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 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. Se-
cure 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.
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. Thisis also a goodtime 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 theforage manually by hand
through the rear opening.
DANGER: NEVER ENTER THE FORAGE BOX
FOR ANY REASON WITHOUTFIRST SHUTTING OFF
AND LOCKING OUT POWER. 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.
