MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF AND THE UPPER AUGER TUBE IS IN THE DOWN POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING THE RESTRICTERS.
Remove restricters from 90 degree street elbow on hydraulic cylinder. Remove dirt from fitting to allow hydraulic
oil to flow freely through the restricter. Reattach the restricter to the street elbow. Use teflon sealant tape or
equivalent on the threads of the restricter before reattaching.
If restricter continues to plug with dirt, replace or filter the hydraulic oil in your system.

Check the oil in the gearbox.
Check the battery and make sure that it is fully charged (if equipped with
an electronic weigh system). Reconnect the negative (-) cable.
Inflate the tires to the correct operating pressures.
Close the clean-out door at the base of the grain tank.
Make sure that all shields are in the proper position.
Tighten the Slip Clutch Bolts until spring length is 1.27”.
STORAGE PREPARATION
IMPORTANT: When the grain cart is not going to be used for a length of time, store the cart in a dry, protected
place. Leaving your grain cart outside, open to the weather, will shorten its life.
Follow the procedure below when your grain cart is placed in storage for periods up to six months.
Cover electronic monitor (if equipped) with plastic before washing the grain cart. Wash or clean and
completely lubricate the grain cart. (*See the lubrication service section in this manual.)
Remove all grain from inside the grain tank, auger tube assemblies, and at the clean-out door.
Check gearbox oil in the gearbox and replace with new EP 80-90 gearbox lubricant if necessary.
Touch-up spots where paint has been worn away (use a good quality primer paint - especially before
applying graphite paint to the inside of the grain tank).
Retract all hydraulic cylinders to prevent the piston rods from rusting.
If the grain cart is equipped with an electronic weigh system, fully charge the battery to prevent freezing.
Disconnect the negative (-) ground cable at the battery to prevent possible discharge.
Clean the tires before storage. Inflate the tires at regular intervals.
Open the clean-out door at the base of the grain tank.
Loosen the Slip Clutch Tension Bolts. 1)

If the upper and lower flighting still does not separate properly during the folding sequence, a small bevel may
need to be ground out of the inside of the lugs where they meet the drive-dog. Grind approximately 1/8” off of
the corner of the lugs where they touch against the drive-dog.
MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING THE FLIGHTING ASSEMBLY.
If the upper and lower flightings do not properly separate during the unfolding sequence, the upper flighting may
need adjusting. Before making adjustment to upper flighting, check to see if the lugs and drive-dog are locking
together by checking for a 1/8” space between the base of the 4-hole flange bearing and the upper tube
housing. (If not, dirt in the restricter or a faulty check valve on the hydraulic cylinder used to raise the upper tube
may be the cause of the problem. *See instruction for removing dirt from the restricter).
Fold the upper tube assembly into the upright position. Position upper flighting in engaged position with lower
flighting. Locate 4-hole flange bearing on top of the upper tube housing. With the upper flighting in the engaged
position, check the spacing between the upper bearing and the upper tube housing. There must be a 1/8”
space between the base of the 4-hole flange bearing and the upper tube housing. If there is NOT a space
between the bearing and the upper tube housing, or if there is more than a 1/8” space, the upper flighting will
need adjusting. To adjust the upper flighting, loosen the 1 1/4” hex nuts both below and above the 4-hole flange
bearing. Move the 1 1/4” hex nuts either up or down the threaded shaft on top of the upper flighting until a 1/
8” gap is between the base of the bearing and the upper tube housing. Tighten the 1 1/4” hex nuts.
