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.
