Operational Instructions

Connecting the Wagon onto Tractor.

• Connect the drawbar eye to the Tractor tow pin or quick hitch if using one. • Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor • Connect the lights plug (if lights are fitted on the wagon) to the tractor

Loading the Wagon

• Ensure the tail door is latched shut • Fill the rear portion of the wagon with silage or feed

Storage

• The machine can be stored outside as long as the bonnet is kept closed to keep the weather out. • Do not leave silage or feed sitting in the wagon for too long – it may compost or even get hot in the sun and potentially catch fire. • After sitting for a while, especially outside, ensure that the chains and axles etc are greased as they can become very dry. Perform maintenance checks when bringing the machine out of storage.

Hydraulic Adjustments

• Allen Key (Blue Arrow) – Feed Control pressure. Factory setting = 4 turns counter-clockwise from closed (in). Turn clockwise to increase the amount that the Bed floor moves. This will increase the amount of material feeding onto the elevator. • Allen key (Orange Arrow) – Rear Floor Speed. Factory setting = 1 turn & 5 flats (300°) counter-clockwise from closed (in). Turn the Allen key counter-clockwise to increase the rear floor speed. Increasing the rear bin speed will decrease the elevator speed. Recommend setting to 2 rpm at the bed floor drive shaft. • Allen Key (Green Arrow) – System pressure. Factory setting 2050 psi = 4 turns counter-clockwise from closed (in). Approximately 5 threads out past the backing nut (red arrow). Before adjusting attach a pressure gauge to the port shown with a yellow arrow below. Fit valve, gauge and turn valve off. Run the machine and check the pressure reading. This must not exceed 2500psi (172 bar). • Allen Key (Purple Arrow) – Cross Conveyor speed adjustment. Factory

Setting fully counter-clockwise, turn clockwise to increase speed.

Increasing speed will slightly slow the rest of the machine, can rectify by increasing oil flow from tractor.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS CONT.

Do • Use a tractor big enough for the job, has at least 80 Litres per minute oil flow and always drive safely to the conditions. • Drive slowly when loaded • Connect the drawbar to tractor via drawbar or SWIFT HITCH. • If using a SWIFT HITCH, with the tractor and trailed unit sitting on level ground, lift the SWIFT HITCH up to make the trailed unit level. • Ensure the trailer jack is lifted well clear of the ground so it will not hit when on uneven ground. • We recommend a safety chain is connected from the trailer to either the SWITCH HITCH or the tractor. • Clean the hydraulic connectors and couple to tractors hydraulic banks, Elevator tilt hoses into bank 1 and the machine into bank 2. • Connect the electric control and lights if fitted. • Adjust tractors hydraulic flow to 60-80 Litres per minute. • Check direction of elevator rotation prior to feeding. • Load feed material in to machine. Best to break up bulky product to help with smooth flow of product when feeding out.

Do Not

• Tow this machine on a slope greater than 12deg. • Actuate the control levers backward and forwards to ‘free’ the load if the floor or elevator chains become jammed. As this can cause damage to drives and hydraulics. • Overload the machine with material. • Ride on the drawbar. • Water blast the load cell head unit, load cells or junction box. • Apply excessive material pressure on to elevator. • Weld on the machine with a load cells fitted. • Leave strings in machine during or after operation • Load above sides unless on flat ground as product may fall, maximum permissible load above sides on flat ground is not more than 600mm. • Overload your machine, check model specifications for correct loading capacity. • Exceed 30Kph when loaded, and only 40Kph max when empty.
