The drawing shows the proper ways of mounting the wheels using Budd-type nuts. The
wheels supplied with your Grain Cart have straight holes and the Budd nuts will be
mounted according to Figure 1. Wheels that are improperly installed on the grain cart,
resulting in product failure, will nullify warranty and shift the burden of liability to the
owner/operator of the equipment. We suggest that you inspect your wheel nuts to make
sure that they are properly installed. Also, check the wheel nuts on a regular basis to
ensure they are tight.
INITIAL OPERATION/MAINTENANCE
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART.
Before the grain cart is put into service:
Has the gearbox been properly filled with EP-80-90 gearbox lubricant?
TIRE PRESSURE - Are the tires properly inflated? The following is to be used as a general guide for tire
inflation for cyclic use. Figures can vary depending on specific brand of tire used. It is important that tires
are inspected before and after unit is loaded. Start with the minimum pressure indicated. The tire should
stand up with no side wall buckling or distress as tire rolls. Do Not Exceed Maximum Recommended Tire
Pressure.
Tire Size Pressure
35.5 x 32 36 psi
900/60-32 176LI 42 psi
900/60-32 185LI 64 psi
73-44.00 46 psi
76-50.00 40 psi
Has the hanger bushing assembly at the auger hinge been greased and have all grease points at the hinge area
been greased?
Are all bearings on the drive line properly greased? Are all set screws in the bearings and U-Joints tight? Has
the power-take off been properly greased at all points including cross bearings? Has the universal joint at the
gearbox been greased?
IMPORTANT: Has the slip clutch on the PTO been serviced? If the slip clutch is left unchecked, damage to
the power-take-off and drive shaft may result. Before using the grain cart, loosen the bolts around the slip
clutch. Make sure that the friction plates turn free of each other and are not corroded together. Retighten the
tension bolts. Run the auger system EMPTY and check for proper engagement of the slip clutch.
Have all nuts, bolts, bearings, and braces been properly fastened?
Have the safety instructions been read and clearly understood by the operator(s) of this machine?
WHEEL NUTS - Are the wheel nuts properly fastened (torque to 490 Lbs.-Ft. for standard 22 MM wheel studs
and nuts)? They should be checked after each load during initial operation of the cart and then after
every 10 hours of use. Failure to do so may damage wheel nut seats. Once seats are damaged, it will
become impossible to keep nuts tight.
LIGHTING AND SAFETY DECALS - Are the rear, amber extremity lights properly positioned? Extend lights
within 16” of the left and right extremities of the grain cart. Is a SMV Emblem attached to the grain cart?
Are the lights working properly? Are all reflective decals clean and visibile? Are they positioned correctly?
Check the PTO overlap length. Overlap length may vary depending on tractor model. Try to obtain the
greatest possible overlap without bottoming out in the maximum operating condition. Too much overlap may
cause PTO to bottom out and damage driveline. See OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for recommended
overlap.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Under no circumstance is it
recommended to tow a loaded grain
cart in excess of 8 m.p.h.
