10. Practical Usage
Loading
To front-load onto the vehicle during forage harvesting, the upper part of the front panel can be swivelled down
hydraulically.
Unloading
- Fully open hydraulic tailgate.
- Switch on hydraulic floor conveyor.
- Do not switch to floor conveyor level 2 before the vehicle has half emptied.
- In the case of Mega-Trailer DO, switch on the shredder drums via the tractor P.T.O. shaft.
Switch on the hydraulic floor conveyor.
- Adjust your driving over the stack so that forage does not pile up behind the trailer.
Practical Tip
To discharge the last forage remaining in the vehicle, we recommend switching off the drive shaft together with the
shredder drums and running the trailer empty on the hydraulic floor conveyor.
11. Maintenance and Care
Check all nuts and bolts regularly and re-tighten as required.
11.1 Floor Conveyor Chains
The floor conveyor chains are self-tensioning. If the maximum tension way of this automatic system has become
overstretched after long periods of use, 2 or 4 links will have to be removed from each round steel chain.
The spring tension should be set to 3 - 10 mm (see fig. 11) with the adjusting screw (5).

To shorten floor conveyor chains
Shorten the floor conveyor chains as follow:
1.
Let the floor conveyor run on until the chain connecting links reach the upper platform
area.
2.
Loosen the adjusting screw completely (see fig. 11)
3.
Shorten chain lengths by an equal amount (2 or 4 chain links from each one)
4.
Re-tension floor conveyor as described in 11.1.
11.2 Shredder drum – drive chains
Attention:
Only open shredder-drum-drive protective hood when the tractor is switched off.
The shredder drum drive chains are fitted with automatic chain tensioners.
If the max. tension way is used up, the chain tensioner has to be loosened and readjusted in the slotted hole.
