3. Ensure the machine components come to a stop before inspecting.
4. Correct the emergency situation before resuming work.
6.7. Restarting with a Full Tube
When the GULP2 is shut down inadvertently or due to an emergency, the tube may still
be filled with material.
1. With the power source locked out, remove as much of the grain as possible from the
tube and intake using a shop vacuum or other tool. Do not use your hands.
Starting under load may result in damage to the GULP2 if grain is not
removed as much as possible.
2. If guards or covers have been opened or removed, close or replace them before
restarting the unit.
3. Once the GULP2 has been started, you may resume normal operation.
6.8. Shutdown
Prolonged operation of an empty auger will cause unnecessary
wear.
1. Run the auger and GULP2 Hopper until the hopper and discharge tube are empty.
2. Place the tractor hydraulic controls in neutral.
3. Relieve hydraulic pressure on GULP2 components before disconnecting hydraulic
lines from the tractor.
6.9. Clean Out
After using your GULP2, follow the clean out steps below to ensure longer belt life and
trouble free operation. Failure to clean out the GULP2 can cause build up of product on
the belt and roller shafts, causing spillage, roller misalignment, and excess wear/
damage to the belt
Ensure ignition key is removed or power is locked out before
cleaning out the GULP2.
1. Remove any product remaining in the hopper and spout with a vacuum or sweep
out.
2. Remove debris from shafts, sheaves, and drive belts (as equipped).
3. Once the GULP2 is empty of all product, check for damage on belt and lacing such
as notches or cut outs. Any damage on belt may result in product getting under it
creating a build-up. If belt replacement and re-lacing is necessary, refer to the
Maintenance Section.
Important:
Ensure the GULP2 is free from all product and debris to prevent build-up. Any build-up
on belt and shaft becomes a source of spillage and can cause belt misalignment with the
possibility of belt edges sustaining damage on the fixed structure. Build-up on the
hopper and spout will cause the belt to wear faster due to drag.
4. Once cleaned out, cover intake to prevent moisture from collecting in hopper.
