WHEATHEART - HYDROSTATIC BIN SWEEP 1. INTRODUCTION
STANDARD, PORTABLE, TRUCK MOUNT, & SUPER SWEEP
1.Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Wheatheart Portable or Truck Mount
Supersweep. This piece of equipment will complement your agricultural
operation by aiding in the safe and efficient movement of grain, pulse crops,
fertilizer, or any other granular materials.
The standard equipment provided with Wheatheart’s Supersweeps includes a
motor coupler, universal section with u-joint, two plain straight sections, and a
third straight section with a walking shoe to prevent the sweep from tipping over.
The Portable Supersweep is a completely self-contained bin sweep. The unique
upright design in a “wheeler” style provides easy movement over any terrain. The
unit comes complete with the standard equipment listed above, and an easystarting Honda engine that provides plenty of power.
The Truck Mount Supersweep attaches easily to your existing hydraulic system,
and the Self-Propelled Mover Kit Supersweep adds on to the existing mover kit;
both come with the standard equipment listed above.
Optional Supersweep add-ons:
• A larger 6.3 hp motor for added torque when adding extra sections.
• A u-joint backboard to help reduce the grain pile at the auger intake also
helps prevent the sweep from tipping over.
• A drive wheel that helps drive the sweep into the pile.
• A larger oil reservoir for heavy-duty service (used with the mover option).
Your new Wheatheart Supersweep will serve you well if you understand how it
operates, if you use it properly, and if you care for it properly. This manual is
intended to help you learn how to assemble, operate, and maintain your
equipment in a safe, efficient, and trouble-free manner. Please read this manual
all the way through before using your new equipment.
Should any information remain unclear after thoroughly reviewing this manual,
contact your Wheatheart Dealer for clarification.

stand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals and follow them
before assembling, operating, or maintaining the equipment. All accidents

WHEATHEART - HYDROSTATIC BIN SWEEP 2. SAFETY FIRST
STANDARD, PORTABLE, TRUCK MOUNT, & SUPER SWEEP 2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Follow good shop practices:
• keep service area clean and dry
• be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded
• use adequate light for the job at hand
• Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Read the instructions and familiarize yourself with the subassemblies and
hardware making up the equipment.
• The components are large, heavy, and can be hard to handle. Be sure to use
the proper tools, stands, jacks, and hoists for the job.
• Have 2 people handle the heavy bulky components.
• Place safety stands or large blocks under the machine or components before
going beneath the component for assembly.
• Stay away from overhead power lines and obstructions when lifting the
machine during assembly. Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
Contact with obstructions can damage components or cause them to fail.
• Tighten all fasteners to their specified torque before using the machine.
2.3. OPERATION SAFETY
• Have another person nearby who can shut down the equipment in case of
accident.
• Do not operate with any of the safety guards removed.
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from moving parts. Stay away from intake
during operation.
2.4. MAINTENANCE SAFETY
• Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make sure all components
are tight and that hoses and couplings are in good condition.
• Relieve pressure from hydraulic circuit before servicing or disconnecting from
tractor.
• Place stands or blocks under the frame before working beneath the machine.
• After maintenance is complete, replace and secure all safety guards and
safety devices, and if applicable, service doors and cleanout covers.
• Remove all tools and unused parts from machine before operation.
• Remove buildup of grease, oil, and debris.
• Inspect all parts. Ensure parts are in good condition and installed properly.
Use only genuine Wheatheart replacement parts or equivalent. Replacement
parts must meet ASAE standards or serious injury may result. Use of
unauthorized parts will void the warranty. If in doubt, contact Wheatheart or your
Wheatheart dealer.

2.5. STORAGE SAFETY STANDARD, PORTABLE, TRUCK MOUNT, & SUPER SWEEP
2.5. STORAGE SAFETY
• Store in an area away from human activity.
• Do not permit children to play on or around the stored machine.
2.6. HYDRAULIC SAFETY
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve system pressure
before disconnecting or working on hydraulic system.

• Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings or hoses with
tape, clamps, or concrete. The hydraulic system operates under extremely
high pressure; such repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and
unsafe condition.
• Before moving a hydraulic cylinder, ensure that the attached component is
safely secured.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid can cause serious injury if it
penetrates the skin. If it does, see a doctor
immediately.
• Relieve pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic line.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection and
use wood or cardboard, not hands, when
searching for leaks.
2.7. ENGINE SAFETY
• Be sure to stop engine and remove key or lock out power before inspecting or
servicing engine
• Refer to engine operation manual for further details.
2.8. SAFETY DECAL LOCATIONS
• Keep safety decals clean and legible at all times.
• Replace safety decals that are missing or have become illegible. See decal
location figures below.
• Replaced parts must display the same decal(s) as the original part.
• Safety decals are available from your distributor, dealer, or factory.
