PRE-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. On tractor pulled units, the connection
between the tractorPTO andbox isby a removablePTO
drive shaft. For tractors, disengage the PTO drive, turn
off the engine, set the brakes and disconnect the PTO
drive shaft from the tractor.
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.
References in this manual are made to the PTO drive
shaft and are applicable to tractor pulled MODELS.
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 applica-
tions.
Input speed to the forage box line shaft must be 540 rpm
maximum. On trucks the PTO drive must be reduced to
obtain this speed. For tractors, select the 540rpm option
according to manufacturers instructions.

-
form to the standard dimensions shown on the following
illustration. This will ensure that the PTO drive shaft will
not be over extended.
