WARNING: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS FORAGE BOX, READ AND STUDY THE FOL- LOWING SAFETY INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO OPERATES OR WORKS WITH THE FORAGE BOX, WHETHER FAMILY MEMBER OR EMPLOYEE, IS FAMILIAR WITH THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
The emergency stop mechanism stops only the front unloading unit from operating and not the rear unloading oper- ation of the forage box! Trip the emergency stop regularly with the trip cables to ensure that it will shut the front un- loading unit down in an emergency.
Require anyone who will operate this forage box to read and completely understand this owner’s manual. Give necessary instruc- tions.
DO NOT operate, service, inspect or otherwise handle this forage box until all operators have read this Owner’s Manual and have been properly trained in its intended usage.
DO NOT allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this forage box.
If the forage box becomes clogged, shut off the tractor engine and allow all mechanisms to stop. Disconnect PTO shaft or hydraulic drive supply hoses (relieve hydraulic pressure). Then, clean or work on the forage box as required.
Always shut off power and disconnect PTO shaft or Hydraulic drive supply hoses (relieve hydraulic pressure) from tractor to prevent accidental startup or unexpected movement before working on forage box.
DO NOT clean, adjust or reset the emergency stop while the forage box is in motion.
Make sure all hydraulic fittings are tight and that all hoses are in good condition. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury. Never investigate for hydraulic leaks by using a part of the body to feel for escaping fluid.
Inspect when first delivered and regularly thereafter; that all connections and bolts are tight and secure before operating.
