LOADING AND UNLOADING THE GRAIN CART
1) With the gate indicator in the closed position, fill the tank with grain.
2) With the PTO disengaged, fold the discharge auger to the upright position.
3)
IMPORTANT: After the upper auger is in the upright position, be sure to start the PTO at a SLOW RATE OF SPEED
until the lugs on the upper auger engage the drive dog on the bottom auger. Failure to follow this procedure may cause
extensive damage to both the drive dog and the drive line.
4) Increase the PTO speed and slowly open the inside tank gate until the gate indicator rod located above the upper
auger is halfway between the Open and Closed position. When grain begins flowing from the discharge auger, continue
to open the gate to obtain the desired unload rate.
5) To stop unloading grain, return the inside tank gate to the closed position and allow the material inside the auger to
unload. For complete cleanout, gradually close the inside tank gate. Once the grain has ceased to flow, disengage
the PTO and allow its rotation to come to a complete stop. The upper auger is now ready to be returned to the stow
position. IMPORTANT: Do Not Pull the grain cart through the field with the unloading auger in the upright position.
Failure to return the auger to the lowered stow position may damage the hinge and greatly reduce the life of the auger
system.
