OPERATION
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
In case a foreign object becomes lodged in the expeller or
auger area,
disengage the PTO. Stop the tractor engine,
remove ignition key, and allow all mechanisms to stop
before cleaning or working on the machine
. If an object is
lodged inside the tank, block-up the discharge gate and raise
the conveyor auger before attempting to remove the object.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Check entire
Top Shot
carefully before first operation. Tighten bolts and set screws that might have
come loose in shipping. Lubricate as explained in the Lubrication Chapter in this manual.
H&S
Top Shots
feature a large tank, forward right side discharge expeller, hydraulically controlled
discharge gate, and conveyor auger. Top Shots are designed and constructed to handle a wide variety of
waste material types including liquids, semi-liquids, and limited solid material. Many potential spreading
problems can be avoided if the following guidelines are established and met:
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the expeller, auger and drive line, foreign objects, such as stones,
timber or metal, should never be placed into the Top Shot tank.
1. In winter or freezing temperatures, make sure the auger and expeller are free to rotate and that
the discharge gate moves freely, before loading the
Top Shot
and applying PTO power.
2. The discharge gate must be closed before loading.
3. The auger is completely lowered before loading.
4. When loading packed material into the
Top Shot
with a loader bucket, try to break up any large
chunks.
5. Material which is too thick or solid to flow should only be heaped on the rear 2/3 of the
Top Shot
.
6. When hauling extremely heavy materials with a large portion of dirt, it may be necessary to reduce
the load size to prevent excessive shear bolt breakage. Do not use extra sideboards. Do not
overload the
Top Shot
. Overloading decreases spreading effectiveness.
7. Liquid or semi-liquids that flow will self-level allowing the
Top Shot
to be filled to a level such that
sloshing or splashing material will be contained.
NOTE:
Expeller feeding will diminish as bridging occurs. To counteract bridging, completely raise, and
lower the auger back down immediately. This operation will help to break-up the bridging.
