PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Hydraulics
The
Top Shot
requires a 6-hose hook-up:
- 2 hoses for raising/lowering the main auger.
- 2 hoses for opening/closing the discharge door.
- 2 hoses for operating the discharge deflector.
Optional:
- 2 hoses for the optional lid.
Before starting the tractor, make sure each set
of hydraulic hoses connects to the appropriate
set of remote outlets on the tractor. Operate the
tractor valve to fill the hydraulic lines and operate
the cylinders. Add hydraulic fluid to the tractor
system, as required.
Attach the
Top Shot
PTO to the tractor PTO shaft locking
it into position and check distance by the following:
1. Maintain a straight alignment between the
Top Shot
and the tractor.
2. Maintain a distance of 6″- 12″ between the top of
the tractor drawbar and the center of the
tractor PTO. An 8″ distance is standard.
After the correct distance is obtained, slide back the coupler lock and attach the PTO drive to the tractor
PTO shaft. Make sure that the coupler locks onto the PTO shaft; slide it back and forth until it locks.
NOTE:
Do
NOT
attempt to use a hammer to help in attaching the PTO drive connection.
NOTE:
Remove the tractor 3-point quick hitch if the tractor is equipped with one. Tractor 3-point arms
must be removed or positioned so they do not come in contact with the
Top Shot
tongue or PTO.
Failure to heed will cause damage and void the warranty.
PTO
The
Top Shot
is equipped with a constant velocity telescoping PTO drive
shaft. This constant velocity capability results in a smooth, quiet running
drive line without power fluctuation. The
Top Shot
can only be properly
hooked-up to a tractor which has PTO and hitch dimensions conforming
to ASAE Standard S203. Horsepower required may vary according to the
consistency of material to be spread, ground speed, and terrain. To prevent
damage to the telescoping PTO drive, DO NOT allow the tractor’s rear tires
to make contact with the PTO or
Top Shot
while making sharp turns. Be
careful when pulling the
Top Shot
with a tractor that is equipped with dual
rear tires.
NOTE:
The maximum joint angle must not exceed 80º whether in operation
or not. Any angle greater than 80º, will result in damage to the joint. For
continuous operation, the maximum joint angle must be limited to 35º. Any
continuous operation at angles greater than 35º will shorten joint life.
