Drive alongside the loading vehicle. Fill the forage box evenly to properly distribute the load while loading. When dumping
into the box with an end-loader, center the bucket just forward of the axle to properly distribute the load while loading.
NOTE: The suspension can be lowered in order to allow equipment to load the forage box. Once the forage box
is loaded, follow section 6.5 SET UP to allow the forage box suspension to operate at the center of travel.
7.2 UNLOADING
NOTE: Unloading is best observed from the operator’s seat.
NOTE: The front of the forage box is equipped with plexiglass windows to monitor forage level from the
operator’s seat.
NOTE: If equipped with steer axles, follow section 6.8.3 Reverse Lock Instruction (Steering Axle Option Only)
when backing up.
Enter the tractor, start the engine, release the parking brake.
Move the tractor and forage box to the unloading area.
Place all tractor controls in neutral, engage the parking brake and SLOWLY
engage the apron chains to open the rear door.
Once the load has started to move, release the parking brake, move forward
to prevent the silage from being carried underneath into the main apron
chain return area. The front of the box has a plexiglass window for
convenient observation.
When finished unloading, reduce engine speed to idle and disengage the
hydraulics. Move the forage box forward, away from the unloaded pile of
forage. Close the rear door when you have cleared enough distance to not
impede the door.
Use the plexiglass windows to verify the door is in the closed position.
Shutoff and lockout power before performing machine service,
adjusting, maintaining, or clearing an obstruction from this machine.
Refer to section 5.3 SHUTOFF & LOCKOUT POWER.
STAND CLEAR, the rear discharge door can open quickly and with
extreme force.
Keep all persons well clear of the rear discharge door, forage box and
unloading area.
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.
