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 truck PTO drive or the tractor hydraulics. 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 hap- pens properly.

WARNING: SHUT OFF AND LOCK OUT POWER 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. This is also a good time to inspect all adjustments and check for parts that need repair or replacement. Per- forming 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 forage box to a safe work area and then repair the mechanism before proceeding with unloading of the forage. If repairs require re- moval of forage from inside the forage box, remove the rear discharge door (bolted hinges on top of each side) and empty the forage manually by hand through the rear opening.

DANGER: NEVER ENTER THE FORAGE BOX FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT FIRST 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.
