1.2 Trailer Wheel Mounting.
Before using the Brandt Grain Vac, the transport
wheels must be moved to the outer (working)
position as shown below.
1. Place a jack under the frame of the Vac and
raise one wheel off the ground.
2. Remove the four 1/2” x 1 3/4” hex bolts, and
the 1/2” locknuts.
3. Position the wheel and fender assembly in the
outer (working) position. Note that it is not
necessary to remove the fender first.
4. Fasten in place with the hardware removed in
step 1 above.
5. Repeat the procedure on the other wheel.
1.1 PTO Post Installation
Before using the Brandt Grain Vac the PTO Post
must be installed. The Post and the tractor end of
the PTO shaft are bundled together and placed inside
the vac body. The following instructions will help
with the installation of the PTO Holder.
1. Loosely attach the PTO post to the front right
side of the frame, see photo below, with the two
5/16” x 4” ubolts and 5/16” locknuts.
2. Slide the implement end of the PTO shaft into
the half mounted to the vac.
3. Grease the universal joints on both ends of the
PTO shaft. Grease the middle or telescoping
part of the PTO shaft.
4. Set the PTO shaft onto the PTO holder
assembled above.
5. Slide the PTO holder as far back as possible
without the PTO shaft interfering with the fan
guard. Mounting the post farther back reduces
the chance of the PTO shaft interfering with a
towing vehicle.
6. Tighten the nuts on the PTO holder U-bolts.
7. Install the PTO holder pin onto the top of the
PTO holder. This will secure the PTO shaft.
