Operating Instructions
Adjusting Row Spacing for Walking Tandem Duals
5. Attach the hydraulic lines to the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (green band) operate the inside gate mechanism. Connect these lines
to one service outlet on the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (yellow band) operate the folding mechanism of the auger. Connect these
lines to a second service outlet on the tractor. The remaining two hydraulic lines (red band) operate the hydraulic flow control spout
located at the end of the upper auger. Connect these lines to a third service outlet on the tractor. Make sure the air is bled from the
hydraulic cylinders and hoses.
6. Run the auger system EMPTY before loading grain into the tank for actual use. Make certain that the upper and lower augers are
properly engaged.
7. Connect the lighting 7-prong connector end on the main wiring harness to the tractor electrical outlet. Make sure that all flasher
and turn indicator lights are working properly before incidental highway travel.
CAUTION
•
Do NOT operate the grain cart before reading and understanding this Operator’s Manual and ALL danger, warning and caution signs.
•
Be sure that a Slow-Moving-Vehicle emblem is attached to the rear of the grain cart.
•
Never exceed 1,000 rpm on the PTO and driveline system.
•
Never fold or extend the auger until the PTO has come to a complete stop.
•
Never fill the grain cart unless the gate indicator is in the closed position.
•
Never allow foreign objects (shovels, etc.) to be placed inside the grain cart.
•
Never engage the lugs and drive dogs on the augers when the system is moving at a high rate of speed.
•
Never perform maintenance work or service the grain cart with the tractor running.
•
Replace the safety chains immediately if you have an event where they are used near their max strength.
1. Securely position jacks under the frame of the grain cart as shown in Figures A and C.
2. Loosen the rear of the frame weldment by removing the 1” x 7-1/2” Gr8 bolts and clamp
plate.
3. Remove the 1-3/4” x 13-1/2” bolt and jam nut from the front of the frame weldment.
4. Slide the frame weldment out to the bolt location for 36” row spacings as shown in
Figure A and secure using the 1-3/4” x 13-1/2” bolt and jam nut. If the grain cart is
equipped with an electronic scale system, be sure not to damage the electronic cord
when moving the frame weldment.
5. Swing the frame weldment outward. Switch the tire location by removing both tires
and remounting each tire to the hub on the opposite side of the weldment. The tire
originally on the outside of the weldment will now be located on the inside of the
weldment and vice versa. (The valve stems for 36” row spacing should be facing toward
the frame weldment, or toward each other.) Be sure to keep the tire tread positioned in
the same direction as before.
6. After the wheels have been tightened to the hubs, swing the frame weldment until the
new clamping location is 9” from the original 30” row spacing stop.
7. Tighten the rear of the frame weldment to the grain cart frame using the six 1” x 7-1/2”
Gr8 bolts, hex nuts, and clamp plate.
8. Torque all bolts to specifications and repeat on other side.
