Pivoting drawbar pivots (2 nipples)
Chute ram pivots (2 nipples)
Ring hitch
Oil Crossbeater & Bed chain roller chains
The above frequencies are based on typical daily use for
bedding & feeding purposes. Continuous use for special
applications may necessitate more frequents lubrication.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
OVERSIZE WHEELS
Larger wheels may be fitted to the Tomahawk.
DRAWBAR JACK
Where the machine is fitted with a drawbar jack, adjust
the height of the drawbar to match the height of the hitch
point on the tractor. Reverse the tractor and attach the
drawbar. Lower the machine until the weight is fully
transferred to the tractor. Remove the pin retaining the
jack to the drawbar and transfer it onto the transport
position across the front of the chassis.
ELECTRICALLY OPERATED SOLENOID VALVE
BATTERY SUPPLY CABLE.
Provided with the controls, is a supply cable for direct
connection to the tractor battery. When fitting to the
tractor, make sure that the positive cable is fitted to the
positive terminal of the battery. Failure to connect the
wires to the correct terminal will cause the in-line fuse
to blow. The fuse will continue to blow until the power
cables are connected correctly. When fitting the cable,
make sure it is routed away from high temperature and
moving engine components. Avoid sharp edges that
would damage the cable, particularly when passing the
cable through a bulkhead. Position the two pin socket
in a suitable position within the cab.
CONTROL BOX
Supplied with the machine is a mounting plate, which
should be fitted in the cab in a suitable position
ensuring no damage to the cab structure.
The control box is fitted to a mounting bracket which
can be used on either side of the cab.
To reverse the bracket, remove the mounting bolts
beneath the control box lid and re-position the control
box. Make sure seal is in correct position when
reassembling.
A 7.5 amp blade type fuse is fitted in the supply lead of
the control box. If the connector provided on the
supply lead is not to be used, it is essential that the 7.5
amp fuse is retained to prevent damage by current
overload and incorrect connection to the tractor battery.
MACHINE CABLE
Once the control box has been positioned, route the
machine cable into the cab making sure it is kept away
from the rear wheel and any pinch points between the
PTO shaft and link arms. Where possible, route into
the cab through cable entry points on the tractor,
allowing the rear window to be kept closed during use.
Plug the cable connector into the socket on the box
and secure by rotating the locking collar.
BED CHAIN OPERATION (Push Button Controls)
The bed chain is operated by pressing forward button
to move forwards, pressing forward button to stop, and
pressing and holding reverse button to reverse. It is
not necessary to stop the bed chain before pressing
the reverse button as this will automatically cancel the
forward direction before engaging reverse.
STORAGE
When the machine is not being used it is
recommended that the control box be stored safely
away from the machine in a dry position. The plug on
the end of the machine cable should be kept stored in
the bracket provided to keep it clean and stored safe
from damage.
MAINTENANCE
Before maintaining any part of the electronic controls
and wires, disconnect the 12v supply. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the electronic circuit
controlling the bed chain speed.
It is recommended that the controls are repaired by a
competent person. Copies of the circuit diagram are
available from the manufacturer on request.
DISPOSAL
At the end of the machine’s working life, the method of
disposal must be within the legislation laid down by the
local authority or the National Environment Agency.
The machine is composed of ferrous materials,
synthetic paints and rubber compounds.
