6.0 OPERATING THE CART
6.1 Startup
After entering the field for the first time of each season, completely cycle the tank lift and tilt controls
to purge any air in the system. When operating, hold the controls 3 to 5 seconds past movement.
WARNING:
When lifting tanks beware of overhead utility lines.
6.2 Filling The Cart
CAUTION:
A clear line of sight or communication must be maintained between the operator of the
loading equipment and the operator of the cart.
4.
The operator must watch the weight monitors to prevent overloading. The maximum capacity
of the cart is 80,000 lbs.
5.
If loading while in motion, the cart speed must match the harvesting equipment speed up to a
maximum of 10 mph (17 km/h).
6.
The cart must be loaded as evenly as possible to have better control during the unloading process.
Do not overload the cart.
CAUTION:
Do not elevate the tank during loaded travel. This would change the center of gravity of
the cart and cause handling or tipping problems on turns or side inclines.
NOTE:
The turning radius of the cart and tractor depends on the capabilities of the tractor and the
distance between the hitch and the centerline of the cart tracks.
