PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Proper operation of a loaded Top Shot requires a tractor with sufficient horsepower to run the PTO and
proper size to counterbalance the weight of a loaded Top Shot.
Before loading material, adjust the hitch clevis to your tractor in order to obtain a level or forward
position of the Top Shot tank. The hitch clevis mounting plate has several sets of mounting holes to level
theTop Shot for proper material delivery to the expeller. If additional positioning is required, turn the clevis
assembly upside-down to obtain additional adjustment. If theTop Shot is going to be operated in freezing
temperatures, review and comply with recommendations in the Operation Chapter, under the Winter
Operation section.
PREPARING TOP SHOT
Properly lubricate the Top Shot, check automatic oiler level, and fill if necessary before operating. Refer
to Lubrication Section of this Operator’s Manual for locations.
