General Operating Instructions

Prior to using your new Silage Defacer, it is important that 

you familiarize yourself with the Operator’s Manual, and 

complete the 

“Operating Checklist” 

on page 14.

!

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Do not allow bystanders or animals to be near the 

attachment, loader arms, or power machine during 

operation. Stop operation if bystanders are too close. They 

can be hit by thrown or falling objects, entangled, crushed, 

ran over, etc. 

!

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Allow only persons to operate this attachment who have 

fully read and comprehended this manual, who are properly 

trained to operate the attachment safely, and who are age 16 

or older. Serious injury or death can result from the failure 

to read, understand, and follow instructions provided in this 

manual.

Never carry riders on the attachment or power machine. 

Riders can obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with 

controls, be pinched by moving components, become 

entangled in rotating components, struck by objects, thrown 

about, fall off and be run over, etc.

Operate only power machines equipped with a certified 

Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep 

folding ROPS in the “locked up” position when 

appropriate. If ROPS is in the locked up position, fasten seat 

belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious 

injury or death from falling and machine overturn.

Always be alert when operating the loader. Watch the front, 

sides, and back for people, animals, and obstructions. 

Watch for overhead clearances when raising loader arms 

and while traveling.

All guards and shields must be installed and in good 

working condition while operating the attachment.

1. Before operating the power machine and 

attachment, clear work area of all bystanders, 

animals and potentially hazardous obstructions.

2. If backing-up with attachment, make sure rear 

visibility is appropriate for the attachment. Backup 

camera or mirror is recommended. Maintain 

cleanliness of lens or mirror.

3. Ensure chain guard (#1) is properly secured to the 

rotor frame’s left arm (#6), and is in good working 

condition. See Figure 3-6.
a. Confirm the chain guard is secured with two 

3/8" x 1" bolts (#5), two 3/8" lock washers (#4), 

and two 3/8" locknuts (#3).

b. Correct installation of chain guard (#1) involves 

sliding guard (#1) behind and up against guard 

stop (#2).

4. Clean lens on backup camera or mirror to ensure 

visibility when operating attachment and power 

machine in reverse.

5. Ensure all controls are in neutral or park prior to 

starting power machine.

6. Depending on your power machine’s loader hitch, 

hook up to the attachment by following the procedure 

for 

“Hook-up to Quick Attach Hitch” 

on page 16 or 

“Hook-up to Euro Hitch” 

on page 17.

7.

Slowly drive up to the bunker or feed pit with 

attachment low to the ground. 

8. Once stopped, raise attachment, then actuate 

hydraulic flow to the Silage Defacer through the 

controls found on power machine.
a. Starting at the top of the bunker or feed pit, slowly 

bring Silage Defacer into contact with silage until 

loose silage starts to fall to the ground.

9. Using the back up camera or mirror, confirm there are 

still no people, animals or hazardous obstructions 

behind the power machine.

10. Place power machine in reverse.

a. Slowly operate power machine in reverse while 

carefully lowering loader and Silage Defacer 

down the face of the bunker or feed pit.

11. When no longer in contact with the bunker or feed pit, 

disengage rotor until power machine and attachment 

are repositioned for continued defacing.

Chain Guard Safety Check

Figure 3-6

IMPORTANT: 

Always deface bunker and feed pits 

with a downward cut. To prevent damage to the 

attachment, ensure rotor tines do not come in 

contact with the ground.

NOTE:  

Aim to remove no more than 1"- 3" of 

compacted feed in a single pass. Following this 

guideline ensures a clean face and will prevent the 

attachment from stalling. 

72609

Chain guard 

must slide in 

behind, and up 

against guard 

stop (#2).
