J&M 1151-22D - Manual (Page 11)

BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF WHEN HOOKING UP TO TRACTOR OR CONNECTING
HYDRAULIC LINES TO TRACTOR.
Preparing the Grain Cart for Use (see tractor recommendation for grain cart model below):
Model 1051-22 and 1151-22 Grain Carts require a 4WD tractor.
Tow Loads Safely
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or
without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider
the total weight of the equipment and its load.
Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which may be lower:
Road Travel (grain cart empty) - Do not travel more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do not tow
loads more than 1.5 times the tractor weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing
loads under adverse surface conditions, when turning, and on inclines.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT pull loaded grain cart on highway. For incidental highway travel,
observe the section below.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: For greater stability on uneven or steep terrain, position wheels at the furthest out
setting. (36” row spacing for grain carts equipped with walking tandem dual wheels)
ADJUSTING ROW SPACING FOR WALKING TANDEM DUAL WHEELS
Securely position jacks under the frame of the grain cart as shown
in Figures A and C.
Loosen the rear of the Frame Weldment by removing the 1” x 7 1/2”
Gr 8 Bolts and Clamp Plate.
Remove the 1 3/4” x 13 1/2” Bolt and Jam Nut from the front of the
Frame Weldment.
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.
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.
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.
Tighten the rear of the Frame Weldment to the grain cart frame using
the six 1” x 7 1/2” Gr 8 Bolts, Hex Nuts and Clamp Plate.
Torque all bolts to specifications and Repeat on Other Side.
