on the other end of the sensor.
Insert the batteries ensuring the polarity of the batteries. Reinsert the board
into the tube and attach the antenna. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE ANTENNA,
AS IT WILL DAMAGE THE CONNECTION!!

How to use your Bin Buddy

To use your Bin Buddy, simply place into your bin, making sure not to set the
auger on the sensor. Insert the auger to the desired depth, or until the
reflective tape is just visible in the bin lid. Fill the bin and for the first couple of
bins you will want to watch and make sure that the spout is at the right height
so as not to run the bin over or plug the auger. When you hear the horn, simply
close the gate on the truck, lift the auger slightly and idle down the tractor until
the auger is empty and ready to move. When inserting the auger in the bin,
make sure the spout is touching the edge of the bin lid opening towards the
tractor.

Storage

Remove the batteries when not using the sensor for long periods of time. We
recommend removing the sensor once you are done with it for the season.

There are no user serviceable parts inside other than the batteries. Please do
not tamper with anything inside the tube!

Operation

“This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of 2.7 dBd.
Antennas having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry
Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.”

“To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is
not more than that required for successful communication.”

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
