Operating Instructions (Continued)
CAUTION
• Do NOT operate the grain cart before reading and understanding the Operator’s Manual and ALL danger, warning and
caution signs.
• Be sure that a Slow-Moving-Vehicle emblem is attached to the rear of the grain cart.
• Never exceed 1,000 rpm on the PTO and driveline system.
• Never fold or extend the auger until the PTO has come to a complete stop.
• Never fill the grain cart unless the gate indicator is in the closed position.
• Never allow foreign objects (shovels, etc.) to be placed inside the grain cart.
• Never engage the lugs and drive dogs on the augers when the system is moving at a high rate of speed.
• Never perform maintenance work or service the grain cart with the tractor running.
4) Be sure that no debris or foreign objects are in the grain cart.
5) Attach the hydraulic lines to the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (green band) operate the inside gate mechanism. Connect
these lines to one service outlet on the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (yellow band) operate the folding mechanism of the
auger. Connect these lines to a second service outlet on the tractor. The remaining two hydraulic lines (red ban) operate
the hydraulic flow control spout located at the end of the upper auger. Connect these lines to a third service outlet on the
tractor. Make sure the air is bled from the hydraulic cylinders and hoses.
6) Run the auger system EMPTY before loading grain into the tank for actual use. Make certain that the slip clutch is
operating and that the upper and lower augers are properly engaged.
7) Connect the lighting 7-prong connector end on the main wiring harness to the tractor electrical outlet. Make sure that
all flasher and turn indicator lights are working properly before incidental highway travel.
Loading and Unloading the Grain Cart
1) With the gate indicator in the closed position, fill the tank with grain.
2) With the PTO disengaged, fold the discharge auger to the upright position.
3)
IMPORTANT: After the upper auger is in the upright position, be sure to start the PTO at a SLOW RATE OF SPEED
until the lugs on the upper auger engage the drive dog on the bottom auger. Failure to follow this procedure may cause
extensive damage to both the drive dog and the drive line.
4) Increase the PTO speed and slowly open the inside tank gate until the gate indicator rod located above the upper auger
is halfway between the Open and Closed position. When grain begins flowing from the discharge auger, continue to open
the gate to obtain the desired unload rate.
5) To stop unloading grain, return the inside tank gate to the closed position and allow the material inside the auger to
unload. For complete cleanout, gradually close the inside tank gate. Once the grain has ceased to flow, disengage
the PTO and allow its rotation to come to a complete stop. The upper auger is now ready to be returned to the stow
position. IMPORTANT: Do Not Pull the grain cart through the field with the unloading auger in the upright position. Failure
to return the auger to the lowered stow position may damage the hinge and greatly reduce the life of the auger system.
