REAR UNLOAD 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. For tractors, disengage the hydraulics, turn off the engine and set the brakes.
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.
Unloading is best observed from the operator’s seat. Keep moving the forage box forward to prevent silage from being carried underneath into the main apron chain return area.
The front of the box has a plexiglass window for conve- nient observation.
WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN EVERYONE IS WELL CLEAR OF EQUIPMENT BEFORE APPLYING POWER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERI- OUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Tractor Pulled:
Always park the forage box and unloading tractor in a straight line. Shift the unloading tractor to “Neutral” or “Park”. Set the brakes and turn power off.
Make sure all persons are well clear of the forage box and the unloading area.
